Consistency in Japan
komorikiri is notable for always placing within top 8 at Japanese tournaments while using Sonic, seemingly always running into (and losing to) Ranai whenever they both enter the same tournament. He is partially responsible for Ranai's fame after being double eliminated at KSB 2015. komorikiri would eventually form a static team with Ranai, using Sonic-Villager. He would eventually put his name on the board placing 2nd during Umebura F.A.T., where he was notably undefeated. He took games off of, , , , and before finally being double eliminated by Nairo.

Cloud's Advent
komorikiri quickly picked up Cloud after he was released and made his international debut at Genesis 3, winning doubles with Ranai, with Cloud-Villager, notably coming on top of a 2v1 against Nairo and ZeRo. He received 17th, losing to Mr.R and Marss. He then received a ranking of 11th on the first version of Panda Global rankings, as a reward for his placings at Genesis 3 and Umebura FAT. Back in Japan, although he now won more tournaments, his placings became more volatile. komorikiri would then be sponsored briefly by Naifu (a crowdfund hosted by Nairo) to enter EVO 2016, unfortunately receiving 17th losing to Dabuz and ZeRo.

Proving Potential
komorikiri won Sumabato for THE BIG HOUSE over Taiheita, Shuton and Choco, winning a trip to The Big House 6. At Umebura S.A.T., he lost to Mr R and was upset by Shuton, finishing uncharacteristically at 13th along with fellow smashers Ranai and Abadango. He would then be flown out along with Abadango to 2GGT: Abadango Saga where he won doubles with ZeRo and took 5th, defeating Ally. komorikiri then took 3rd at The Big House 6, defeating previous demons such as Mr R and Nairo, utilising both Sonic and Cloud. Shortly after announcing a 1-year break from school, he was picked up by 2GGaming and continues to place consistently both overseas and at home.
