He knows winter roads of Hokkaido better than anyone.
He was well known as timetrialist when he was high school student. He won several time trials and podium of road races in nation-wide high school levels thanks to the winter training. And he held several course records of races in Hokkaido and one of them is still unbeaten. He is also known as good racer in bad weather conditions. He often attacks in descents of zero visibility condition and torrential rain condition. He says he is confident of controlling bikes in bad meteorological conditions thanks to the winter training. He was sent by one of the best teams in Japan: Nippon-Hodo (current Nippo) to an Italian team as a rider in 1997. However, he retired from the bicycle races because of knee problem. Currently he rarely rides bikes. He works as doctor (physician) and also medical interpreter (French, English, Italian - Japanese) in Hokkaido. You might sometimes see him in international bike races as a race doctor or interpreter. His website: terminologie médicale japonaise avec les traductions françaises.
