However, Sayaka was able to defeat one of them, prompting Yamikumo to assault Miyata. After being threatened by Yamikumo, Sayaka was defeated and fell out of the Land.

Later, Nozomi prepared for the second match as she approached Sayaka. As Sayaka questioned Nozomi on why did she decide to try Keijo, Nozomi stated it was because of money. While Sayaka herself stated that she wanted to wear a cute swimsuit. Nozomi cheered Sayaka up, whereas Sayaka regained her confidence.

### Sweet Room Arc

Months later, Sayaka was accepted into Setouchi Keijo Training School. While Nozomi was later greeted by Hanabi Kawai and Mio Kusakai, Sayaka stated that everyone liked Nozomi. A short time later, Nozomi went to the toilet, but she immediately screamed upon seeing male students there. Nozomi rushed towards Sayaka, while Sayaka explained that male students were studying to become Keijo Engineers.

Upon attending the entrance ceremony, Nozomi and Sayaka figured out that they got the same room in the school's dormitory. But they were warned by Yuko Oshima that their room Room 309 was designated for those who barely passed the exam. As Nozomi and Sayaka introduced themselves, Non gave them some candy, while Kazane only mentioned her name. Nozomi then approached Kazane. But soon, she accidentally ripped off her magazine, causing Kazane angered. Non tried to mediate them but she tripped by a bag, pouring down the tea into Kazane's bed. As such, they were engaged in a commotion. While Sayaka left the room, wondering what would happen next.

On the first day of school, right after the physical training, Nozomi and her roommates went to the cafeteria.. Eight days later, as they hanged out together, Kazane immediately left the room, prompting Sayaka to tell that she went to contact her sister. The next day, Sayaka and her roommates participated in the "Hip-Toss" training routine, but they were troubled since the wind affected the ball and changed the landing spot. Sayaka then realized that the point of this training was to test their teamwork.

The next day, their teacher, Hitomi Hokuto promised to bring the room with the highest score to the best gelato shop in Awaji.

However, Kazane shy away and hiding behind a tree. Later, they went to the cafeteria, while Nozomi started approaching Kazane, prompting Sayaka that her methods were wrong, since she just irritated Kazane. The next day, Nozomi was able to utilize Kazane's ability by looking at her pony tail. Right before they could finish the last pass, Nozomi told the wrong direction to Non, prompting Kazane to shout out loud about where the real landing spot would be. While Kazane realized that Nozomi told the wrong direction on purpose. Nozomi then said that she was waiting for Kazane to gain some confidence. In the end, they were able to attain the highest score. Kazane realized how precious her friends were.

Sometime later, Room 309 finally got the opportunity to participate in a trial match. Right before the match, Sayaka checked Nozomi's butt, prompting Non to state that Sayakawas a pervert.

Rin cornered Sayaka, whereas Sayaka was barely holding on. Sayaka began to lose her balance, while Rin prepared to finish her off. However, Sayaka revealed that she was just acting. Sayaka countered with her technique, "Triple Cyclone", and her last attempt managed to hit Rin.

Rin then realized that Sayaka was holding back. Rin began showing her "Butt Gatling" technique, but Sayaka was able to counter all of her attack. Afterwards, Rin managed to corner Sayaka by spamming the same attack over and over again. Sayaka began to suffer suffocation due to exert a lot of strength. On the other hand, her opponent, Rin was able to hold her breath for extended periods of time, because she has extra ordinary lung capacity. Thirty seconds left before the match ended, Sayaka then used her secret technique, "K-acceleration", to become faster than Rin. Sayaka suddenly teleported behind Rin, and managed to hit her. Rin was later overwhelmed by the "K-acceleration". Angered, Rin released all of her strength. The two released their "Butt Gatling" at the same time. In the end, Sayaka was superior and managed to defeat Rin. Right after her defeat, she recognized Sayaka's skill and congratulated her.

Right after her victory, Kazane Aoba tried helping her in order to pull her swimsuit back. As Nozomi got her turn to fight, Sayaka cheered for her. Sayaka then witnessed Nozomi's fight against Kotone Fujisaki. When Nozomi was able to find out Cerberus' weakness, Kotone started to fight with her chest while combining her own action with Cerberus, prompting Sayaka to tell that was how a hunter and a hunting dog working in tandem. Sometime later, as Nozomi managed to win her match, she was called by Ujibe to the infirmary, while Sayaka, Kazane, and Hanabi Kawai eavesdropped from outside. When Nozomi found them, Hanabi told Nozomi that Sayaka was worried too much.

Later, Nozomi, Sayaka and Non Toyoguchi watched Kazane's fight against Mio Kusakai. Nozomi cheered her up, while Sayaka doubted it since Kazane's opponent was the strongest student in Setouchi. However, Nozomi told Sayaka that Kazane would be alright. However, Nozomi and the others were confused upon witnessing that Kazane was unable to move and was defeated. They were not affected by Mio's "Breast Hypnosis" since it only effective in a close distance. Later that night, as all of her roommates won their matches, Kazane was the only one who lost, thinking that she would be dropped out. Unsatisfied with this, Nozomi invited Kazane to talk with Ujibe. Upon arriving there, they were greeted by Hanabi. While Hanabi explained that Mio Kusakai was punished for using a technique that was banned by Ujibe. On the other hand, Kazane was supported by both Mio and Ujibe. The next morning, all of Room 309's residents have been promoted into the Elite Class.

