He started his activities as a member of Kansai Johnny's Jr. At that time, he was living in Nagoya and was asked by the agency whether he would join Tokyo-based Johnny's Jr. or Kansai-based Johnny's Jr. He chose Kansai Johnny's Jr. because he wanted to improve his dance skills before he appear in public.

It was later announced that the unit will continue and from 2016 onwards he continued as a member of Mr. King. In 2016, at the age of 19, he became the youngest chairperson of the Hakata-za in Fukuoka by starring in “Johnny’s Future World from Teigeki to Hakata."
In 2018, he starred in the films “Honey” and "You, I Love”. In April of the same year, he also made his first appearance in a serial drama as Haruto Kaguragi in the TBS drama “Boys Over Flowers Season 2”. He made his CD debut on May 23 under Universal Music Japan as King & Prince with the theme song "Cinderella Girl.”
