Star forward Ramu Tokashiki has signed a multiyear contract with the Seattle Storm, the WNBA club announced on Friday.

Although the length of the contract was undisclosed, Tokashiki's return to the team shows that she's an important piece of the puzzle for the rebuilding franchise. The Storm went 10-24 last season and posted a 12-22 mark in 2014.

"Taku (Tokashiki) is a key building block for our future," Seattle head coach Jenny Boucek, who is entering her second season at the helm, said in a statement.
