Sporting relatives:

Her older brother Takayoshi and older sister Kayo have both represented Japan in karate. Takayoshi compete in the -75kg kumite category at the 2018 K1 Premier League event in Salzburg, Austria, while Kayo placed sixth in -68kg kumite category in the 2019 K1 Premier League overall standings.

She began the sport at age five. (jiji.com, 17 Mar 2020)

She and her older sister were influenced by her brother who got involved in the sport prior. "I didn't know about karate, but just wanted to spend time with my brother and sister. To be honest, I was scared of kumite. However, when I decided to compete at the national tournament in grade two of primary school, it made me continue kumite, not because I enjoyed it, but because I wanted to win."
