Athlete
Sister, Kiri.
Japanese
Hoshino Resorts
Younger sister Kiri (Golf): On the verge of winning a professional tour card. She used to snowboard until she got into golf at the age of eight, and is an Olympic hopeful for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
2011 FIS event in Copper (Slopestyle - 11th)
2013 World Cup in Copper (Slopestyle - 46th)
2013: Fractured collarbone and left wrist.
Took up snowboarding when she was five at an indoor practice field (Alts Bandai Snow Park), in Fukuoka City, Japan, winning her first domestic competition in the first grade. Signed her first sponsorship deal at seven. In 2017, she begged the park operators (Hoshino Resorts), to make a world-class training slope where she could base herself - and they did, calling it "Miyabi Park."

"My favourite things about snowboarding are stomping a new trick, standing on top of the podium, flying through the air, sliding a rail, riding with friends." (nitrosnowboards.com)
At the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, she will be looking to wash away the memory of a disappointing PyeongChang 2018 and win two gold medals. (olympics.com, 22 Nov 2021)
After the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, she went back to the drawing board, reviewing her entire plan, from her training regimen to her diet to her gear. It paid off as she won the Big Air at the 2020 X Games and silver in 2021 when she also became the first Japanese, male or female, to win a World Championship medal in that discipline.

"There are no hacks, just have a great time and try to make yourself get a little better each time. Use your imagination!" (nitrosnowboards.com)
