Kiho Yokota is a player who has certainly made his presence felt in the history of Canoa Laureates Fukuoka's challenges.
In the process of the team's evolution, she has always looked forward, fulfilling her role at each moment.

In terms of play, he has supported the team with his daring and competitive spirit, with his one-handed hits that bring a flow to the game, and his tenacious defense.
He has never looked down, even in difficult situations, and his continuous encouragement of his teammates has been impressive, bringing a sense of security and vitality to the team both on and off the court. As the team has undergone many changes, he has also grown and developed himself through friendly competition with his new teammates.

He is a player who has cherished each and every day as a member of Kanoa, sharing both the joys of victory and the frustrations of frustration.

His continued fight to the end to inspire the entire Kanoa team will surely remain in the hearts of many fans.
In the history of Kanoa Laureates Fukuoka, the presence of Kiho Yokota has left a definite mark.

Comment from Kiho Yokota

I have decided to retire from KANOA LAURELAIRS Fukuoka at the end of this season.

I started the three years since I joined KANOA Laureates Fukuoka with an injury that prevented me from playing volleyball for a year, which made me keenly aware of how fortunate I am to be able to play volleyball.

Of course, there have been a lot of fun and happy times over the past three years, but there have also been many difficult times throughout the league, and I am grateful to the members of OHANA, the members of Kanoa, the staff, and my family, who have always supported me with their passionate support through messages and messages at the venue, and to the people of Kanoa for giving their full effort to this point. I am grateful for the support of OHANA members, Kanoa members, staff, and my family, who have always been by my side.

For the remaining league matches, we will do our best to repay the power from everyone by turning it into victories!
Thank you for your continued support for Canoa Laureates Fukuoka!
