Over the course of his career, he has worked across film, television, V‑Cinema, and theatre, establishing himself as a versatile supporting performer. His physical presence — he stands 184 cm tall — together with his training in karate, sword fighting, Japanese dance, horse riding, skiing, skating, and his command of the Akita dialect, has shaped the types of roles he often portrays, frequently characters with a strong or rugged profile. He is represented by the agency Ebisu Daikokusha.
