Moa Iwano is 14, she was born in Seoul and represents Japan. She trains under coach Utako Nagamitsu, who is Daisuke Takahashi's coach.
Her idols are Yuna Kim, Mao Asada, Daisuke Takahashi and Javier Fernandez. She also expressed admiration for Satoko Miyahara when she saw her live at the olympics in Pyeongchang (she also trains at the same rink and with Satoko and the Hamada group).
She is one of the most beautiful interpret of music and performer I have ever seen and her Asturias short program (choreographed by Akiko Suzuki) is a masterpiece. She has been struggling with jumps (UR) last season on the junior GP and this season too but her spins and skating skills are gorgeous.
