His real name is Hiroki Junichi, residing in Atsugi City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Born in Showa 23 in Fukuoka Prefecture. He received instruction in smithing from his father, and later in Showa 39, he became a monjin of the late Sumitani Masamine, who was a Juyo Mukei Bunkazai (Ningen Kokuho). He consistently devoted himself to works in Bizen-den suguba, and after receiving numerous awards, he became a Mukansa tosho in Heisei 8 (1996). *What is Mukansa? This is a certification by the Nihon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai granted to those who have won any of the special prizes at least eight times in the new sword exhibitions sponsored by the association, or those who have won special prizes at least six times, including the Takamatsunomiya Sho at least twice. The association certifies this, and it is required that the individual excels in both character and skill. Normally, "Juyo Mukei Bunkazai Hojisha" (Ningen Kokuho) are recommended from among these Mukansa tosho.
