Nobunari Oda

I'll be honest, the first time I heard Nobunari Oda was an actual descendant of Oda Nobunaga, the warlord who basically tried to conquer all of Japan, I assumed it was a fun bit of marketing spin, but apparently it checks out, and I love that the bloodline went from "unify the nation" to "land a triple axel and immediately burst into tears." That's the thing I adore about him: in a sport full of ice-cold poker faces, this Osaka guy wears every feeling right on his sleeve and weeps openly when a skate goes well, and somehow it makes you tear up too. He's got that effortless warmth that translated perfectly into his coaching and TV work after he retired. Not exactly his ancestor's path to power, but he clearly inherited the gift for winning people over.

Nobunari Oda is a Japanese figure skater born on March 25, 1987, in Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. He competed at the elite level and later transitioned into roles as a television personality and figure skating coach. He attended Kansai University. He is active on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).
