Born on April 30, 1984, he is originally from Akashi, Hyogo Prefecture, and was raised in Kobe.
A folk singer from Kobe, he sings about the profound and universal meaning of love—family bonds, the wonder of life, and the belief that even the smallest things in our everyday lives are connected to something greater.
Due to his own negligence, he experienced a period of approximately one year living on the streets, including in shopping arcades and public parks. Because of this experience, he has been referred to as a “homeless folk singer.” Drawing on that experience and his remarkable mobility, he continues to perform at live shows and events across Japan.
His own experience of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake also led him to become a guest teacher at elementary, junior high, and high schools upon request. As a “storytelling singer” who combines spoken testimony with live acoustic performances, he gives lectures and educational programs throughout Japan, sharing his experiences and passing on the lessons of the disaster to younger generations.
In 2010, he made his major-label debut with Nippon Crown. In the same year, during his debut month, he was selected as a promising newcomer by Nippon Broadcasting System and attracted considerable attention, being featured by more than 40 media outlets.
In 2018, he successfully held a solo concert at the Osaka Castle Open-Air Music Hall. On December 29, 2019, he expanded the scale of his performance and held a solo concert at Kobe International Hall, drawing an audience of approximately 1,100 people and captivating the crowd.
In 2022, he was selected as the representative of bereaved families for the “1.17 Gathering” commemorating the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. He delivered a speech at Higashi Yuenchi Park in Kobe. His appearance was subsequently featured by dozens of media outlets, including an NHK national documentary, highlighting him as a singer-songwriter dedicated to passing down the memories and lessons of the earthquake.
Since 2023, he has organized the “Kobe Shuyu Festival” in his hometown of Kobe, in cooperation with the City of Kobe. The festival is a city-wide circuit music event featuring stages throughout the city, including the main stage at Ikuta Shrine, as well as venues such as Kobe Hankyu and Sannomiya Platz. In 2026, he successfully held the festival for the fourth consecutive time.
He also serves as an advisor to “KOBE Machinaka Performance,” an official performance program established by the City of Kobe, and has been involved in the development and operation of the program since its inception.
He currently continues his active career throughout Japan, primarily in the Kansai region, as well as in the Chubu and Kanto regions.
