A resident of Ibaraki Prefecture, he began his career as founding member and lead vocalist of the band "WHY" in 1981 before making his solo debut in 1984, singing the opening theme for the "Super Sentai" Tokusatsu television series Choudenshi Bioman.

In the 1980s and 1990s, he would soon go on to be well-known for a wide selection of Tokusatsu music; notably a great number of insert themes contributed to Super Sentai series such as the opening for Choudenshi Bioman, as well as the opening and closing themes for Kamen Rider BLACK RX and opening themes for the "Metal Hero" series Tokkei Winspector, Tokyuu Shirei Solbrain, and Tokusou Exceedraft.

He has a close friendship with fellow Metal Hero theme song vocalist Akira Kushida.
