He devoted himself to baseball since elementary school, even becoming a catcher and captain when he was in high school.

When he was in his third year at Daito Bunka University, he won the Grand Prix at the "Mr. Daito Contest 2017".

On May 1, 2019, he made his major debut with the single "Hanasanai Hanasanai" as the first artist of Being Group new enka label Kaikyo Record. Later, at the same year, he won "61st Japan Record Awards" in the "New Artist Awards" category.
