Trainers

Active professional player with BELE.EXE. He took up basketball at nine and left home for high school to spend three years at a Hokkaido powerhouse. At university he played for a dominant Hokkaido team that reached the national tournament every year, and was chosen as captain in his third and fourth years. Playing in a corporate league after graduation, he felt the limits of his physical strength — and awoke to serious training at BELE.

Active professional player and captain of the 3x3 basketball team BELE.EXE. He started basketball in his second year of elementary school; in his final year of high school he finished runner-up at the Kanto tournament and reached the round of 16 at both the Inter-High and the Winter Cup. At university he led his team to promotion into the first division. After graduating he worked at a trading company, then moved to the US on his own for street basketball. He has competed in 3x3 basketball world tournaments, taking the title and MVP in the Premier League’s inaugural 2014 season.

An active Classic Physique competitor — a bodybuilding category that prizes overall beauty and balance. A love of training led him to seek work that helps others; while studying to become a trainer at vocational school he fell ever deeper into training himself, and he still competes today.

He took up kickboxing in high school; at 20 he left his job to work as a trainer while chasing a professional career. He debuted as a pro at 21 and went on to claim two belts, as the 2nd REBELS 55kg champion and the 3rd RISE Featherweight champion. He signed with ONE Championship to fight internationally, then retired after a nine-year professional career. He leads the kickboxing course, offered only at our Tokyo studios.

He became a trainer wanting to be there for someone the way others were for him. A starter on his soccer team in his first year of high school, he suffered an injury that took ten months to heal — and was deeply influenced by the psychotherapist and trainer who cared for him. He now plays for an adult futsal team with his sights on the national tournament.
