Born in Sapporo in 1972, after graduating from the Faculty of Law at Nihon University, he worked at an advertising agency and as an editor for the local information magazine "O. tone" before going independent. He unravels the history of Sapporo from old maps and old photographs, and disseminates information through magazine serials, YouTube, television and radio programs, and lectures. In 2015, he served as a guide for NHK's "Buratamori". His books include the "Walking the Sapporo Area with Old Maps" series (Ataru Publishing / 2020-). A commemorative lecture is scheduled for November 7, 2024 at the Hokkaido Convention of the National Junior High School Social Studies Education Research Association (Hotel Lifert).
