From an early age, he learned Ashihara karate from his father and the pioneer of The Ashihara Hideyuki, a teacher of karate.

On April 24th, 1995, the pioneer died of ALS(a motor and nervous system disease), an incurable disease that affects five out of a million people.

At that time, at the age of 18, he became the second director of the Ashihara Kaikan, a new international karate-do federation that spread not only in Japan but also around the world.

He has taken over the will of the former director, and is working hard to further spread and develop Ashihara Karate while spending days teaching this method to apprentices from all over the world.
