Sport Specific Information |
Why this sport? |
"My mother seemed to want her daughters to be able to swim because she couldn't swim herself. When I was seven I learned that there was a day when I could attend artistic swimming practice in the club. Even though I wasn't doing anything special, my body was supple and I could do side splits from my childhood. Hence, my parents thought that their daughter had an aptitude for this sport." |
When and where did you begin this sport? |
She took up the sport at age seven at the Athena Aqua Mates club in Saitama, Japan. |

RETIREMENT AND COMEBACK
She retired from the sport in September 2013 and became a coach at Kokushikan University in Tokyo, Japan. She returned to competitive action in 2014, and competed with Atsushi Abe in the mixed event at the 2015 World Championships in Kazan, Russian Federation. "The reason is that I was simply interested in what a male and female artistic swimmer could do together, so I wanted to experience the mixed duet. Since I had retired for only two years, I felt that my body could still bear the loads, and the other main reason was that my respected teacher Masami invited me back. In addition, I wanted to be one of the first in the event, the first Japanese representative. That's why I decided to come back."

OCCUPATION
She has served as the head coach of the artistic swimming team at Kokushikan University since 2015. "There was a balance between my own practising and coaching the swimmers, which was very hard, sometimes I felt I was worn out. But, looking back, it was a very good experience, I think. Artistic swimming can be expressed infinitely in the water. That means there are endless things to do in the water and you may think that there are endless things swimmers have to do. Instead, there are endless things that can be expressed – that's what I've learned from coaching." (fina.org, 09 Jul 2020; kokushikan.ac.jp, 18 Sep 2018, 04 Jun 2019) |
