Naomi Yotsumoto is currently one of the most talk-about Japanese ping-pong players, not just for her skills, but mainly for her fashion and style during the games…
The 29-year-old Tokyo native is a professional ping-pong player in Japan. Naomi’s achievements in the sport were decent, but not quite to the world-elite levels. There’s no question about her popularity though, as she now owns a TV show and a published autobiography [via Tokyomango]
There are no official dress codes for ping-pong games, but most of the players, male or female, are dressed in baggy T-shirts and sport pants.
The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) is looking to change that by sexing up their attire particularly for the female players to increase the popularity of the sport around the world…
Perhaps we will see more female ping-pong players wearing tight cloths and mini-skirts in near future… but obviously, Naomi is already a step above the rest in fashion sense.
A video below (in Japanese) with Naomi Yotsumoto in action; do not confuse Naomi with the other girl on 2:45-3:45… that’s Ai Fukuhara, arguably the most popular Japanese ping-pong player at the moment…
Another shorter video with different fashion…
