CAREER DECISION
After graduating from high school in 2007, she decided to join a business handball team instead of entering university. "I just wanted to become good at handball. In order to maintain good form, it would not be a good idea to live alone, so I decided to play for Kanagawa Bank handball team where I could commute from home." (ninomiyasports.com, 18 Jun 2018)
