I began playing badminton when I was in 2nd Grade of elementary school. After an accident in high school I became wheelchair-bound and could no longer compete, but after seeing para badminton at the National Sports Festival of Japan in Tokyo, my mind was made up. While raising two sons, I am committed to the competition and achieve high rankings.

PURPOSE

Goals for this season

This year is the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, which is my biggest goal.
I will do my best to win the doubles competition after the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games!
