Women’s soccer team Lilywolf F. Ishikawa “Pray for Victory” at that shrine again this year【Kanazawa Topics】

Lilywolf.F Ishikawa is working to become the 「first women’s soccer club in Hokuriku」. Following last year, a victory prayer was held on February 1 at Oyama Shrine in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture.

In 2022, Lilywolf.F Ishikawa prayed for victory at Oyama Shrine, also on January 14. The picture posted on Instagram before they all joined together is a bit sad….

In 2023, they lined up in matching red jerseys and prayed for 「promotion to the second division of the Nadeshiko League」. I could feel the spirit that was overflowing.

What is the reputation of the mascot character Yuriko Ishikawa?

The name of the team’s mascot character, which was solicited from the general public, was decided to be Yuriko Ishikawa.

11月29日に発表したところ「カッコいい　ぬいぐるみなどの、グッズが欲しい」、「見た瞬間フフって笑ってしまった　これはある意味斬新です」、「みんなで、こう呼ぶんですねw　ゆ～りこちゃ～ん!!!!　byルパン三世」と反響があり、可愛がってもらえそう。When we announced it on November 29, we received a number of comments such as, 「It’s so cool! I want plushies and other goods」, 「I laughed when I saw it. This is novel in a way」.　「We all call it like this, don’t we, W Yurikochan !!!!　by Lupin the Third」.

This year, Yuriko Ishikawa will be pledging 「promotion to the second division of the Nadeshiko League」 at the Oyama Shrine, and her popularity is likely to gain momentum!

Oyama Shrine Information

While the movie 『Legend and Butterfly』 in which Takuya Kimura and Haruka Ayase play Nobunaga Oda and Princess Nobuhime, and the NHK historical drama 『Dousuru Ieyasu』 in which Jun Matsumoto plays Ieyasu Tokugawa and Junichi Okada plays Nobunaga, it was Toshiie Maeda, the founder of Kaga domain, who served Nobunaga Oda and was called 「Yari no Matataza」.

Oyama Shrine is known as a shrine dedicated to Lord Maeda Toshiie and his wife Omatsu-no-mikoto, and is crowded with people praying for various things, from safe delivery to success in school, prosperous business, and prosperity of the company, but Prayers for victory are especially beneficial for Lord Toshiie, who is also known as 「Yari no mataza」 (this is my personal opinion).
