A right-handed pitcher with a maximum speed of 152 km/h whose talent blossomed rapidly after moving from Ayaha in Shiga to Bukkyo University. After being drafted, while researching the team, he revealed his findings, saying with a laugh, 'I noticed that many people say Orix Buffaloes with an extra syllable. I realized once again that there are instances where people mistake the spelling of The Buffaloes.'

"I hold within myself the desire to aim higher every day. I want to climb step by step without ever missing a day of practice," he declared. Furthermore, he appealed once again, saying, "It's The Buffaloes!"
