SKATING INSPIRATION
She enjoys watching figure skating and studies the movements of the skaters. "I'm a fan of figure skating, so I often watched Japanese figure skaters, particularly Yuzuru Hanyu. I think that there are many similarities between the sport and my main event kata like flow of choreography, essential elements, which I should emphasize. I'm trying to learn Hanyu's expression and how he uses his knees." (nikkansports.com, 11 Sep 2018; tokyo-sports.co.jp, 13 Nov 2019)
