Kaori Sakamoto (坂本花織, Sakamoto Kaori, born 9 April 2000) is a Japanese figure skater. She is the 2017 World Junior bronze medalist, 2016 Junior Grand Prix Final bronze medalist, 2016 JGP Yokohama champion, and 2017 Japanese junior national champion.

Career

Sakamoto won the gold medal at the 2012–13 Japan Novice Championships and placed 9th at the Japan Junior Championships that same year.

2013–14 season

During the 2013–14 season, Sakamoto debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) circuit, placing 6th in Ostrava, Czech Republic. She finished 8th at the Japan Junior Championships.

2014–15 season

Sakamoto started her season by finishing 7th at her JGP event in Aichi, Japan. She went on to win the Japanese national silver medal on the junior level before placing 6th on the senior level at the 2014–15 Japan Championships. Those results gave her a spot to compete at the 2015 World Junior Championships, where she placed 6th.

2015–16 season

Sakamoto began her season by winning the silver medal at her JGP event in Riga, Latvia, and finishing 4th at her JGP event in Toruń, Poland. Due to a stress fracture in her right shinbone, she stayed off the ice in October and resumed skating without jumps in November.[1] At the Japanese Championships, she placed 5th competing in the junior event and 13th on the senior level.

2016–17 season

Sakamoto received medals at both of her 2016–17 JGP assignments – silver in France and gold in Japan – and then won the Japanese junior title. In December, she took the bronze medal at the JGP Final in Marseille, France, and placed 7th competing on the senior level at the Japan Championships. She was assigned to replace the injured Satoko Miyahara at the 2017 Asian Winter Games but withdrew due to the flu.[2] She went on to win bronze at the 2017 World Junior Figure Skating Championships.

2017-18 season

Sakamoto turned senior in the 2017-18 season, starting with a win at the 2017 Asian Trophy. She finished 4th at the 2017 U.S Classic. Her Grand Prix assignments are 2017 Rostelecom Cup, where she finished 5th, and 2017 Skate America, where she won the silver medal with new personal best scores for the short program, free skate and overall.
