He became a regular goalkeeper in April 2004. However he lost his position behind newcomer Shusaku Nishikawa in May.[2] In 2006, he moved to the J1 club Omiya Ardija. He became a regular goalkeeper in place of Hiroki Aratani in June 2007[3] and played all 34 matches in 2008 and 2009. However he lost his position to Takashi Kitano in 2010 and he did not play again until 2014. In 2015, he moved to the newly demoted J3 League club, Kataller Toyama.
