She had a very short-lived career. At the start of 1997 she set a personal best of 1:09:22 hours for half marathon in Tokyo before claiming the 10,000 metres title at the All Japan Corporate Track and Field Championships. At the Nagoya Women's Marathon, a third-place finish in 2:29:37 hours earned her an international call-up for Japan at the 1997 World Championships in Athletics. At the competition in Tokyo the 23-year-old managed to finish fourth on her international debut with a run of 2:32:18 hours. [1] Combined with the performances of winner Hiromi Suzuki and tenth-placer Nobuko Fujimura, this performance helped the Japanese women to the title at the 1997 World Marathon Cup. [2]

Following her global performance she returned to the Nagoya Marathon in 1998, but her time of 2:35:26 hours left her out of contention and she did not compete internationally thereafter. [1]
