He joined Fuji Television in 1962. Since joining the company, he has been actively involved in programming and production. During his time as a production manager, he faced challenges, with some of the dramas he worked on not performing well and even facing cancellations.

By June 2001, he assumed the role of president at Fuji Television. During his tenure as president, there were incidents such as the Livedoor scandal and the data fabrication issue with Kansai Television's production of "Hakken! Aru Aru Daijiten 2". He stepped down to an advisory role in June 2007.
From September 2009, he served as a board member at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies.
