Then he played for and was educated at Yokosuka High School and Tokai University. At the university, he contribute to the Japan team winning the 1995 Summer Universiade held in Fukuoka. After the graduation, he nearly signed with Yokohama Marinos but the club pulled out when a problem was found in his neck at the medical check.

He immediately became a regular starter and contributed to the club winning the J2 Championship.
