Iroha Kishimoto

Japanese product Iroha Kishimoto packed her bags for Australia to take part in a short tour with the Tokyo Phoenix in 2024, then never went home after former ACT Brumbies coach Scott Fava made a surprise call to the international asking her to join his squad.

Kishimoto went on to play all six games for the Brumbies in 2024 and returns for a second season.

Outside of rugby, Iroha has two burning passions of design and hiking. Working as a clothes designer, creativity is certainly her strong suit as she also uses her skills to learn more about producing social media content during her time in Australia.

Hiking is also an outlet for her as despite being fresh to Canberra she has already taken on the climb up Mount Ainslie as she looks for more tracks to enjoy around the nation's capital.
