So that makes them the second team to join the Montreal group, after Estonia's Solène Mazingue & Marko Jevgeni Gaidajenko.

Yes, Sara Kishimoto seems to be new to ice dance. Her more recent competition was NvA Ladies' in 2020, and this was from the Chubu Regional during that year (Sara placed 15th): https://www.jsfresults.com/National/2020-2021/fs_e/block4/data0605.pdf

She was registered under Meito FS Club at that time (so from Nagoya region?) Other information is that she was born in Jul, 2007. And she was a quite impressive spinner when competing at the Novice level.
