Shiho became interested in volleyball at a very early age, mostly because her sister played the same sport for her high school team, and was apparently amongst the best players there.
Shiho attended a local elementary school, and was into various activities during her eight years there, including acting with the school’s drama club, dancing and practicing creative writing.
She enrolled at Kawasaki Tachibana High School 2004, and became even more serious about volleyball; it was around this time that Shiho started playing professionally, and played in her first tournaments.
She matriculated in 2008, and then enrolled at Tokai University, from which she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in 2012.
Shiho’s career
Shiho’s career was launched while she was still attending a local high school, as she competed in the Saga Inter High league in 2007; Shiho and her team reached the final four.
