Career

Junior career

Hoshi represented Japan in junior team competitions, securing a mixed team silver medal at the 2012 BWF World Junior Championships in Chiba.[4] She also earned mixed team bronze medals at the Asian Junior Championships in Gimcheon in 2012 and Kota Kinabalu in 2013.[5][6]

Senior career

Hoshi competed in women's singles and women's doubles on the BWF circuit. In her early senior career, she primarily focused on singles, achieving three runner-up finishes in BWF International Challenge/Series events: the 2014 Polish Open, the 2016 Brazil International, and the 2017 Portugal International.[7][8][9]

Hoshi's career was highlighted by her achievements in women's doubles. Partnering with Naru Shinoya, she secured three International Challenge titles: the Peru International and Brazil International in 2016, followed by the Portugal International in 2017.[10][8][11] In 2017, they also reached the final of the BWF Grand Prix Canada Open, where they finished as runners-up to compatriots Mayu Matsumoto and Wakana Nagahara.[12][13] Additionally, they were finalists at the 2017 Finnish Open and the Smiling Fish International.[14][15] This partnership propelled Hoshi to her career-high women's doubles ranking of world No. 27 on 26 October 2017.

With the introduction of the BWF World Tour in 2018, Hoshi formed a new partnership with Kie Nakanishi, winning the Austrian International and claiming their first World Tour title at the Russian Open, a Super 100 event.[16][17] She then partnered with Aoi Matsuda in 2019, winning the Polish Open.[18] Their biggest victory came in 2021 with their win at the Hylo Open, a Super 500 tournament. On their path to the title, they defeated the top-seeded Thai pair Jongkolphan Kititharakul and Rawinda Prajongjai in the semifinals before overcoming Japanese compatriots Rin Iwanaga and Kie Nakanishi in the final.[19][20]

Towards the end of her career in 2022, Hoshi partnered with Miyu Takahashi, winning three consecutive International Challenge titles at the India International (I), the India International (II), and the Maldives International.[21][22][23] On 3 April 2023, her team, BIPROGY, announced Hoshi's retirement from professional badminton, effective 31 March 2023.[24]
