Since his first performance with an orchestra at the age of 10, continues performing with orchestras including the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra. Appears in solo recitals and salon concerts at various venues in Tokyo and Kanagawa as well.

Repertoire
Among numerous pieces from Baroque to contemporary on which I have worked, I am especially familiar with classical pieces including Mozart and music written by French composers such as Debussy, Ravel, and Saint-Saëns. Regarding chamber music, although my main style is a quartet, I am actively challenging with various forms ranging from duo to octet.
