Fukuhara Ai is a typical Japanese girl. She is gentle and lovely on the outside, but strong on the inside. She began to contact table tennis at the age of 3. She is very talented. She began to participate in formal training since she was a child, and she would cry because she won or lost the game.

So the Japanese people watched her grow up, and her excellent quality and pleasing appearance were deeply loved by the people.

Her offensive power is strong and aggressive, and her technology is becoming more and more mature. She won the national children's championship with hard training when she was only five years old, and was called a genius by the Japanese.

She likes table tennis just as others like her.
