Yoshie Onda (恩田 美栄, Onda Yoshie, born December 13, 1982 in Nagoya, Japan) is a Japanese figure skater. She is a three-time Four Continents medalist (bronze in 2001 and 2002, silver in 2005), eleven-time Grand Prix medalist, the 2005 Winter Universiade champion, and two-time Japanese national medalist. She represented Japan at the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Career

Onda started taking skating lessons at the age of eight.

Onda became the first Japanese female figure skater to win a Grand Prix series title when she won the Bofrost Cup on Ice in Gelsenkirchen, Germany in 2002. She also won the NHK Trophy that same season. Throughout her career, Onda attempted to land a triple axel in her programs, but never did so successfully.

Onda hoped to end her career by skating at the 2007 World Championships but failed to qualify for the event at the Japanese Nationals. During her competitive career, her coaches were Josée Chouinard, Audrey Weisiger and Machiko Yamada. Onda retired from competition in 2007. She performed with Prince Ice World and then began coaching in Nagoya.
