Biography: Was born a righthander, but father made him learn to throw lefthanded because southpaw pitchers are rarer than righthanders.

Slugged a total of 21 homers during his university career to set a Fukuoka Big Six University League record. Drafted on the third round (1996).

Suffered a back injury in May, 2009 and taht and his ineffectiveness at the plate saw him spend the rest of the season in the minors. 1000th hit (5/1/2005 against Lotte at Fukuoka Dome in the seventh inning off of Shunsuke Watanabe, a single to right). 1000th game (4/22/2006 against Orix at Osaka Dome in a start in rightfield).
