About Minori:
Minori is a skateboarder and aircraft engineer from Fukuoka, Japan. By day, he works on fixing planes; by night, he’s often found at the skatepark, connecting with friends and living out his faith on four wheels.
Skateboarding has been part of Minori’s life for over a decade — not just as a sport, but as a way God has shaped his story. Loved and carried by God even before he believed, Minori encountered Jesus through a community where he felt safe to be his real self. That experience of unconditional love set him free and gave him a deep desire to serve others.
Today, Minori’s calling is to create spaces where people can be heard, seen, and embraced as they truly are. Through skateboarding, he builds relationships, shares life, and reflects God’s light in everyday places — proving that faith and purpose can move quietly through both the streets and the skies.
