“Olympic gold medals with brothers and sisters” Table tennis Tomokazu Harimoto & Miwa Harimoto “I want my brother to be my goal…”

We approached the real faces of the older brother Tomokazu, who won the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics, and the rapidly growing younger sister Miwa.

In August of last year, Tomokazu Harimoto and Miwa won the first international doubles competition. The two showed an outstanding combination unique to brother and sister, but when I asked Miwa, my sister, about how Tomokazu, my brother, usually behaves, I was surprised to hear, "He's at his own pace. He's free." He taught me how to look good. And my younger sister, Miwa, has a certain relaxation method. During the break of close-up coverage, Miwa started dancing. Miwa dances while her older brother, Tomokazu, is being interviewed and even just before the match. She perfectly danced the choreography of TWICE's song. Regarding dance, Miwa said, "It's a routine. I like dancing, so it eases my mind and tension."

In fact, dance is a menu that trains the sense of rhythm, and it is also included in the training camp for the Japan national table tennis team for children aged 7 and under. He told me that he is being kept alive even while playing. In the year since last year, Miwa has been growing rapidly, rising to about 600 places in the world rankings. When asked about her future goals, she confidently replies, "A gold medal at the Olympics." Furthermore, he said, "I want Tomokazu Harimoto to remember Miwa because Tomokazu Harimoto is famous. I want my brother to be my goal." Tomokazu Harimoto and Miwa Harimoto are brothers and sisters aiming for an Olympic gold medal.
