In 1926, after joining the Ashiya Film Factory and the Union Film Artists Association due to the internal conflict of Teikoku Kinema, he joined the front-line film association of director Furumi Takuji in the same year and appeared in "Kowashiki Kaigo". After the 1927 movement, he joined Ichikawa Utaemon Productions Ayameike Studio and was active as one of the main members.
