●Please tell us your honest thoughts about your partnership with ZINUS.

I am extremely honored to be partnering with your global company, which has operations in 20 countries and continues to compete on the world stage. I also aim to be active on the world stage in the future , and I will do my best to become a player who can compete and succeed all over the world, just like your company!

●Why were you interested in ZINUS?

When competing in the intense contact sport of mixed martial arts, I place great importance on effectively relieving fatigue . I was looking for a mattress that I could use at home, at the match venue, or anywhere else, and when I came across your company , which offers a wide variety of mattresses in various firmness and thickness, I immediately contacted them.

●How important do you think sleep and recovery are to your training?

Neglecting recovery and sleep will not only affect your condition during matches and training, but will also have a major impact on your mental state, so I believe these are the most important factors in training and winning matches .

●Is there anything you do to ensure you get good quality sleep?

I'm usually a night owl and often have trouble falling asleep, so I try to avoid caffeine as much as possible and instead take supplements that help me fall into a deep sleep .

●Do you have any particular preferences regarding your sleeping environment or the bedding you use?

When it comes to bedding , I like memory foam pillows and mattresses . They sink in and feel like they conform to my body no matter what position I'm in, allowing me to sleep soundly.


●Please tell us about your future goals and motivations in martial arts.

I will definitely become the first RIZIN flyweight champion and become the main character of RIZIN! One day, I will represent Japan and fight against the world and reach the top, so please support me!


●Please give a message to your fans.

Thank you for your constant support! I will change the era of MMA in Japan, so please believe in me and follow me!
