He began running in grade six of primary school to lose weight and competed in able-bodied marathon. He was encouraged to get involved in Para athletics by his boss at the Niigata Prefecture Persons with Disabilities Exchange Centre. "I was thinking of retiring from marathon as I wanted to focus on my new job. Although I'm a person with an impairment, I never imagined that I would get involved in Para sports before I got a job at a community centre for the disabled. I was encouraged by a lot of people."
