Horie Mina (33), known as Japan's "strongest announcer," shared her healthy recent status with a refreshing martial arts performance, overcoming a fracture injury.

Japan's "iFight" reported on the 14th (Korean time) that "Horie posted a video on her social media showing herself breaking roof tiles while wearing a micro-mini qipao."

Horie participated in the tile-breaking challenge event at the "2026 Chichibunomiya Minato Rugby Festival" held at Tokyo's Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium. In the video, she wore a short qipao, raised her leg high, and forcefully struck the roof tiles with her heel. Horie expressed her joy in the post, stating, "This is my first time breaking tiles since the fracture."

Horie is a freelance announcer who typically projects an elegant and intellectual image on broadcasts. However, when she steps onto the stage, she showcases bold martial arts performances, capturing public attention with her striking "contrast charm."

Her exceptional physical abilities stem from long-term training. Horie is a black belt (first-degree) who has practiced Goju-ryu karate, a traditional style, since childhood. The media reported that "she has consistently built solid strength and flexibility by combining martial arts training with high-intensity weight training in her daily routine."

She has previously drawn attention multiple times for her unconventional actions. Videos of her performing high kicks that reach above her head while wearing a qipao with a deep side slit, as well as videos of her fearless board-breaking, gained significant popularity. At the time, Japanese media outlets highlighted her, describing her as having "the strongest physical abilities in the announcer world" and possessing "both beauty and destructive power."

However, at the end of February this year, she suffered a major injury, fracturing the lower ulna (the bone below the forearm), while attempting to break a thick board with her bare hands. After undergoing surgery in early March, she posted a photo of herself with a thick cast on her arm, expressing regret by saying, "I think I will have to take a break from breaking things for a while."

Even during the painful rehabilitation period required for the bone to heal, he did not stop training. At this event, he leveraged his specialty, kicking, to prove his complete comeback.

Fans cheered, saying, "Her movements are still sharp," "It's a relief she succeeded without injury," and "The downward kick she returned with after overcoming difficult rehabilitation is superb."
