Comment
My goal is to represent Team Japan as a point guard and play at the Olympics and the World Championships. I want to show the world that height doesn’t matter to be a top player. Which is why I am truly thankful that Sun Chlorella has my back on maintaining my health and physical conditioning, both essential to achieving my dream. As a member of Team Sun Chlorella, I would like to continue to seek what’s best for my athletic body and build a successful career in the world of basketball.
