This native of San Jose, California (home to the Bay 101 Casino and the WPT Shooting Stars tournament) has four WSOP cashes under his belt, including an in-the-money finish in the 2005 main event (won by Team PokerStars Pro Joe Hachem) and a final table (fourth) in the $2000 H.O.R.S.E. tournament two years earlier.
The 40-year-old father of four, whose family heritage dates back to Japan several generations ago, formerly worked in the real estate industry before turning his focus to a new form of investment: professional poker. A cash-game specialist, his most recent win came on home soil at the Bay 101 in the $300 Omaha Hi/Lo Split event at the 2006 Bay 101 Open. He arrives at the final table of the $15,000 APPT Macau High Roller Event as the short stack.
