I would like to introduce you to Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles official cheerleader "Tohoku Golden Angels", YUU.

Born in Miyagi Prefecture on February 22, her nickname is "YUU-chan" and her hobby is camping. After working as a cheerleader for a sports team in Tohoku, YUU joined the Angels. This season marks her second year with the team, and she hopes to bring the appeal of sports cheer to as many people as possible.

The warm smiles of the fans that we touched through our activities last season are a great encouragement for our current activities. We will continue to push win together with fans in the 2026 season with the hope of "making Rakuten Eagles known to more people and becoming a more beloved team.

[Tohoku Golden Angels]
Formed in 2005, the year the team was founded, this season marks their 22nd year as a cheerleading team. For the 2026 season, they have 25 members in total: 9 new members and 16 returning members. In addition to energizing the stadium and supporting the team through their performances, the cheerleading team also engages in PR activities through appearances in various media outlets and works as cheer dance school instructors, aiming to be a "bridge" connecting the team with fans and the local community.
They also place great importance on revitalizing the entire Tohoku region, and one of their distinguishing features is their active interaction with local people, such as visiting elementary and junior high schools throughout Tohoku and visiting kindergartens and nurseries with the team's official mascot.
