Impairment
She lost her right arm in a traffic accident in November 2004 when she was studying to become a nurse, which initially forced her to abandon her career. However, when she went to a facility to get her artificial arm, she was impressed by people with a disability playing basketball. Since then, she began swimming as well as returning to study again to become a nurse. (toshijuku.com, 31 Aug 2008)
