World Curling Tour career

From 2013 to 2015, Kitaghuchi played third for Minami on the World Curling Tour as well. They did not win any events together. They played in one Grand Slam event, the 2014 Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic, where they were eliminated after losing their first three games. In 2015, Kitaguchi and Minami switched positions on the team, with Kitaguchi skipping the rink. They would find immediate success with their new lineup, winning their first WCT event, the inaugural Morioka Ice Rink Memorial Cup.
