Naomi Yotsumoto is a professional Japanese table tennis player, who wears unconventional outfit for a table tennis player and attracting a lot of media’s and ping-pong fan’s attention.
Her uniform obsession began after she graduated from college. “I wanted to show myself. So with that, I wanted to change the image of ‘Table tennis is stupid.’ ” She has designed the uniforms that she is wearing [in the Japanese National Championships]. She wore a cream number that exposed her left shoulder and also had a “Paris daisy” in her hair. She advanced to the quarterfinals in the mixed doubles, but lost in the fourth round of the women’s singles. “Without a doubt, I wouldn’t wear gear that would be a hindrance to my play. (As for the loud uniforms), I understand the pros and cons, but I want to continue with it.” (source: uniwatchblog.com)
Masato Watanabe and Naomi Yotsumoto defeated defending champions Ryusuke Sakamoto and Ai Fukuhara in full sets in the mixed doubles semifinals during yesterday’s Japanese National Championship tournament.
