Comments from the person

When I was in the first grade of elementary school, I met a gold medalist at the Deaflympics and was very inspired by him.
 A year later, on the NHK program "Heart Net TV," she declared, "I also want to win a medal at the Deaflympics."
 In the 2025/2026 season, I would like to participate in the European Cup for hearing athletes and the World Junior Championships to study rhythmic movements in hearing athletes' races. I would also like to win a gold medal at the 2027 Deaflympics and show the world that even someone with a severe hearing impairment like me can race on an equal footing with hearing athletes from all over the world.
