Womens
Koana found success in women's curling during the 2017–2018 season, where she would skip her team to a gold medal at the 2018 Japan Women's Curling Championships,.[4] This win qualified the Koana rink to represent Japan at the 2018 Ford World Women's Curling Championship[1] finishing in 10th. She also represented Japan at the third leg of the 2018–19 Curling World Cup, finishing with a 2–4 record.
To begin the 2019-20 curling season, Koana won the Morioka City Women's Memorial Cup and finished runner-up at the 2019 Cargill Curling Training Centre Icebreaker.[5][6] The Koana rink was unable to win another Japanese Women's title, finishing 4th at the 2020 and 2021. Koana later decided to become an alternate on the team, that would now be skipped by Yuna Kotani for the 2021-22 curling season, where they finished in 8th at the 2022 Japan Curling Championships.
