If my memory hasn't failed I think Eriko was the outstanding Japanese junior who entered the Asian Junior
semis 2 years ago in KL losing only to Jiang -whatshername.If it is the same girl (now 20?) it is attributed to the work of Gu Jia Ming.

Jiang -whatshername. Jiang Yanjiao maybe?

Well, Eriko's record over the last year is impressive anyway, probably a future world top class player :

After tens of years, finally Japan get back its Lady.
Like I said in this thread (http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=21899).
It seems that she is the re-incarnation of Hiro Yuki.
