Animator with strong ties to Studio Bind.

Graduated from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Science at Ibaraki University's Volcano Research Laboratory. While researching volcanoes at university, he admired the work of Yutaka Nakamura and began creating animated GIFs at his rented home and uploading them online. He was later discovered by Hokuto Sadamoto and officially debuted as a key animator on the anime Rifle Is Beautiful.

He has close ties with Shingo Fuji, working as a main animator on every project Fuji directs, and is strongly influenced by Ryou Imamura, with whom he still maintains a close relationship today. He is also a close friend of Masaho Hori.
