Career

Iwabuchi started playing soccer at Sekimae S.C. in her second year of elementary school. She was encouraged by her brother Ryota, who played soccer on the FC Tokyo junior youth team and currently plays for the Meiji University soccer club. She joined NTV Menina in 2005, and has been a member of NTV Beleza since 2007.[2]

Iwabuchi began her international career in 2008 when she was selected onto Japan's Under-17 national football team at the age of 15, and participated in the 2008 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in New Zealand. The team was defeated in the quarterfinals but she was awarded the tournament's MVP (adidas Golden Ball).[3] A French team coach hailed her as a "future star of women's football."[4] Iwabuchi was also awarded the Asian Young Footballer of the Year by the Asian Football Confederation in 2008. She joined the Japan national team for the East Asian Football Championship, held in early 2010, and debuted in the game against PRC national team.
