The following skaters placed high enough at Junior Nationals and so were invited to compete at Nationals: Nobunari Oda (first in junior, third in senior), Kazumi Kishimoto (second in junior, fifth in senior), Yasuharu Nanri (third in junior, eighth in senior), and Takahiko Kozuka (fourth in junior, fourth in senior) in men, and Mao Asada (first in junior, second in senior), Mai Asada (second in junior, eighth in senior), Aki Sawada (third in junior, fourth in senior), and Akiko Kitamura (fourth in junior, fifth in senior) in ladies.
Silver medalist Mao Asada was not old enough to be sent to the World or the Four Continents Championships.
Following the national championships, Honda, Arakawa, and Ando were assigned to the World team. All other places were filled following the 2005 Four Continents Championships, with the highest placing Japanese skater earning the available Worlds spot.
