She consults her performances with her brother.

She opted not to join an elite football academy, unlike many of her teammates and decided to also focus on her education.

She studied Medical Science at Hosei University in Tokyo.

She is the first Asian national to play for Manchester United Women's team.

She won the Golden Boot at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, scoring five goals in four games.
