Additional Information

General
LIVING ABROAD
He moved from Japan to Switzerland in 2012 to train under coach Thomas Allier at the UCI World Cycling Centre in Aigle, Switzerland. In 2016 he also spent time living in California, United States of America, before returning to Switzerland. (Instagram profile, 02 Mar 2020; fatbmx, 22 Jan 2015; 15, 15 Mar 2016; uci, 10 Apr 2017; sanyonews, 10 Feb 2020)

TRACK CYCLING
He took up track cycling in 2016 to increase his strength for BMX racing, which remained his focus ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "I started track cycling when I was based at the UCI World Cycling Centre. We trained sometimes on the velodrome. The people are different, the bike is different. It's good for me to change sometimes." (uci, 10 Apr 2017; cyclingnews, 12 Apr 2017; morecadence, 17 Dec 2017)
