Шаблон:Nihongo is a Japanese ice dancer and former single skater.

Early life and education

Tanaka was born on 29 October 2005 in Kyoto, Japan. She attends Kyoto Koka Girls' High School. Tanaka looks up to fellow Japanese skaters Satoko Miyahara, Kana Muramoto and Yuna Shiraiwa.

Career

Early years

Tanaka began skating in 2012 after being inspired by her older brother's classmate, who was a figure skater. She placed fourteenth at 2017–18 Japan Novice A Championships and seventh at 2018–19 Japan Novice A Championships.

2019–20 season: Junior Grand Prix Debut

Tanaka was assigned to make her Junior Grand Prix debut at the 2019 JGP Lake Placid on the 2019–20 circuit. In her short program, she missed her combination due to a fall and doubled a planned triple Loop, placing her tenth with a score of 51.37 points. During the free skate, Tanaka downgraded four jumps, falling twice, and doubled a Lutz. Tanaka finished in fourteenth place overall. Appearing next at the 2019–20 Japan Junior Championships, Tanaka finished in tenth place.

2020–21 season

The 2020–21 Junior Grand Prix circuit was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, Tanaka did not have the opportunity to compete on the Junior Grand Prix again. At the 2020–21 Japan Junior Championships, Tanaka finished in fifteenth place after several mistakes in both programs.

2021–22 season

Tanaka competed at the 2021–22 Japan Junior Championships and placed fifth overall, making her highest placement in the event. She then competed at the senior level, finishing tenth in the short program with a clean skate despite a quarter call on her combination. Tanaka struggled in the free skate, coming nineteenth in the segment and dropping to eighteenth place overall.

Tanaka was assigned to compete at the 2023 Egna Trophy in the junior category. She came third in the short program with a score of 51.35. In the free skate, she under-rotated the first three jumps and struggled on the spins, then finishing in fourth place behind Canada's Fiona Bombardier.

2022–23 season: Ice dancing career

On 6 May 2023, Japanese ice dancer Shingo Nishiyama announced that he and Tanaka were a new ice dance team and would be training at the Ice Academy of Montreal in Montreal, Canada.
