After entering university, he was selected as one of the "BEST 30" at the 31st Junon Superboy Contest [ja], but was rejected in the subsequent screening and initially gave up on his dream of becoming an actor.[7][8][9] He later joined the university's ballroom dance club, but the club activities were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was during that time that he thought about his future; he later decided to look for an agency to fulfill his dream of becoming an actor.[7][9][10]
