[citation needed] To start off his drifting activities, he got hold of his first AE86 which was an AE85-spec Corolla Levin, heavily modified and turned into an AE86.

He entered and competed at the Kyushu Ikaten, which was held at Mobility Omuta on March 29, 2000 (he won in the finals against Masao Suenaga).

The 2000-spec AE85 was later repainted cream in mid-2000 with revised changes and he won the 6th All-Japan Ikaten competition at Bihoku Circuit on Sept. 7, 2000.

At the championship round finale, he was ranked 2nd and he was only 18 points behind Youichi Imamura but mechanical issues occurred during the practice sessions.

He was unable to pull through the first round regardless of the quick repairs and it forced him to sit at 3rd overall with Nobushige Kumakubo being ranked 2nd overall.

In 2015, after the event of Formula D Japan, he made a comeback to D1 Street Legal after a 7-year absence which he picked up a sponsorship with Z.S.S.

In 2017, he went back to competing in the main series as D1 Street Legal was halted for the rest of year.

For the final round of the season, he debuted a new S15 that was powered by the Nissan GT-R's engine, the VR38DETT which is bolted to a Holinger sequential transmission that produces 1000ps.

In 2019 he's now supported by new tire manufacturers Valino and got into his first final in Tsukuba on round 2 but lost to Masashi Yokoi due to his car losing a body part.
