***Nobukazu Kuriki***
Birthday: 9, Jun 1982
Heght : 162cm (5.3feet)
Weight: 60kg
Place of Birth: Imakane-Cho, Hokkaido, Japan

Born in 1982.

After completing his study at high school, he had no specific dream or goal and went to Tokyo, just hankering after city life and eventually broke down. He worked there for a year as a part-time worker..
Then he went back to Hokkaido to enter university and joined the mountain climbing club by chance.

In June 2004 (at age 22) after two years since he started moutain climbing, he succeeded in reaching the summit of Mount McInley, the hightest peak in North America, alone in his first trip overseas.

Since he succeeded in reaching the summit of "Aconcagua" (Polish Gracier), the highest summit in South America, alone again, he strengthened his thought of wanting to feel the earth more and more and have conquered the summits in six continents out of seven.

Since 2007, Kuriki started to challenge the Himalayan summits with over 8,000m height and conquered "Cho Oyu", the sixth highest in the world, alone and without oxygen in May 2007 in his first challenge. He started broadcasting his trailer in order to share his adventures with audience.

In October 2008, he succeeded in reaching the summit of "Manaslu", the 8th highest in the world, alone and without oxygen and also suceeded in skiing downhill from the summit. It was never done by any other Japanese before him.

In May 2009, he conquered the world’s seventh highest summit, "Dhaulagiri" (8,167m), alone and without oxygen and broadcasted his challenge live through internet.

Currently, Kuriki is preparing for his challenge scheduled in Arpil 2010 for skiing downhill from the summit of "Annapurna"(8,091m) and for his second challenge via the Great Couloir Route to conquer "Everest" (8,848m), alone and without oxygen, while delivering his lectures at events sponsored by various companies. There is no Japanese who has succeeded in reaching the summit of Everest alone and without oxygen. Braodcasiting his challenge thorough internet is being planned!

Motto: “Feel gratitude for everything”
Mission: “Challenge the adventures that move other people and give them a courage to make a further step forward.
