Despite representing Japan in tennis and strongly connecting with her Japanese roots, Naomi has candidly discussed the intricacies of her identity. She once remarked,
“I don’t really know what feeling Japanese or Haitian or American is supposed to feel like. I just feel like me.”
Although she speaks English fluently, Naomi’s Japanese is at a conversational level, illustrating her diverse cultural background. Her gestures, including bowing during games, embody a distinctly Japanese essence that her supporters admire.
