Congratulations to Tomoki on taking the Bronze Medal at Kinoshita Cup. A long road since his Junior days but it’s been a joy to follow him. I always love his music choices, he never shies away from jumps, has admirable stamina, speed and his spins are wonderful (due in part to his early training).
I am really going to miss Tomoki, his presence was one-of-a-kind and he never failed to entertain. I know he mentioned in one of GoldenSkate's posts on Instagram that he wants to become a technical specialist. I hope he gets the opportunity to be part of another ice show at some point!
Going to miss Tomoki competing. I wanted him on the olympic team so bad, but I am happy he finished his career with a good skate. Happy retirement to him and glad he is planning to stay in the skating world.
