According to the stats never won anything. Notability tenuous at best. Fails WP:NSPORTS and WP:BIO.  scope_creep Talk  13:10, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

 * While I can't find much, I did find this article in a potentially reliable source which could count as substantial coverage, but more importantly in mentions an article in Chunichi Shimbun about the subject which I believe is citation number 2 in the article (found at ), and also provides substantial coverage. It seems her being a female racing driver at that time, even without much success, made her at least stand out, and potentially there would be much more coverage, in particular in Japanese print magazines and newspapers from the time (the one I've mentioned above is from 2005). So for now I think weak keep. A7V2 (talk) 07:55, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - I agree with A7V2. This really needs someone who can read Japanese to go over sourcing, but the sources that are already in the article seem to indicate that the subject likely passes the WP:GNG. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 08:19, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment It is most mediocre article as the women, hasn't won one race.    scope_creep Talk  09:48, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep in 1991 she was on the first all-female team at LeMans, and this was covered in USA Today and other media (now in article). This also resulted in coverage in a sports psychology textbook. While USA Today did not do an extended story on her, as noted above, citation #2 appears to be extended coverage. DaffodilOcean (talk) 12:37, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep In addition to the coverage given above, I also found some coverage in a Japanese magazine (Diet library has the title for this piece). Seems she is notable for the first Japanese women to participate in the races she raced in & there is enough for WP:BASIC. Jumpytoo Talk 19:25, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
