Takamoto Ayaka, archer (Hiragana Keyaki)

Takamoto Ayaka of Hiragana Keyaki, who lives in Kanagawa (like Zuumin), belongs to the Japanese Archery Club at her school. She has just posted a few photos on her blog.

Wearing hakama and chest-protector, and with new, custom-made, arrows for third year.

There's a lot of potential in Hiragana Keyaki. If you like "Pon-chan," you can read translations of some of her blog posts here.
