2026 Kinoshita Group Cup: General Info and Pregame Chat

[tsuyoboogie]

3 Japanese Ice Dance added

Rika KIHIRA / Shingo NISHIYAMA
Ikura KUSHIDA / Koshiro SHIMADA
Kaho YAMASHITA / Yuto NAGATA

I am so happy for Kaho and Yuto!

They work so dang hard and yet have been so underappreciated
And they've trained together longer than any of the other current Japanese Dance teams
Hope they are able to make the most of this opportunity
Wishing them best of luck and an enjoyable, successful Senior debut season

BTW, their coach is Rie Arikawa.
Some people think Japan has only one Ice Dancing coach Cathy Reed, but it not true.
