After graduating from an international high school in Tokyo, Japan, Chris spent his college life in California, USA. After returning to Japan, he worked as a video producer for an advertising company. Taking advantage of doing narration in his own videos, he decided to pursue doing voice-overs professionally, making the most of his appealing voice and bilingual ability. With the chance to work as a DJ on an FM radio program, he made a brilliant debut with his pleasant talk and wealth of music knowledge. In October 1988, when J-WAVE was established, he was selected as a main personality. Since then, Chris has been playing an active role in entertainment, not only as a DJ, but as a narrator, TV personality, anchor, and actor.
