He graduated from Tosa Junior High School and High School, and later from the Faculty of Law and Political Science at Chuo University.

In April 1983, he joined Shinchosha and was assigned to the Weekly Shincho magazine. He unearthed the memoirs of the victims' families in the Kobe Serial Child Murder Case. From October 2002, he serialized "Judges Are Strange!" in Weekly Shincho, which was later extensively revised and published as "Judges Destroy Japan" by Shinchosha.
