PlotEdit

National Tournament ArcEdit

We first see Hiroe during the draft as the representative for Himematsu, drawing the same block as Kiyosumi as well as Eisui. In the first round the national tournament some of her match was shown and in it deceived her opponent into thinking she had a cheap hand which turned out to be a yakuman (her first in the tournament) for a comeback victory in the round. Afterward she stormed her team's waiting room wanting to know why no one was there after the match to pick her up. While watching Hisa Takei finish her match with her teammates she uttered that they should "inflict some pain on them".

During the second round of the tournament we see Hiroe commenting throughout the first match. After it ended she tried to comfort a defeated Suzu. During Yuuko Mase's match, she doubts Aislinn Wishart and her skills but is corrected by Kyouko Suehara which leaves her impressed.

At the start of Hiroe's match she tells Hisa Takei that she can see her tile. She then wonders to herself if the girl is nervous or just clumsy, either way she was disappointed because she was suppose to be strong. Hiroe then declares riichi and starts talking during her match. She then bluffs her way to winning with a ron and again begins to talk throughout until Kurumi Kakura tells her to shut up. Later in the round she notes that she's feeling good and thought that Kiyosumi was going to be trouble but she turned out to be an idiot. She then wins off of Hisa again before telling her that she's beginning to bore her. After Hisa returns to her old self, Hiroe gets interested and then braces herself for Kiyosumi's bad waits. After Kiyosumi wins a round, Hiroe says that she's almost as good as she is. At intermission she runs back to the Himematsu waiting room wanting and recieving praise. She then converses with Suehara about her match and Suehara's upcoming match. She is then seen with the rest of her opponents beginning the second half. We next see Hiroe anticipating other opponents wins and stopping Haru Takimi with a ron. She tells her that her strategy might work on Kiyosumi but it won't on her because she's on a different level, but is then chided by Kurumi again. At the end of her match Hiroe lead Himematsu to a commanding lead. She along with most of the lieutenant players, stayed sitting in her seat a while after their match had ended.

We next see Hiroe in the Himematsu waiting room during the vice-captain match revealing that Kinue Atago use to be a goal keeper in middle school. After her match, Kinue apologizes for not extending the lead but Hiroe thinks nothing of it. When Kyouko leaves for her match, Kinue asks why was Kyouko not feeling confident. Hiroe informs her that thats just how she is and it gives her strength.After Kyouko managed to place second, Hiroe and the rest are shown welcoming her back. And when Kyouko apologizes for losing the lead, she tells her that there was no problem though she was starting to worry. Kyouko then asks if they should look at their opponents losses and Hiroe says yes because their losses can give them a reference on how to win. Kyouko then goes on to explain about what she was talking about. After Yoshiko Kainou is introduced, she thanks Hiroe for taking care of her cousin Haru during their match, and recalls thats she's like Hiroko Funakubo for her.

Final Eight ArcEdit

Hiroe is shown along with the rest of Himematsu entering the tournament hall. She is later present to send of Suzu before her match. Whien Suzu's dealership first came, she wonders outloud if Suzu can explode this time. When the South round came around, Hiroe was one of the few people to feel that Suzu was about to get an explosion.

Saki Achiga-HenEdit

Final Eight ArcEdit

In a flashback where Mairu Shirouzu talks about why Kirame Hanada got picked for the vanguard position, she talks about how Himematsu put their ace, Hiroe, in the lieutenant position.
