Personal life

Born in Brazil, both his parents have Japanese heritage. They moved to the U.S. when he was a baby. He now lives in Coconut Creek, Florida. He has trained under Brian Baker at the national campus in Florida. [2]

Career

He was given his ATP tour debut as a wildcard at the 2021 US Open in the mixed doubles alongside Elvina Kalieva. [3]

As the top seed, he won the 2022 Australian Open in Boys singles defeating Czech Jakub Menšík. He also won the doubles event partnering Hong Kong player Coleman Wong. At 17 years old he became the fourth player from the US in the Open Era to claim the junior singles title, following in the footsteps of Andy Roddick, Donald Young and Sebastian Korda. He was also the first player since Czech Jiří Veselý in 2011 to sweep the singles and doubles events. [4]
