Chris Reed (born July 7, 1989) is a Japanese ice dancer. With his sister Cathy Reed, he is a seven-time Japanese national champion (2008–11, 2013–15). With Kana Muramoto, he is the 2016 CS U.S. Classic silver medalist and the 2016 Japanese national champion.

Personal life

Chris Reed was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan.[1] His mother is Japanese and his father is American.[2] Reed has two skating siblings – his elder sister, Cathy, with whom he competed with in ice dancing, and his younger sister Allison Reed, who is also an ice dancer.[2]

Partnership with Cathy Reed

The Reeds won the novice ice dancing title at the 2006 U.S. Championships. They decided to represent Japan beginning in the 2006–07 season.[3] While novice national champions are usually given a chance to compete on the Junior Grand Prix, Cathy Reed was too old at the time of their win to compete as a junior internationally. The Reeds accepted an offer to compete for Japan, advancing immediately to the senior level.

After advancing to the senior level, they placed fourth at the Golden Spin of Zagreb and second at the 2007 Japan Championships. At the 2007 Four Continents, they placed ahead of several teams who had been competing a seniors much longer.

Making their Grand Prix debut, the Reeds placed 9th at the 2007 Skate America and 8th at the 2007 NHK Trophy. They won the Japanese national championships. They repeated their 7th-place finish at the Four Continents, and then placed 16th at the 2008 Worlds. They represented Japan at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.[2]

The Reeds were named in the Japanese team to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

After the 2014–15 figure skating season, his sister retired from competitive figure skating.

Partnership with Kana Muramoto

On June 17, 2015, it was announced that Chris Reed had teamed up with Kana Muramoto and that the duo would train under Marina Zueva, Oleg Epstein, and Massimo Scali in Canton, Michigan.[4][5] Together, they are the 2015–16 Japanese national champions.
