Naru Shinoya (篠谷 菜留, Shinoya Naru; born 18 March 1994) is a Japanese badminton player.[2] She is affiliated with the NTT East team.[3]

Career

[edit]

2021

[edit]

Shinoya, together with her partner Kyohei Yamashita, won the mixed doubles bronze medal at the 2021 World Championships after losing in the semifinals to compatriots Yuta Watanabe and Arisa Higashino, 13–21, 8–21.[4]

2024

[edit]

In the first half of 2024, Shinoya partnered with Yamashita in mixed doubles, pursuing qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympics. On the BWF World Tour, their highest finish was a quarterfinal at the Thailand Masters. Despite competing in several high-level tournaments, including the All England Open, the pair did not qualify for the Olympics.[5] Their partnership concluded on April 2024, following her retirement from the national team.[6]

Remaining with her corporate team, NTT East, Shinoya formed a women's doubles partnership with Nao Yamakita, winning the Malaysia International in September.[7] In December 2024, Shinoya concluded her professional playing career at the All Japan Badminton Championships, where she won the mixed doubles title with Kazuki Shibata and announced her retirement from the sport.[8]

Coaching career

[edit]

Following her retirement, Naru Shinoya was appointed as the women's doubles coach for her corporate team, NTT East, in April 2025.[9] Upon her appointment, she stated her goal was to develop junior players capable of reaching the national team.[6] In May 2025, the NTT East pair of Hinata Suzuki and Nao Yamakita won the women's doubles title at the Japan Ranking Circuit tournament, defeating Arisa Igarashi and Kie Nakanishi of BIPROGY in the final.[10] This victory led to Suzuki and Yamakita's selection for the Japan national team by the Nippon Badminton Association on 6 June 2025, a development that fulfilled Shinoya's coaching objective.[11]
