“Shocking Release” Female Badminton Super Beauty → “National Team” Put it down by yourself, why?
Mao Taguchi (21 years old), who has attracted a lot of attention as a super beauty in the Japanese women’s badminton world, will temporarily resign from her position as national representative. This is due to the impact of injuries during this year’s season.
Japanese media such as “Mainichi Sports” and “The Digest” recently reported: “Taguchi Yaeko decided not to participate in the Japanese national team this year through the official website of her team.”
After the news that Yaeko Taguchi announced through her team spread, many Japanese badminton fans were shocked. Yuta Watanabe, who is currently partnering with Yaeko Taguchi in the mixed doubles, also reported that he will retire from the national team. Watanabe said the reason for his resignation was “because under the current circumstances, it is difficult to repay the company that sponsored me and the people who helped me.”
According to reports, the reason why Yaeko Taguchi withdrew from the national team was due to the management of a knee injury. Media reports said: “I think this is a priority for knee management and strengthening,” and “I think it is difficult to face it with a full sense of responsibility while following the Japanese team’s schedule. In this regard, I made the decision to withdraw from the national team.”


The batsman has received a lot of attention from Korean fans with his beautiful appearance. Recently, she revealed her appearance wearing a kimono, a traditional Japanese costume, for Coming of Age Day through a personal social networking service (SNS), which has aroused heated discussions.
Korean fans also commented, “HaNi of badminton”, “I seem to have seen TWICE”, etc. Local media in Japan also praised her as “a coming-of-age ceremony for the best appearance of all generations” and “an artist-level beauty that surpasses sports stars.”
The strength is also very outstanding. As a rising star in Japanese women’s badminton, her main events are women’s doubles and mixed doubles. In 2023, she also won the World Youth Championship women’s doubles championship. Currently, the Japanese adult national team is also evaluated as a core resource.
However, some evaluations say that many difficulties still need to be overcome. Before her resignation, she partnered with two-time Olympic mixed doubles bronze medalist Yuta Watanabe to compete with the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics as the goal. Although the goal this year is to enter the top 20 in the world rankings, from the perspective of injury management, it was decided to take a temporary break.
