Career
In 1997, he graduated from Tenri University and signed a contract with Osaka Gamba Club. The first years did not fall into the team, giving way to the goal, first Hayato Okanake , and then - Rete Tsuzuki . Positive changes occurred in the middle of the 2002 season, when he finally managed to win a place in the starting lineup of Gamba. In August 2005, in the semifinal of the League Cup against Sereso Osaka , he was seriously injured and lost his place in the squad. From that moment on, the main goalkeeper of Gamba was Yosuke Fujigaya , whom he replaced when he was injured, as well as in less significant cup matches. He confidently played the entire match in the 2009 Emperor Cup final against the Nagoya Grampus club, which ended in a victory for Gamba with a score of 4-1 [1] . Shortly after the finals, he announced the end of his professional career.
