Born in Chiba, Japan in 2001, she started playing golf at the age of 3, had a baby at 19, and passed the JLPGA Pro Test in 2023.
She attracted attention as the first "mommy's rookie" in the history of the tour system.
She is currently competing mainly on the domestic tour, and is working hard to compete in overseas majors in the future.
Her specialty club is the driver, and she has the ability to hit consistent shots and the spirit to take on challenges.
Being a mother is my strength. With her belief that "if you don't give up, your dreams will come true," she encourages others who have the same dream.
