Originally from China, he discovered his passion for the mountains through his university's hiking club. This love for nature led him to gain extensive experience climbing and exploring the peaks of South and North America. Upon returning to Japan, he was driven by a clear goal: to become a mountain guide and share the distinct beauty of Japan’s landscapes with others.
