[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.
