Akemi Sugihara

Towering over the midfield, she utilizes her elite aerial prowess to command the air, though her lack of top-end sprint speed forces her to rely on clever, tight dribbling to navigate play. Haunted by a childhood obsession with origami that led to years of solitary desk work and stiff joints, she now channels that laser-like focus into an aggressive, combative pitch presence. She remains a reserved maestro, whose elegant first touch often masks a quiet intensity that turns her previous limitations into her greatest assets.
