A graduate of Shiga University, he was elected to the House of Councillors for the first time in 2007 after serving in the assembly of Kyoto Prefecture since 2003.

He is associated with Japanese nationalist groups, such as Ganbare Nihon. Recently, he accused Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda of affiliation with South Korea.
