Brief personal history
Born in 1987. Started playing volleyball in the first grade of primary school when her father was the head coach. Participated in a total of four national tournaments during primary and junior high school. In her third year of junior high school, she participated in the JOC as captain of the Kagawa Prefecture national team. After graduating from junior high school, he went on to a higher education school, where he aimed to participate in the spring high school competition, but was narrowly defeated by Takamatsu Kogei in the prefectural finals. After entering university, she took a break from volleyball to study abroad, work for an educational NPO and obtain her teaching licence. After graduating from university, she worked for an educational NPO, but left after one year to establish an educational organisation based in Sendai City to support the disaster-affected areas. He then returned to his home prefecture of Kagawa for the first time in about 10 years after graduating from high school and became involved in coaching the boys’ volleyball team as a high school teacher. The team reached the spring high school prefectural finals twice, but again lost to Takamatsu Kogei. While coaching the club, he also gained coaching experience by setting up a school with the concept of promoting and strengthening volleyball, and planning and running volleyball classes. While immersed in volleyball coaching, she realised that she had not given up on her childhood dream of becoming a volleyball player, so she quit her teaching job and moved to Berlin, Germany, to become a volleyball player abroad. Just as she was beginning to establish a foundation for her life, her son suffered a serious life-threatening injury and she had to return home suddenly. After his recovery, she moved to Hokkaido. In a small town with a population of about 3,500, she founded and managed a sports club and started coaching volleyball for a living. Later, by chance, she became head coach of the (then) Sendai-based volleyball team Ligare Sendai (women’s) in the V2 League. He was in charge for one season. She is currently preparing to take on the challenge of coaching volleyball abroad.
