Climbing

​

 He started climbing at the age of 12, and four years later he began his international career by winning theWorld Youth Championship in Youth A category.In 2012 and 2013, he won the World Cup lead event overall, becoming the first Japanese to win the overall title two years in a row.
In 2015, he retired from competition and shifted his base of activities to rock climbing.In the same year, he became the first Japanese to complete the 5.15b "Fight or Flight," one of Spain's most famous routes, which had only been climbed by three world-class climbers at the time. This feat is still the hardest in Japan as of 2024. He succeeded in the second ascent of "Tinipi" 5.15a, located at an altitude of around 4000m on Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia, and quickly expanded his field of activities.
After that, he devoted himself to develop his own routes. In 2018, he made the first ascent of "Soul Mate," Japan's first 5.15b route, in Okutama, Tokyo.In 2022, he made the first ground-up ascent of "The Last One" 5.14b R on O-Yasuri peak in Mt. Mizugaki. He became an all-around climber recognized both in name and reality.
Currently, he concentrates on pioneering activities mainly in the Kanto area and Shodoshima Island, Kagawa Prefecture, and continues to search for the miracle lines that may still be lying dormant somewhere.
