Yuzuru Hanyu article series on English Wikipedia
Yuzuru Hanyu (羽生 結弦, Hanyū Yuzuru, born December 7, 1994) is a Japanese figure skater, ice show producer, author, and philanthropist. He is a two-time Olympic champion and the first male single skater to complete the Super Slam, having won all major international senior and junior titles in the course of his career. In July 2022, he moved from competitive to professional figure skating, pioneering the concept of solo ice shows performed at the athletic level of competition programs. He is regarded as one of the greatest and most complete figure skaters in history for his well-rounded skills, achievements, popularity, and impact on the sport. In March 2011, Hanyu's hometown of Sendai was hit by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami—a disaster that has fundamentally shaped his life and career. Since that day, he has participated in multiple charity events, donated money for the reconstruction, and dedicated various exhibition programs to the victims of the disaster. In recognition of his contributions to sports and culture, he was bestowed with the People's Honour Award in 2018 and received the Kikuchi Kan Prize in 2022 among other accolades.
