His breakout performances and result helped Team Japan secure three berths for the 2019 World Figure Skating Championships.

2018–2019 season

[edit]
Tomono at the 2018 Skate Canada International

Tomono began his season with a fifth-place finish at 2018 CS Lombardia Trophy. In October, he placed 9th overall with a score of 220.83 at his first GP event 2018 Skate Canada International. In November, at 2018 Rostelecom Cup, he placed third overall with a personal best score of 238.73.

At the 2019 Japan Championships, he placed fourth overall, seventh in the short program, and third in the free skate. With Yuzuru Hanyu unready to compete and silver medalist Daisuke Takahashi declining international assignments, Tomono was sent to the 2019 Four Continents Championships, where he finished twelfth.

2019–2020 season

[edit]
Tomono at the 2019 Skate America

Tomono placed seventh at the 2019 CS Lombardia Trophy to begin the season before placing fifth at the 2019 Skate America[3] and eighth at the 2019 Rostelecom Cup.[4]

At the 2020 Japan Championships, he placed sixth overall after placing eleventh in the short program and fourth in the free skate. With gold medalist Shoma Uno declining the invitation, Tomono was sent to the 2020 Four Continents Championships, where he finished seventh, setting new personal bests in all segments of the competition.[5]

2020–2021 season

[edit]

Competing domestically, Tomono won the silver medal at the Western Sectionals championship, qualifying for a berth at the national championships.[6] With the COVID-19 pandemic affecting international travel, the Grand Prix was assigned primarily based on geographic location, and Tomono competed at the 2020 NHK Trophy in an all-Japanese men's field. He placed second in the short program, 3.99 points behind Yuma Kagiyama.[7] In the free skate, he doubled a quad attempt and turned out of another, among other jump errors, remaining in second place overall to take the silver medal, albeit nearly 50 points behind gold medalist Kagiyama's score. He assessed his errors as resulting from being "too careful."[8]

Tomono placed sixth at the 2020–21 Japan Championships.[9]

2021–2022 season: Four Continents silver

[edit]

Tomono's first Grand Prix assignment was initially the 2021 Cup of China, but following its cancellation, he was reassigned to the 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia in Turin.[10] He placed sixth at the event.[11] At his second assignment, the 2021 Rostelecom Cup, he placed first in the short program and fifth in the free to finish third overall, setting new personal bests in all segments of the competition.[12][13] This was the third Grand Prix medal of his career.[14]

At the 2021–22 Japan Championships, Tomono finished in fifth place. He was named as second alternate for the Japanese Olympic team and sent to compete at the 2022 Four Continents Championships.[15] Tomono finished second at Four Continents, setting new personal bests in all segments of the competition.[16] Following injury-related withdrawals by national champion Yuzuru Hanyu and first alternate Kao Miura, Tomono was named to the Japanese team for the 2022 World Championships.[17] As a result of the International Skating Union banning all Russian athletes due to their country's invasion of Ukraine and the absences of Hanyu and Nathan Chen due to injury, the World Championships men's field was considered more open than usual.[18] A clean skate in the short program earned Tomono a new personal best and a small bronze medal for third place, sweeping the segment alongside fellow Japanese skaters Shoma Uno and Yuma Kagiyama.[19] In the free skate, Tomono made a number of errors, dropping to sixth place overall. Speaking afterwards, Tomono expressed gratitude for "this wonderful opportunity to skate at the end of the season" while also noting that he had "regrets that I couldn't put on my best in this performance. I didn't really feel pressured, it was more the lack of practice, and I realized that I am not yet ready to be on the podium, so I need to practice harder."[20]

2022–2023 season

[edit]

In his first event of the season, Tomono came fourth at the 2022 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, including a third-place finish in the free skate.[21] He placed second in the short program at the 2022 Grand Prix de France, the first of his two Grand Prix assignments, but dropped to third overall after the free skate and earned the bronze medal. He admitted to "some regrets to my performance" in the free, vowing to improve his mental consistency while under pressure to win. He praised the French audience at the event.[22] After missing his quad Salchow in the short program at the 2022 NHK Trophy, he placed fourth in that segment.[23] Despite being third in the free skate, he remained in fourth place overall, 2.93 points behind bronze medalist Cha Jun-hwan.[24][25]

Tomono was fourth in both segments at the 2022–23 Japan Championships, but placed third overall, winning the bronze medal and standing on the senior national podium for the first time in his career.[26][27] He was named to compete at the 2023 World Championships, held on home ice in Saitama.[28]

In the short program in Saitama, Tomono finished seventh in the segment despite falling on an underrotated quad Salchow attempt.[29] He set a new personal best in the free skate despite a fall on a quad toe loop, scoring 180.73 and rising to sixth overall.[30] Tomono was then named to Team Japan for the 2023 World Team Trophy the following month. He came seventh in this short program as well with another quad Salchow fall.[31] He was ninth in the free skate, having made several jump errors. Team Japan won the bronze medal.[32]

During the off-season, Tomono was cast to play Koza for the summer show, One Piece on Ice.[33]

2023–2024 season

[edit]

Tomono won the silver medal at the 2023 CS Nebelhorn Trophy in his first competition of the season.[21] He was invited to participate in the Japan Open as part of the host team, coming second in the men's segment behind Ilia Malinin, while Team Japan won gold.[34]

Appearing on the Grand Prix at the 2023 Skate Canada International, Tomono came third in the short program, but in the free skate he made three errors on his quad jumps and fell in the step sequence. He finished fifth in that segment, and dropped to fourth place overall, finishing 0.89 points behind bronze medalist Matteo Rizzo of Italy. He said afterward that his "skating condition was not at my max today."[35] Tomono was fourth as well at the 2023 Cup of China.[36]

Tomono finished sixth at the 2023–24 Japan Championships.[37]

2024–2025 season

[edit]

During the off-season, Tomono sustained a hip injury and he acknowledged going into his first competition of the season, the 2024 Grand Prix de France that he did not have the optimal training time to practice his jumps. He would place fifth at the event after finishing third in the short program and sixth in the free skate.[38][39]
