MF 16 HAYASHI Honoka
A defensive midfielder who can prevent opponents' chances with accurate anticipation and also score goals by actively participating in the attack.
A “craftsman” in midfield, whether she starts or comes on as a substitute, she can carry out the tasks assigned to her.
With a high football IQ, good basic skills and stability, she steadily progressed through the national team in each age group and joined Nadeshiko Japan in 2019.
Since taking her talents abroad in 2021, she has increased the intensity of her play and expanded her range as an attacking midfielder with West Ham United (England).
At last summer's Women's World Cup, she scored a goal in the quarter-final against Sweden.
Enjoys reading books and sometimes takes several with her to away games.
