Ice dance with Koshiro Shimada 2025–26 season: Debut of Kushida/Shimada Kushida began the season by competing in the women's singles discipline on the 2025–26 ISU Junior Grand Prix series, finishing fifth at 2025 JGP United Arab Emirates.

At the beginning of December Kushida/Shimada competed at their first international competition, the 2025 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb, where they placed thirteenth, narrowly missing the required technical minimum for the 2026 Winter Olympics and Four Continents Championships by 1.56 points.
