I was born in Kobe,Japan.
From an early age I was inspired in art by my grandfather,a sculptor, and developed an intense interest in painting, particularly portraits.

Right hand;Nikon F4 + 200mmF4D + TC-201+PK13,PK12,PK12 (3:1 super micro weapon called " Bazooka") with two SB-26 strobe by using JUNNON housings.
Left hand; Cannon EOS kiss + 100mmF2.8
I usually bring two cameras.

I started photography at the age of 17,
and at 27 I started underwater photography

In my profession facial expressions play an important role, and my interest in it extended underwater.

I married at 27.My wife is a PADI Dive Master too.

We can see many beautiful fishes at the house reef of Vadoo diving paradise, South Male Atoll.
This island is a paradise for goby freak divers!
I've been there four times!

We love Okinawa Island and enjoy beach diving here.
Fortunately,there are many super goby freak divers on Okinawa because we can discover many unknown species.
