CHANGE OF POSITION
She originally played as a forward, but switched to a defender in grade eight of middle school. "I was a forward, so it helped me to understand the feelings and movements of the attacking side. As being a defender requires a lot of physical strength in order to cover a wide range on the pitch, it is a position that I can make use of my strength." (kokushikan.ac.jp, 03 Jun 2019; tokyo-sports.co.jp, 22 Nov 2019)
