Profile
YUI joined SEA-Cheer in 2021. The Tokyo native is the team’s captain, continuing the leadership role she held in the preceding season as Obic entered XLeague Premier in 2026.
Her sports and dance background includes gymnastics, swimming, ballet and cheerleading. Her profile describes powerful, passionate performance and eye contact with spectators as features to watch.
In her April 2026 message, YUI said she wanted to preserve the team’s DNA and desire to win while trying new approaches in the new league. She described cheering and performance as ways to help more people become part of the Obic community.
Her work also takes her beyond the stadium. She performed at the AEON Mall Tsudanuma grand-opening event on 21 March 2026, alongside MARI, RIINA and MAYU, and at Makuhari Baytown’s 26th Baytown Festival on 30 May. Those appearances combined dance with promotion of the team and opportunities to meet local families.
