Career 2023–2024: Junior career In 2023, Hiramoto won her first junior international title in girls' doubles at the Dutch Junior International with partner Riko Kiyose. The pair subsequently earned a bronze medal at the World Junior Championships. Later that year, Hiramoto partnered with Aya Tamaki to finish as a runner-up at the Thailand Junior International.
Continuing their partnership in 2024, Hiramoto and Tamaki won the gold medal in girls' doubles at the World Junior Championships. They also secured a bronze medal at the Asian Junior Championships. Hiramoto was part of the team that won the 2023 Asian Junior Championships, marking Japan's first victory in the mixed team event since 2012. She also contributed to Japan's bronze medal win at the 2024 World Junior Championships.
2025: First World Tour title and world top 40 Hiramoto turned professional in 2025, joining Gifu Bluvic, a team based in her home prefecture. Forming a new partnership with Kokona Ishikawa, Hiramoto won her first senior international title at the Northern Marianas Open. The pair subsequently captured their first BWF World Tour title at the Kaohsiung Masters, a Super 100 event. They also finished as runners-up at the Super 100 Indonesia Masters I and reached the semifinals of the Indonesia Masters II. The pair concluded the 2025 season with a semifinal appearance at the Super 500 Australian Open.
2026 In January, Hiramoto was selected for the Japanese U24 national team for the first time, alongside Kokona Ishikawa.. Hiramoto and Ishikawa opened the season with a Super 1000 debut at the Malaysia Open. They advanced to the quarter-finals, where they were defeated by the eventual champions, Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning. Hiramoto achieved a career-high world ranking of 23 on 9 June. On 4 September, the Badminton Association of Japan announced that it had accepted the pair's request to withdraw from the U24 national team following their decision to dissolve their partnership. The split allowed Hiramoto to team up with 2024 Olympic bronze medallist Chiharu Shida, a fellow Aomori Yamada High School graduate. The pairing came about after Shida, who was competing as an independent player, spent nearly two weeks training at Hiramoto's club, Gifu Bluvic. The duo are set to make their international debut at the French Open in October.
