【Profile】
Attracted to Black culture from the late 1980s, he awakened to street dance through New Jack Swing.
Around 1992, he formed "PINOCCHIO" and achieved numerous awards, including first place, in various contests across Japan.
Currently, as a member of "ALMA," one of Japan's leading house dance teams, he is actively invited for guest shows and workshops not only in Japan but also overseas.
In 2008, he won the "JUST DEBOUT," a world street dance battle competition held in France, effectively securing a world title.
In the same year, he also won the "JAPAN DANCE DELIGHT," a globally renowned street dance contest.
In 2012, he won the CIRCLE UNDER GROUND dance battle held in France.
He continued to show his strength in global battles and contests by winning CIRCLE UNDER GROUND again in 2016, OCEAN BATTLE SESSION in Taiwan in 2017, and DANCE@LIVE, Japan's largest dance battle, in 2018.

While his genre is House, his freestyle expression, which is always original and not confined by the boundaries of that style, continues to gain immense support not only from dancers worldwide but also from artists of various genres.
He is currently involved in choreography, direction, and supporting dancer roles for artists in the mainstream scene, earning high trust from them.
In the underground scene, he performs various shows around the world and has a reputation as one of the most active dancers in Japan, creating over 100 works annually.
