Ryotaro Hirokawa [personal], JPN, from 2013

He began athletics in grade three of primary school in Hakodate, Japan. He took up long jump in grade 11 at Yuto High School Affiliated with Hakodate University in Japan. (tokainewspress.com, 01 Oct 2016; 4years.asahi.com, 20 Aug 2019; rikujyokyogi.co.jp, 15 Sep 2019)

He was encouraged by his older brother Kotaro. "I had been initially a sprinter who competed in the 100m, but I realised that I wouldn't reach the level to compete. Therefore I was thinking about which event I would have potential to improve, and coincidentally I tried long jump at that time." (4years.asahi.com, 20 Aug 2019; nikkansports.com, 18 Aug 2019)

He received a Rookie Award at the 2019 Japan Association of Athletics Federations [JAAF] Athletics Awards in Japan. (jaaf.or.jp, 05 Dec 2019)
