Started: She began swimming while she was in grade one at primary school, and she started competing when she got to grade five. (tokyo2020.org, 01 Dec 2020; nc.maenisi-hs.gsn.ed.jp, 15 Oct 2018)
Reason: She took up the sport as a form of therapy. "My nursery school teacher and my parents said that I seemed happier in the swimming pool. I felt happier in the water because I could float and move just like everyone else. I probably got hooked on swimming because I am able to move any way I wanted to."
