Haruka Takashima
Snoopy's Skating School
Haruka Takashima is a former member of the Japan women’s national ice hockey team. "When I was a high school freshman, I was selected as a member of the Japan women’s national ice hockey team. Since then, I have played in many international competitions, including the Ice Hockey World Championships and a 2006 Winter Olympics qualifier. In that qualifier, I was the youngest member of the team and won the Most Valuable Player award. After graduating from university, I went to Europe to join top teams in the region and retired as a professional player in 2013. I was invited to study at Waseda University, one of Japan’s top universities, thanks to my achievements in international competitions, with the expectation of becoming a leader in the sports industry after graduation. I received the Azusa Ono Memorial Award, the most honorable student award, from the university upon graduation. After retiring from competitive sports, I ventured into the business world, a rather unexpected option for Japanese women athletes. I was dispatched to the Japanese Olympic Committee where I supported elite athletes who will be able to contribute to Japan’s future sporting world and society at large. I worked in the Japan Sport Council, an incorporated administrative agency. At the same time, I have energetically pursued career enhancement activities, including working as a sports commentator for the Olympic games and a lecturer on themes such as dual-career development for athletes. My last task in Japan was being part of the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. I contributed to the success of competition management (Baseball/Softball) at the Tokyo Olympics. Currently, I am living in Sonoma County, CA and I want to incorporate my past experience to make ties with the sporting world between U.S. and Japan.

Daniel graduated college from Utah Valley University and took a job working for a famous beagle named Snoopy shortly after. Daniel's hobbies and passions include hockey, basketball, surfing, cooking, art, and most importantly spending time with the amazing people in my life!
