Her personal best in the event is 12.86 seconds (+0.7 m/s) set in Osaka in 2023. This is the current [national record](/source/List_of_Japanese_records_in_athletics).

She retired in 2013 because of injuries. After marriage and childbirth, she decided to return to sport in 2017, first giving rugby a try and a year later coming back to athletics.[3]
