Yonamine only switched from tennis to cycling when in college at Tsukuba University, and quickly achieved success in Japan, coming in second in both the Japanese National Road Race Championships and the Japanese National Time Trial Championships in 2012 at age 21.[3][4] The next year, she won both the national road race and time trial championships.[5][6] In the spring of 2016, she signed a short-term contract with the American UCI team Hagens Berman–Supermint,[7] and later repeated her victory in the national time trial.[8] Yonamine was selected to represent Japan in the 2016 Summer Olympics.[9]
