He was influenced by his father Hisashi who played baseball, as well as his mother Yasuko who was a softball player. However, he was not allowed to play the sport in a team while in primary school, as his father did not want him to over-use his shoulders and elbows. He got involved in swimming instead, and eventually joined a baseball team after entering middle school. (at-s.com, 17 Jun 2021; column.sp.baseball.findfriends.jp, 30 Sep 2013)
