    Received awards in domestic and international competitions, including the Tokyo International Guitar Competition and the Asia International Guitar Competition.

    In 2011, released the DVD "Recollections" in Korea. CDs released by Art Infinie include "Prayer" (2013), the jazz-classical collection "Luxe" (2015), the all-Bach album "The BACH" (2017), and the Spanish works collection "The Spain" (2019), all of which received "Special Selection" ratings from Record Geijutsu magazine. Among these, the album "Luxe," which focuses on contemporary composer-guitarists, was praised by music critic Jiro Hamada as "the supreme achievement among guitar albums." In 2020, performed the two major guitar concertos, "Concierto de Aranjuez" and "Fantasia para un gentilhombre," with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Toshiaki Umeda at Suntory Hall, releasing a live album in the autumn (recommended by Asahi Shimbun). The release of live recordings of these two major guitar concertos is said to be a rare endeavor worldwide. He has been invited to perform concerts in various countries including Europe, Russia, Asia, and South America. Notably, a collaborative performance was held at the historic Ateneo Hall in Madrid with Living National Treasure Tsuruga Wakasanojo, the 11th head of the Tsuruga school, and his troupe, Japanese dancer Takahi Hanayagi, and Hachioji Kuruma Ningyo "Nishikawa Koryu-za," where the collaboration of Japanese and Spanish traditional arts garnered significant acclaim. He also serves as a judge for the youth division at the José Tomás International Guitar Competition, which is said to be the largest in Spain. In the autumn of 2022, he successfully completed an East Coast US tour. Ensemble activities are also active; a baroque ensemble concert held at Suntory Hall Blue Rose in 2018 was acclaimed as "a new frontier for guitar chamber music." In 2022, he formed "Duo Passione" with violinist Eriko Iso and released their first album "Gracia." With soprano Izumi Okuwaki, in a unit that transcends genres from early music to folk songs and pop, they have pioneered a unique repertoire, pursuing "comfortable music."

    As Vice President of the Japan-Spain Guitar Association, he strives daily to contribute to the popularization of guitar music and the development of the guitar world. He also dedicates efforts to guiding and nurturing younger generations at Showa University of Music and his own music school.
