I have 5 to 6 of them, such as for keeping them at the hotel on the road trip, for putting them on before practice, for carrying around, etc., and it feels like one in one bag. Absolutely. Don’t forget it. It’s a hassle to replace it with a bag one by one (laughs). “
There is also a car key in the bag. My car is a Jeep Wrangler that was also posted on my Instagram. “When I go out, the means of transportation is by car. I also like driving, and sometimes I run along the coast of Shonan and Chiba, and sometimes I go to Minatomirai at night.”
In addition, a brilliant silver medal is also in the bag! “Now, I’m often asked to show it in interviews, so I carry it with me all the time. When I don’t need to carry it, I want to send it to my parents’ house. I think it will remain in the box at my house. “Because,” said Toriumi, who bites Hani. Now that the Tokyo Para is over, my next goal is to win a medal at the Paris Paralympics three years later. Before that, there will be the U23 World Championship to be held in Chiba next year.
