Gymnastics career

She competed internationally for Japan, most notably at the 1987 and 1989 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, as well as the 1988 Summer Olympics where she placed 34th in the all-around.[2]
Her last major competition was the 1993 All-Japan Artistic Gymnastics Championships.[1]
Musical career

She was also a participant in the short-lived group Akagumi 4 in 2000.[3] She quit Hello! Project after her group was eliminated at the end of 2000, and she returned to the sporting world as a women's artistic gymnastics coach. During the 2004 Summer Olympics, she provided gymnastics commentary for Japanese television.[4]
