Born in Tokyo and having a great passion for animals, surrounded by birds and aquarium fish.

At an early age, I became interested in purebred dogs and started to enjoy photos and reports of shows abroad in specialized magazines. I was interested in Doberman, German Shepherd, and Rough Collie at that time. When I was able to own my own dog, a Sheltie, that experience was the key which brought me into the canine world.

I was first acquainted with Giant Schnauzers in 1989 in Mexico and have kept showing and breeding them for 35 years.
