Born in Niigata Prefecture in 1974. As a boy, my dream was to become a poet. At the age of 15, while in my first year of high school, I began to suffer from severe daytime sleepiness, but in order to fulfill my dream, I decided to start my life over from scratch and moved to Tokyo at the age of 19. Despite continuing to pursue my dream, I was unable to work by the time I turned 30. I supported myself with disability benefits and welfare. In November 2005, at the age of 31, I met friends who understood me at a facility introduced to me by a home care worker and learned about peer support activities. In 2006, at the age of 32, I learned about WRAP and peer support at the facility I was attending, and in March 2007, I participated in a training program at the Copeland Center (USA). I began activities as a WRAP facilitator. In 2011, at the age of 37, I started working as a staff member at a community activity support center and returned the welfare benefits I had been receiving for approximately seven years. I began supporting myself as a peer supporter. In 2013, I also began activities as an Advanced Level WRAP Facilitator (certified by the Copeland Center in the U.S.). In March 2019, at the age of 45, I resigned from the nonprofit organization where I was employed. He became a freelancer and moved to the United States in August to study WRAP again. Since 2025, he has been learning WRAP through the AHP and is currently engaged in activities to share "WRAP as an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)."
