\- Skier \- 8th in Men's Freeride Skiing Japan \- Residence: Hokkaido \- English level: Basic

I'm born and raised in Hokkaido, so I've skied all my life, ever since I was a child. As a teenager, I joined a highschool that specialised in training skiers and ski insructors. Right after graduation, I got into freestyle skiing (what is called slopestyle now) and competed in numerous competitions.

After that, I gravitated towards the world of powder skiing and moved my skiing career to backcountry skiing. I've been competing in the Freeride World Qualifiers in Hakuba from the first year.

I welcome any skiers who just love to ski!!
