Naomi Osaka marked her first Pan Pacific Open appearance since 2022 with a custom crane outfit inspired by her mother’s Hokkaido home, then defeated Jasmine Paolini 6-3, 7-6(4).

Osaka says her crane-pattern outfit for Tokyo was a nod to her mother’s hometown and a special homecoming moment, after her opening win.
