Born February 20, 1956, graduated from Nihon University College of Art in 1978. He started his professional career by participating in “Shigeki Toritsuka & Pancakes” while still in school. In 1977, he made his major debut with “Takashi Kanamori and Rumors”. Since then, he has performed in “Haruo Chikada and Haruo Phone” in 1979, “Yasuhiko Shigemura and Misty Block” in 1980, and “Noriyuki Asakura & Gang” in 1981, before turning to solo.

Productions artists. In recent years, while presiding over his own country-based band “Style O,” he has been immersed in creative activities such as arranging, producing, and composing. My hobby is traveling. I love Bali, where the food is delicious and the music is interesting, so I go there almost every year. Favorite bassist is definitely Paul McCartney. Other than that, I like “noisy” players like Jack Bruce and John Entwistle.
