He comes from a racing family; most notably his uncle Masato Shibata [ja], who was a prolific jockey who won over 4,000 races during his career. He rode his first winner in 1985, on Izumi-Sanei at Nakayama. He was Japanese champion apprentice in 1985. He won his first grade race in 1988, riding Soushin-Houju in the Nakayama Himba Stakes.[1]
He earned his 2000th career victory at Nakayama while riding Nakayama Knight, on 17 December 2011.[2][3]
On November 5, 2022, Shibata became the oldest JRA jockey to win a race after he winning a race at the Fukushima Race Course while riding Billecart, a record he would break 2 weeks later at the Fukushima Min'yu Cup with Verdad Imeru.[4] That same year Shibata was awarded the Medal with Yellow Ribbon, becoming the first active JRA jockey to win a Medal.[5][6]
