I would like to introduce Ms. Shizuku Chiba, a member of Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters official cheer team "The Fighters Girl".

Born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, on October 10, his nickname is "Zuku-chan" and his hobbies are muscle training and notebooks.

The The Fighters Girl program is a calling for me," says Chiba. In her third year with the team, she explains the reason for continuing her activities, "Since I became a The Fighters Girl, The Fighters has placed second two years in a row! Both were great voyages that will go down in history, but it was still frustrating to think of winning and walking in the parade! I felt that I had to do something to make this year's event a success. The Fighters I decided to continue our activities with the hope that this year we can lead Hokkaido's second year of the "Sailing for the World" to victory and enliven Hokkaido as a whole! I decided to continue our activities.

[The Fighters Girls]
In 2004, the The Fighters Girls cheerleading team was formed along with the team's relocation to Hokkaido. Beyond energizing the stadium with their performances and cheering on the team, they are active both inside and outside the stadium, serving as stadium tour guides, promoting the team in various media, and working as dance academy instructors. They also actively participate in visits to kindergartens and daycare centers throughout Hokkaido and appear at events, playing a crucial role as a "bridge" connecting The Fighters with fans and the local community. This season, wearing their newly redesigned costumes—the first refresh in four years—the team consists of 27 members, including 14 new members and 13 returning members, who will passionately support The Fighters in their quest win.
