My Story
I am a film director and producer based in Shizuoka, Japan. I began my career in 1997 when I joined the Tokyo Theater Company, where I gained experience as a stage actor and developed my performance skills. I later worked at a film and media company in Tokyo, where I took on comprehensive directing responsibilities as a director, overseeing a wide range of creative and production processes.
After returning to my hometown of Shizuoka, I founded my own production company, Freeriding Co., Ltd. Since then, I have been creating films and video content rooted in the local community, using film and video to share the unique appeal of Shizuoka.
Since 2008, I have been responsible for video production at the Shizuoka Performing Arts Center (SPAC), a public cultural foundation. My work includes archival recordings of regular performances, promotional videos for the World Theatre Festival, and promotional content for both domestic and international audiences. I also produce a wide range of other video and promotional materials.
