Born in August, 1976 in Nagano.
He started to play the piano at the age of 4 and played the clarinet in a junior-high school brass band; he grew up with music. His father gave an acoustic guitar when he was 10. He was able to pick up the notes with his ears and started to copy various kinds of music and often had sessions with musicians. After he played street performances and gigs in music clubs, it was natural decision for him to start his career as a professional guitarist in mid-teens.

He respects and was inspired by some great Jazz musicians such as Miles Davis and Wes Montgomery, but he played not only Jazz music, but also African music, funk, and Brazilian music. His collaboration with various and different genre of musicians creates something interesting.

In March 07, the first album titled “Afica” was released from Mogle.
