University of Tokyo.
Born in Tokyo, he was a southpaw pitcher for the First Higher School of Japan (Ikkō). He was famous for his hard training which enabled Ikkō to defeat the Yokohama Country and Athletic Club (YCAC), the strongest team in Japan baseball during the late 1800s, after first losing to them. He later studied medicine at Tokyo Imperial University and became a military doctor, but died when he was infected by the infectious disease he was studying.
He was inducted into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966.