### Training Camp Arc

Along with the Elite Class members and their teacher, Miku Kobayakawa, they went to Kyoto for a training camp. Upon arriving there, Kobayakawa announced that they arrived too soon. As such, they were given three hours of free time. Sayaka tried to invite Nozomi to travel around with her, but Nozomi was invited by almost all of the Elite Class members. Sayaka eventually traveled around. But soon, Nozomi followed her and decided to travel with her instead of joining with the other Elite Class members. The two were found by Kazane Aoba and Non Toyoguchi as they regrouped. They traveled around, and ended up being scolded by Kobayakawa for bringing too much stuff. Sometime later, she joined with the other Elite Class members to jog around. She witnessed the arrival of Kyoko Shirayuki, while Kobayakawa told them that Shirayuki would be their trainer during the training camp. They were all then surprised upon hearing that an active Keijo player would like to train them.

The next day, she and the other Outfighters were coached by Miyo Harada, while the Infighters, and Counters were coaced by the other active players. Later, both Sayaka and Rin Rokudo were defeated by Harada, causing Rin to mock at her. Later that night, Nozomi stripped naked in front of Sayaka, leaving her confused. She then learned that Shirayuki told Nozomi that there was something wrong with her body, advising to observe Shirayuki. On the last day of the trip, Kobayakawa announced that they would held trial matches. The next day, she witnessed Nozomi's fight with Usagi. Later that night, Sayaka and her friends were discussed regarding the next event, the East-West War.

### The East-West War Arc

After the end of the training camp, she went to Shimizu Keijo Stadium to participate in a yearly event held by Setouchi and their rival, Suruga Keijo Training School, known as the "East-West War" to prove which one is better between the two. Nozomi asked Sayaka if her parents would come to watch her, but Sayaka stated that they definitely would not come. Upon arriving there, alongside her comrades, she engaged in a commotion with Suruga's students, since Suruga's teacher underestimated Setouchi and made fun of them. However the conflict was stopped by Setouchi's teachers, Miku Kobayakawa and Hitomi Hokuto, who apologized to Suruga. Later, they went to the waiting room, Kobayakawa scolded them for making such chaos and advised to beat Suruga fairly and squarely. On the day of the race, Nagisa Ujibe revealed that the races of this year would be team matches. Sayaka got her turn in the first group, along with Mio Kusakai, Kotone Fujisaki, and Mari Murata.

Alongside her teammates, she entered the match against Suruga's representatives of the first group, consisting of Nami Nanase, Akari Fuyuzora, Kaho Fuyuzora, and Saki Hanayama. Before the match started, Sayaka and Mio were recognized as Olympics qualifiers. Thus if she could defeat both of them, her popularity would increase. Sayaka and Nanase then argued as Nanase mocked Sayaka for leaving Judo. As the match started, Sayaka rushed towards Nanase, but was wiped out by Hanayama, before being rescued by Kotone. Right after Murata's defeat, Sayaka and Kotone rushed toward Hanayama, Mio immediately assisted them. Thus, the three of them managed to defeat Hanayama.

Realizing that Sayaka needed to recover after using her "K-acceleration", Kotone decided to protect Sayaka, while asking Mio to handle the twins. Kotone tried so hard in order to protect Sayaka. However, she was ultimately defeated due to Nanase's "Synaesthesia". Kotone apologized for being defeated, she then fell down to the pool. Enraged, Sayaka used her "K-acceleration" at its full potential, ripping her swimsuit off. Sayaka declared that she would defeat Nanase for Kotone's sake, promising that she would not waste the time that given by Kotone.

Sayaka overwhelmed Nanase by attacking her at extremely high speeds. Shortly after, Nanase managed to block her, stopping Sayaka. But soon, Sayaka overwhelmed Nanase again, pushing her. However, Sayaka stopped moving as a result of the "K-acceleration". Thus, Nanase tried to get rid of her. Despite this, Sayaka was still able to survive. She then decided to put all of her strength into her nipples, much to Nanase's surprise. Sayaka hooked Nanase's swimsuit before lifting and throwing her down to the Land, defeating her. Shortly after, Mio also managed to defeat Fuyuzora sisters. As such, they won the first mach. Afterwards, they were congratulated by their comrades. Sayaka then realized that her parents came to watch her, caused Sayaka surprised. As Sayaka told Nozomi about her parents, they began arguing on who would become the Prize Queen.

Setouchi won the first match, but they lost the second match. Thus the outcome would depend on the third match. During the final match, Sayaka cheered Nozomi up from the bench. Thanks to Nozomi, Setouchi finally won the final match and the eleventh East-West War competition. Sayaka congratulated Nozomi, while Nozomi thanked her.

She is later classified as an Outfighter. As such, she is disadvantaged when facing an Infighter.

**Enhanced Speed**: Sayaka has a small build, thus she focuses to improve her agility. This improvement has seen on the final test of the second exam, where she is able to move her butt at high speeds, while her opponent mistook it as her chests.

**Ultra Super Butt Festival Duet** (超々尻祭連弾, *Chōchō Shirisai Rendan*): Moving at high speeds, Sayaka places her butt on multiple places. Producing a vast amount of butts, her butt later takes the form of an Oni, and is accompanied by a dragon. The attack can't be blocked easily as Sayaka is fully protected by a series of butts.
