Biography: Batted cleanup on his industrial league team, takking them to a nationwide corporate league title. Drafted on the fourth round (1995). Mostly used as a defensive fill in at first and third, but with the development of the equally versatile Masahiko Morino and the signing of Norihiro Nakamura plus a weak bat, he became expendable and was released.
