This time, we introduce the official cheer performer of Chiba Lotte Marines, M☆Splash!! (M-Splash)" new member NAHO.

Born in Urayasu City, Chiba Prefecture, 164 cm tall, hobbies include capsule toys, collecting Heisei girls' goods, and driving. I have extensive experience as a dancer, and in my previous job, I worked as a fitness instructor and taught Pilates and kids' PE schools.

After learning about the existence of the group and seeing members of the same generation shine, I thought, "I want to dance here too; if I don't take on the challenge, I'll regret it," so I took the audition.
