After finishing high school, he joined the training program of Tatsunoko Production, where he began his career as an animator.

He later left Tatsunoko and worked mainly with Madhouse, contributing animation to many of the studio's productions. From the 1990s onward he expanded into storyboarding and direction. His directorial debut came in 2003 with Texhnolyze, followed by directing or supervising roles on Paranoia Agent, BECK, Shigurui, Steins;Gate, Terra Formars, Orange, and Blade of the Immortal.
