Career
Sakamoto won the gold medal at the 2012–13 Japan Novice Championships and placed 9th at the Japan Junior Championships that same year.
2013–14 season
During the 2013–14 season, Sakamoto debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) circuit, placing 6th in Ostrava, Czech Republic. She finished 8th at the Japan Junior Championships.
2014–15 season
Sakamoto started her season by finishing 7th at her JGP event in Aichi, Japan. She went on to win the Japanese national silver medal on the junior level before placing 6th on the senior level at the 2014–15 Japan Championships. Those results gave her a spot to compete at the 2015 World Junior Championships, where she placed 6th.
2015–16 season
Sakamoto began her season by winning the silver medal at her JGP event in Riga, Latvia, and finishing 4th at her JGP event in Toruń, Poland. Due to a stress fracture in her right shinbone, she stayed off the ice in October and resumed skating without jumps in November. At the Japanese Championships, she placed 5th competing in the junior event and 13th on the senior level.
2016–17 season
Sakamoto received medals at both of her 2016–17 JGP assignments – silver in France and gold in Japan – and then won the Japanese junior title. In December, she took the bronze medal at the JPG Final in Marseille, France, and placed 7th competing on the senior level at the Japan Championships. She was assigned to replace the injured Satoko Miyahara at the 2017 Asian Winter Games but withdrew due to the flu.
