◇◇◇

This time, we would like to introduce a new member of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters Official Cheer Team "The Fighters Girl", Kotomi Ishida.

Born in Osaka Prefecture, born on November 13th, his nickname is "Kocchan", and his hobbies are idol watching and touring red stamps.

Mr. Ishida has been learning a wide range of dance genres such as ballet and rhythmic gymnastics since he was in elementary school. I devoted myself to cheerleading for three years of high school, but due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, my activities were restricted and I graduated with some regrets. Still, for Ishida, cheerleading was a special presence that taught him "the joy of delivering smiles and courage" and "the wonderfulness of working towards a single goal with his friends." I strongly wanted to go back to that world again, so I auditioned for The Fighters Girl.

[The Fighters Girls]
In 2004, the The Fighters Girls cheerleading team was formed when the team relocated its home base 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 through 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 fans, the local community, and The Fighters. 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 for win.
