He also earned medals with the Japanese national team, securing a silver at the 2018 Thomas Cup and bronze medals at the 2018 and 2022 Asian Games. After retiring from professional competition in August 2024, Tsuneyama was appointed coach of the Hokuto Bank women's badminton team, beginning with the 2025 season.[4]
Early career
Tsuneyama began playing badminton at the age of six, influenced by his parents, who were former corporate badminton players in Japan.[5] He attended Kusatsu Elementary School and Kusatsu Junior High School. While in junior high school, he placed in the top four at the 2011 All Japan Junior High School Championships.
He later attended Higashi Osaka University Kashiwara High School, known for its badminton program.[6] While in high school, Tsuneyama secured several national titles: singles at the 2013 Inter-High School Championships and the 2014 National High School Invitational Badminton Championships; doubles at the 2014 Inter-High School Championships; and both singles and doubles at the 2013 All Japan Junior Badminton Championships.[7]
In 2014, Tsuneyama achieved success on the international junior circuit. At the Asian Junior Championships in Taipei, Taiwan, he won medals in three events: a silver medal in the boys' singles (defeating Anthony Sinisuka Ginting in the quarterfinals before losing to Shi Yuqi in the final),[8][9][10] a bronze medal in the boys' doubles (partnering Hashiru Shimono),[11][12] and a bronze medal as part of the Japanese mixed team.[13][14] In the same year, he competed in the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China. He won a silver medal in mixed doubles partnering Lee Chia-hsin of Chinese Taipei (competing under the Mixed-NOCs banner) and reached the quarterfinals in the boys' singles, losing to Ginting.[15][16][17] He also helped Japan win a bronze medal in the mixed team event at the World Junior Championships in Alor Setar, Malaysia.[18]
While still a high school student, Tsuneyama competed against senior players at the All Japan Badminton Championships, reaching the quarterfinals in 2013 and the semifinals in 2014.[19] After graduating from high school in 2015, he joined the Tonami Transportation badminton team, citing his ambition to compete in the Olympics as his motivation.[20]

In 2018, Tsuneyama won his first BWF World Tour title at the Thailand Open, defeating Tommy Sugiarto in the final.[28] He was the first Japanese men's singles player to win the title in the tournament's 34-year history.[29] At the World Championships in Nanjing, Tsuneyama reached the quarterfinals for the first time. His run included a victory over the 12th seed, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, before he was eliminated by Liew Daren of Malaysia.[30][31][32]
In team competitions that year, Tsuneyama was a key member of the Japanese team that won the silver medal at the Thomas Cup in Bangkok.[33] During the semifinal against defending champion Denmark, with the tie at 2–2, he won the decisive fifth match against Jan Ø. Jørgensen to secure a 3–2 victory and advance the team to the final.[34][35] Later, he was part of the team that won a bronze medal at the Asian Games in Jakarta.[36]
2019: Korea Masters win, top 10 ranking
Tsuneyama won his second World Tour title at the Korea Masters. Entering the tournament unseeded, his path to the final included a victory over sixth seed Srikanth Kidambi, before he defeated two-time Olympic champion Lin Dan 24–22, 21–12 in the final.[37][38] Earlier that year at the Japan Open, he upset reigning Olympic champion Chen Long 21–14, 21–17 in the first round.[39] He reached a career-high world ranking of No. 10 as of 26 November 2019.
In team competition, Tsuneyama was part of the Japanese squad that finished as runner-up at the Asian Mixed Team Championships.[40] Individually, he reached the third round at the World Championships in Basel, where he was defeated by Denmark's Anders Antonsen, the eventual runner-up.[41] Tsuneyama concluded the year by reaching the semi-finals of the All Japan Badminton Championships, where he lost to Kenta Nishimoto, securing a bronze medal for the third consecutive year.[42]
2020–2021: Olympic debut, French Open title
In early 2020, Tsuneyama was a member of the Japanese team that won the bronze medal at the 2020 Badminton Asia Team Championships in Manila.[43] Later that year, he finished as the runner-up at the All Japan Badminton Championships, losing to Kento Momota in the final.[44]
Tsuneyama made his Olympic debut at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, held in 2021. In the men's singles event, he advanced from his group stage by defeating Julien Paul of Mauritius and Ygor Coelho of Brazil. He was subsequently eliminated in the round of 16 by Indonesia's Anthony Sinisuka Ginting.[45][46][47]
In team competitions later in 2021, Tsuneyama contributed to Japan winning a silver medal at the 2021 Sudirman Cup in Vantaa and a bronze medal at the 2020 Thomas Cup in Aarhus.[48][49] In October, Tsuneyama won his first Super 750 title at the 2021 French Open, defeating Chou Tien-chen of Chinese Taipei in the final.[50] He advanced to the final after his compatriot, Kento Momota, retired from their semifinal match due to injury.[51]
