He was hailed as a prodigy in the track and field world since elementary school, but he closed his heart due to excessive expectations and pressure from those around him. He won the national championship in high school and was treated as the top of his generation, but in his senior year, he suffered a right hamstring strain, and he hasn't been able to run as he wants or is haunted by the fear of recurrence. Now a university student, he continues to compete, but his records have declined since high school. (He is sometimes evaluated as having "fallen off.") He has a habit of stretching his right leg for a long time. He chose a university that is not a powerhouse for track and field. However, he hasn't come to hate track and field; he still has a desire to run fast.
