CHILDHOOD DREAM COMES TRUE
While he was in the sixth grade of primary school, he wrote a 'time capsule' letter addressed to himself to read 10 years later. He wrote, "I am not good at school, but I like baseball. I want to be a professional baseball player. I was happy to play in the prefecture baseball tournament". His dream came true in 2021 when he joined Hiroshima Toyo Carp after being selected in the first round of the NPB draft. "I learned a lot about how hard it is to earn money [while playing for an amateur team] and how grateful I am able to play professional baseball. That experience made me grow up, and I am really glad for that." (nhk.or.jp, 15 Jun 2021; bunshun.jp, 02 May 2021)
