Morimoto began practicing rhythmic gymnastics at age 11 and continued to pursue her passion at the Japan Women’s College of Physical Education. During her enrollment, she participated in the All-Japan Student Championship and the All-Japan Rhythmic Gymnastics Championship.
While actively partaking in championships, Morimoto grew more interested more in artistic expression, studying ballet and contemporary dance. In 2012, she participated in the production of “The Soldier’s Tale” choreographed by lead Megumi Nakamura, and in performance events in New York.
