He took up the sport in 2017. He originally played football after watching the 2002 World Cup in Japan and Korea, and also tried Para football, but quit the sport as he was required to play as a goalkeeper as he did not have an impairment to his legs.

He was inspired to compete at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo after watching the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro and got involved in Para taekwondo when the All Japan Taekwondo Association began recruiting athletes, as his impairment was suitable for the sport.
