Body research｜Circus｜Dance｜Contortion｜Handstand｜Juggling
During his elementary school years, he spent nights practicing quadrupedal movement. From the age of 20, he began independently studying juggling, flexibility, and movement, cultivating his own techniques and philosophy. He works beyond the boundaries of dance and circus, and has performed and taught in more than 30 countries.
Since 2023, he has organized Japan’s first handstand festival, the Hallucigenia Handstand Festival, attracting over 100 participants for two consecutive years. He is also actively promoting an “upside-down culture” by establishing training communities across Japan.
In 2025, he won two gold medals and two silver medals at the Asian Yogasana Championship held in India.
