Hayato started his career as a professional dancer in Japan. In 2007, he went with a contemporary dance company from his home country on tour to Germany, Spain and Hungary. He met a Japanese dancer who was working in Germany. Inspired by his story, four years later, Hayato decided to take a similar step. He has been based in Germany and worked in Europe since then.
