At the age of 18, she made the national team, which won a silver medal at the 2016 World Team Table Tennis Championships. She also won gold at the women's doubles at the 2016 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals with Hina Hayata.

Association change

In 2019, Hamamoto registered with the Austrian Table Tennis Association in hopes of acquiring Austrian nationality. According to her family, she did so in order to continue playing internationally, as making the Japanese national team again had been difficult for her.[4][5]

Hamamoto appeared in the 2017 film Mixed Doubles.[6]
