Following his accident he tried a number of sports including wheelchair rugby and Para swimming, but did not feel they were suitable for him. He discovered Para archery at a Para sports centre he visited with a friend and decided to get involved in the sport after watching videos of archers who used their mouth or leg to shoot a bow.

General
OCCUPATION
In 2015, he joined the Metropolitan Police Department and has worked in the accounting department at Tsukishima Police Station in Tokyo, Japan. He was inspired to join the police while in middle school after meeting a police officer. "One day, a police officer began talking with me on my way home after school. I used to have a scary image of the police, but I was impressed by their kind personality and it became a profession that I wanted to be a part of. After my accident, I had desperately continued rehabilitation for two-and-a-half years, as I thought I might be able to pursue my dream again if I could move my body."
