Although his parents were not experienced in the sport, his father, Nobuhiro, studied badminton and built a homemade practice court to support his son's development.[9]
In 2007, Momota won the All Japan Elementary School Badminton Championship. This national victory prompted him to seek more advanced training, leading to a move toFukushima Prefecture to attend Tomioka Daiichi Junior High School, an institution known for its strong badminton program. While there, he continued to excel, winning the National Junior High School Badminton Tournament in August 2009. Momota also became the first junior high student to reach the semifinals of the All Japan Junior Championships, a tournament that included high school players.[10][9]

He extended his head-to-head record over Axelsen to 14–1.[32] After winning the Malaysia Masters, Momota was involved in a serious highway accident while en route to the airport; the driver of the vehicle was killed. He was initially reported to have suffered a broken nose and injuries to his lips and face.[33] However, the Nippon Badminton Association later confirmed that he did not sustain any bone fractures.[34]
In January, Momota tested positive forCOVID-19 prior to travelling to Bangkok.

At theMalaysia Open, Momota made it through to his first final since winning the2021 Indonesia Masters Super 750 event in November. He received 2 walkovers: one againstKantaphon Wangcharoen and another when his opponent,Shesar Hiren Rhustavito, retired mid-match due to injury. In the final, Momota was beaten quickly by Olympic championViktor Axelsen, losing 4–21, 7–21 in just 34 minutes.[47] After the match, Momota told reporters that Axelsen's "level" was higher than he expected, and that despite the loss, he was "very happy to be back here after all the difficult times" he had been through, adding that he "might be getting closer to the answer" he was looking for.[48][49]
