CHOOSING LIBERO
His father encouraged him to begin playing as a libero in grade nine of middle school after he selected to represent Hokkaido Prefecture in Japan. "My father served as the head coach of both Hokkaido team and Eniwa Junior High School's team, so I was coached by him. He advised me to switch from an attacker to a libero due to my height. Thanks to him, I am who I am now." (hochi.news, 05 Jan 2020)
