MIDORI MIKASE

I began to make a full commitment to athletics after enrolling in high school, when I saw Japanese athletes competing in the global arena. Driven by the desire to compete on such a stage, I decided to join Sumitomo Electric.

“Don’t forget the starting point.” I’m still impressed with this phrase given by a coach. I feel that this means that I should not forget my strong points or unique advantages.

That said, I feel that the foremost point is having fun. As long as I have fun, I can continue. Que sera sera is my style.

But so long as I am competing, I will aim for the world stage.
