First of all, I’m relieved to have won the championship. I’ve been working hard from practice to prepare for this tournament, which is one of my goals. I don’t think there will be any easy matches in the Jr. Winter Cup, which is the main match, so we will focus on our daily practice and improve our team power. Please provide some support.

I was feeling the pressure because it was also a tournament where I had to win three times in a row, but I was relieved that the team worked together to reach the championship. I am filled with gratitude for being able to play on such a big stage as the Okinawa Arena, and for the many people who have supported me on a daily basis. Thank you for your encouragement.
In the Jr. Winter Cup, which will be held in January next year, our goal is to further improve our team power and win each match with confidence to win the championship. As a representative team of Okinawa Prefecture, I will do my best to further boost basketball in Okinawa Prefecture. Please provide some support.
