Biography.
“I started riding BMX when I was 5, so I have been riding for 14 years now. I’ve won Japan Championships in ‘97, ‘98, and ‘99 and then started going to race in the US in 2000. At first it was just to race a few times a year, but when I turned 13, I started going to the whole series in the US and spent more time there.
“In 2004, I got my first World Championship title. I’ve continued going to the US and some other country’s to compete. Traveling is one of my favorite parts of BMX racing! Last year, I won the Junior Asian Championship title. I turned Elite men in 2009, and won my first Elite All Japan title. Now that I have graduated school, I have decided to put everything into BMX. My main goal for right now is going to Olympic in 2012!”
