Sportspeople From Japan

"Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to play football."

"Nothing would make me happier than seeing kids aiming high, never giving up and most of all, remembering to enjoy every moment. Loving the game is a must whenever you’re out there on the pitch."

"I may be small, but I am strong, and I want to show that."

"There weren't any girls' teams when I first started playing so me and another girl played with the boys."

"When it comes to physical confrontation, we are slightly disadvantaged, that is why we need to and I have to make the best use of my speed."
