Biography
editAt the age of 7, Oda started skateboarding as off-season training for snowboarding at the suggestion of her uncle.[2][3] She is a "street" skater who performs on courses that mimic handrails and obstacles in the city.
On April 21, 2023, Oda signed an athlete contract with Sanrio along with Momiji Nishiya. She became the company's first athlete.[4] In December of the same year, she won her first victory at the women's street event of the World Skateboarding Championship, which was held for the first time in Japan.[5]
