Oyama grew up in Higashikurume in the western part of the Tokyo metropolits. As a junior high school student, he was paralyzed in half of his body.[1]
He competed in the 50m, 100m and 400m freestyle at the 2008 Summer Paralympics but it was in the 50m butterfly that he won his only medal, a silver behind Xu Qing of China who broke the world record in winning the race.[2]
