[edit] Career
Oda was proclaimed the winner of the 2005 Japanese Figure Skating Championships, but a glitch in the computer software was discovered and he fell to second place due to having done too many combinations. The Japanese federation split the assignments and sent him to the 2006 World Figure Skating Championships, where he placed fourth, earning Japan two spots to the next season's Worlds.
The following season, he placed 1st at Skate America over American Evan Lysacek and 2nd at the NHK Trophy to compatriot Daisuke Takahashi. He qualified for the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final and placed third. At his national championships, Oda won the silver medal for the second straight year. He went on to compete at the 2007 Winter Universiade in Torino, Italy, where he won silver.
Oda is the 17th direct descendant of Oda Nobunaga, the famous daimyo during Japan's Sengoku period.
