Born in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture. After graduating from Nagano Yoshida High School, I enrolled in the Instrumental Music Department, specializing in trombone, at Kunitachi Music University. After graduating, I worked as a trombone player and arranger. I was a member of big bands such as Mihara Tsunaki and New Breed, and Toyooka Yutaka and Swing Face, and was active in television and radio programs, stages, recording studios, and more. Later, I became a freelancer and worked as a performer, arranger, and composer for television and radio programs, studios, musicals, and more. Perhaps due to the changing times, around the year 2000, I began creating samples using GM sound sources and other computer music in order to have musicians understand the scores created on computers. After a chance encounter, I had the opportunity to create ringtone compositions for mobile phones (mainly using FM sound sources), which oddly enhanced my understanding of synthesizers, leading me to pursue CD sound source production as a profession. Starting around 2002, I began producing ringtone compositions for YAMAHA's "Melodic Lover," "Piano Hearts," avex's "Recochoku," KONAMI's game sounds, and more. Additionally, I started working on dance compilation CD sound source production for avex, For-Side, Victor, and others. Since 2009, I have been involved in numerous sound source productions at Akihabara Workshop Co., Ltd., and have also been involved in CD sound source production for other companies as an individual. Since March 2014, I have been active as a freelance composer, arranger, and sound source producer!
