Born in 1956 in Mie Prefecture. Graduated from Seijo University and joined Toba Aquarium, where he served as a seal trainer, then Planning Department Manager, and later Deputy Director.

Through innovative exhibitions that turn weaknesses into strengths and unique marketing strategies, he has led facilities such as 'Enoshima Aquarium', 'Sunshine Aquarium', and 'Hokkaido Museum of Northern Nature' to miraculous increases in attendance. He continues to develop cutting-edge exhibitions for numerous aquariums both in Japan and abroad. He serves as Honorary Principal of Jikei Gakuen COM Group and lectures on museum exhibition theory at Kitasato University's curator program.
