In the finals, he won a silver medal in the men’s team event, and gold medals in both the men’s individual all-around and the horizontal bar.
At the 2022 All-Japan Individual All-Around Championships, he secured back-to-back titles with a dominant performance, winning by a margin of three points, and went on to win the NHK Cup as well. At the 2022 World Championships in Liverpool, he captured the individual all-around gold medal, establishing himself as the undisputed world champion.
At the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, although he was unable to defend his individual all-around title, he contributed to Japan’s gold medal victory in the team event.
