The Heroine Who Boosts Urawa Reds’ Spirit Makes Her Return to FRIDAY After Six Years!

A heroine who enlivens stadiums and ballparks

── Could you tell us about your work? What kind of activities are you mainly involved in now?

“I do a lot of sports-related work, like baseball and soccer. For baseball, I’m part of the support show ‘Dra Navi,’ which focuses on the Chunichi Dragons, and I also work as an assistant on former pro baseball player Atsushi Kataoka’s YouTube channel. For soccer, I’m the host of ‘REDs My Life’ (on FM NACK5), a show supporting the Urawa Reds. I also work on programs related to public sports gambling, such as cycling (keirin) and boat racing.”

Keeping in style with homemade oden

── Are there any other types of work you’d like to challenge yourself with?

“I want to continue working in fields related to things I love, just like the work I’m doing now. I absolutely love cooking. Before this photoshoot, I made sure to cook meals that were nutritious—keeping a balance so I wouldn’t gain weight but also not lose too much. I wanted to stay healthy while maintaining a nice figure, so I focused on meals rich in protein and low in fat. I’ve been thinking about getting a certification in cooking or pursuing work related to it someday.”

── What kind of dishes did you make specifically?

“Before the shoot, I made a large batch of oden. Oden is actually very low in fat, and you can control the amount of salt. It’s low in calories, so you can eat a lot of it, and it’s really good for your body. I made enough for three days, and I even ate some last night (laughs).”

── Lastly, could you share a message for the FRIDAY readers?

“I put a lot of effort into preparing my body for this shoot, and I think it turned out pretty well. Please take a look!”
