Kapomaikai Nakakura brings spark, speed, and bench punch for Embry-Riddle
In the 2025-26 season, freshman guard Kapomaikai Nakakura appeared in 24 games for Embry-Riddle and averaged 3.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, 22 assists, and 14 steals, with a reputation for giving the Eagles a quick-hitting offensive boost off the bench[3]. She’s shown she can change the temperature of a game with perimeter shooting and hustle, including a 15-point burst with three triples in a January 2026 win, while her high-school resume adds real pedigree: All-State Fab 15, first-team all-district honors, and a state-championship run[2][3]. At 5-foot-2, she’s a smaller guard who stands out more for pace, edge, and energy than size, which makes her a fit for teams wanting a disruptive, fearless spark plug[1][3].
