She won 5 out of 8 bouts with Funakubo-Gatame for Ippon.[2][4][6][7][8][9]
In 2017, she became a member of the Judo club at the Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Group.[5] In February 2017, she won all bouts with Funakubo-Gatame for Ippon at the European Open Sofia.[10][11]

Funakubo-Gatame
Funakuo's favorite technique is Newaza, especially Osaekomi-waza called Funakubo-Gatame.[2][4][5] Funakubo-Gatame is considered a modified Hara-Zutsumi (stomach wrap grabbing) technique. Hara-Zutsumi originates from Nanatei Judo[10] This is officially classified as Kuzure-Kesa-Gatame or Kata-Gatame.[2][4][5] When she was in the second grade at junior high school, she couldn't practice Judo because of a knee injury. Thus she was doing 1000 Pull‐ups every day for a month.[5] After the recovery, she invented Funakubo-Gatame to turn over an opponent in a prone position.[2][4][5]
Some in the media say Funakubo looks like the actress Rena Nōnen.[3][4][5]
