| + | Kazama inherented her joy of motorsport from her father, which is furiously in love with GT racing, and decided to try racing herself after her family traveled to Sportsland SUGO in 2006 to see Yuji Tachikawa and former F1 driver Toranosuke Takagi take a glorious win live. Her old-fashioned family was against this, however, she did not take no for an answer and sneaked out to do races on a local karting track. She proved herself to be a talent, which allowed her to at least convince her father who sponsored her career secretly. Sadly, her father lost his job as part of economical damage caused to his company by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake. That led to him not being able to support his daughter's plans. Fortune was in her favour with her dad winning a journey to the [[2011 F1RWRS Chinese Grand Prix]] for his entire family in a raffle by Nissan. The second part of this prize was a lap around the track with a car by [[Jones Racing]] on the day after the race. Her father was supposed to do that lap but due to food poisoning he was not able to do anything, let alone steer a car. After much begging, the team let Tomo do that laps.</b></font> | ||
