I would like to introduce SHOKO, a member of Fukuoka Softbank Hawks official dance and performance team "HONEY'S".

Born in Fukuoka, Japan, January 3, 153 cm tall, hobbies include dancing and listening to music.

I love HONEY'S!" She has kept this straightforward feeling and finally entered her 9th season, the longest of all the HONEY'S members. I want to grow even more and be a person who can bring a lot of power to the team and to the fans," says Shoko, who will continue to enliven the stadium as a captain and a performer this season.

A holiday where you can enjoy delicious food, be soothed by beautiful scenery and nature, and finally relax in a hot spring.

What are you grateful for in your life?
My parents, and everyone who has supported me up until now.
To my dance teachers, the seniors who gave me the opportunity to join Honey's, my family and friends who supported me, and all the people involved and staff who nurtured me. And of course, to all the members of the performance team who always work hard with me and all the fans who support me ♡

Here's what's amazing about member XX!
Each member has wonderful qualities, so it's hard to choose just one...♡
I'm always helped by Sou and Shino's cheerful personalities; just having them around brightens up the team's atmosphere! I also love and respect their kind nature and how they naturally care for those around them.

◯What was the happiest thing about being a part of "Honeys"?
The moment I was able to share the incredible sight and joy of The Hawks winning the league championship and becoming Japan's best teammates with my beloved teammates and fans!

◯What aspects of yourself do you think have grown since joining "Honeys"?
When I first joined Honey's, I was really nervous, and I especially hated MCing! (laughs)
However, with more experience, I can now enjoy the atmosphere of the moment.
My experience as captain has taught me so much every day and has helped me grow as a person.

Show off your team!
They are a really close-knit, kind, and cheerful team!
Each member has their own unique charm, and they all share a warm desire to "bring joy to those who watch us!" ♡
The Hawks Performance Team's charm lies in their friendly MCing and energetic performances that bring smiles to everyone's faces! Please look forward to the performances that can only be created by the 2026 season members!

◯What are the challenges you've set for yourself for the 2026 season?
I'll continue to be ambitious in my ninth year!
Aiming for the league championship and the best team in Japan, we will create the best team possible with the 2026 members!

A place I love, full of excitement and dreams!
This is a special place filled with so many memories!

◯How would you describe "Honeys" in one word?
A source of energy!

◯What do you think a "professional baseball cheer performer" is like?
I think they broaden the enjoyment of watching baseball, and are a presence that makes the game brighter, more fun, and puts the viewers in a positive mood.

What do you think a captain is like?
A presence that guides the team's direction while staying close to everyone and running alongside them.
I want to be a source of reassurance for everyone, no matter what.

If you had to choose your walk-up music for the 2026 season, which would it be?
HANA 'NON STOP'

Finally, a message to the readers of Pacific League Insight...

"We're already super excited for the 2026 professional baseball season! Please come to the stadium and enjoy not only watching baseball game, but also our performance ♡ We'll be waiting for you at MIZUHO PayPay Dome FUKUOKA!"

[Honeys]
The team was formed in 1993, the year Fukuoka Dome (now MIZUHO PayPay Dome FUKUOKA) opened, and will be celebrating its 33rd anniversary in 2026. The team name "Honeys" comes from the team's official mascot, Honey Hawk.
Through a wide range of activities, including dance performances at the stadium, media appearances, PR activities through events, and various fan services, they aim to be a force that strengthens the bond between The Hawks and their fans.
In 2026, auditions were held in three locations: Fukuoka, Taipei (for the second time following last year's auditions), and Kumamoto (for the first time). Seven new members and eleven returning members (three of whom were from Taipei) were selected. The team is evolving to become more global and more deeply rooted in the local community.
