He took up the sport in 2006 in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. (sanspo.com, 26 Sep 2019)

He watched a wheelchair rugby training session and was fascinated by how aggressive it was. "Once while I was in hospital, my physiotherapist wrote an apology letter after I fell out of my wheelchair. At that time I felt that I should have been more cautious. However, when I watched wheelchair rugby for the first time it was shocking to see that they fell over a lot and made fun of one another."
