Personal life[edit]

Shibayama was born on February 26, 2008, in Nishinomiya, Japan. She has a brother two years younger who also used to be a figure skater.[1] Shibayama took up figure skating after watching Mao Asada's Biellmann spin at the Japan Figure Skating Championships.[2]

In addition to skating, Shibayama enjoys playing the piano, reading, and walking.[3] She owns a miniature dachshund[4] named Axel after the popular Axel jump.[5] She looks up to South Korean skater You Young and Italian skater Carolina Kostner.[2]

Career[edit]

Early years[edit]

Shibayama began skating when she was three years old after watching Mao Asada on television.[4] Shibayama first trained at the Hyogo Nishinomiya F.S.C and then joined the Kinoshita Academy[6] under the tutelage of head coach Mie Hamada when she was still a Novice skater.

2019–20 season[edit]

Competiting in the 2019-20 Novice National Championshps, Shibayama scored 81.00 points and captured the bronze medal.[7] She competed in the 2019–20 Junior National Championships, where she placed fourteenth.[8] Shibayama was sent to the 2020 Bavarian Open[9] in the Advanced Novice Girls I category and won the competition.[10]

2020–21 season[edit]

Shibayama was among the four Novice A skaters invited[11] to compete at the 2020–21 Junior National Championships and finished fourth with 170.68 points.[11] At the 2021 Lake Cup, Shibayama attempted a triple Axel jump but fell despite "seeming to have enough height and speed."[12]

2021–22 season[edit]

The Japanese Skating Federation having opted not to send any skaters at international competitions, Shibayama did therefore not compete in the ISU Junior Grand Prix Circuit[13] that season. At the 2021 Western Sectional Championships, Shibayama was second after the short program, but placed first in the free skate and went on to win the competition with a score of 177.70 points.[14] At the 2021–22 Junior National Championships, Shibayama placed fifth and eighth in the short program and free skate respectively, ending the event with a sixth-place finish.[15] At the 2021–22 National Championships, Shibayama made her first appearance at a Senior National Championships. She delivered a clean performance that put her in eleventh place[16] after the short program. In the free skate, all her jumps received positive GOE.[17] She finished the event in tenth place overall, achieving a new personal best of 186.12 points.[18] Shibayama ended her season at the 2022 Challenge Cup with 165.03 points, taking silver[19] behind fellow compratriot Mone Chiba.

2022–23 season[edit]

Shibayama was selected to participate in the Junior Grand Prix circuit.[20] She was sent to the 2022 JGP Courchevel where she made her Junior Grand Prix debut.[21] With a clean performance and a score of 67.09[22], she was in first place after the short program, setting a new personal best score. Despite missing a combination in the free skate and placing third on the segment, Shibayama claimed the silver medal behind teammate Hana Yoshida.[23] Following her results at the 2022 JGP France, Shibayama was assigned a second Junior Grand Prix assignment at the 2022 JGP Poland II.[24] She found herself in twelfth place following the short program, having missed her opening combination,[25] but rose to fifth place[26] overall by placing third in the free skate. Shibayama came second at the 2022 Western Sectional Championships, scoring 181.79 points[27] behind teammate Mao Shimada. Shibayama finished fifth overall at the 2022–23 Junior National Championships scoring 65.39 points[28] and 118.89 points[29] in the short program and free skate respectively. She qualified for the 2022–23 National Championships for the second consecutive year.[30] At the 2022–23 National Championships, Shibayama was the first skater to take to the ice and placed seventh in the short program.[31] In the free skate, she landed all of her jumps[32] and finished tenth overall with a total score of 189.09.[33] After placing tenth at the 2022–23 National Championships, Shibayama was assigned to her final event of the season, the 2023 International Challenge Cup. Placing first in both segments, she claimed her first Junior international gold medal at this competition with 184.89 points.[34]
