Mitsuki Ota

She had wanted to take up football since kindergarten and finally started organised football in the first grade of elementary school.

Ota's role model is Takehiro Tomiyasu.

Solving a Rubik's Cube is one of her special skills.

Her personal motto is: “Only the actions of your future self can make your past self the right answer.”

Her decision to join INAC Kobe came after training with several teams; she chose the club because she believed it offered the best environment to move closer to her goals of playing for Japan and succeeding with youth national teams.
