Yuzuru Hanyu
“This is the journey I took with my programs since March 11 2011” says gold medalist in unique substitute for suspended sporting events.
Perhaps even stranger still, this particular person has achieved an almost cult-like status among some Japanese women.
If you’ve ever wondered what flavor gum the two-time Olympic gold medalist favors, you now have the answer!
A showering of gifts might be the norm for the Olympic gold medalist, but this one could mean the most to him.
In a long-standing debate, some people posit life imitates art more often than art imitates life.
Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu became the first man in 66 years to win two consecutive Olympic gold medals in men’s figure skating at the PyeongChang Olympics on Saturday.
Call for more balanced language following gold and silver medals for Japanese figure skaters runs into strong backlash.
Even gold-medal winning figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu has been caught on film performing the infectious dance moves.
He’s handsome, talented and an Olympic gold medalist. And now, Yuzuru Hanyu will be making his screen debut as a samurai lord in the Edo period!
Japanese ice skater Yuzuru Hanyu is famous for record-breaking performances—but none are as awesome as this video of the athlete with a lightsaber!

Brand endorsement is a big thing in Japan, and many companies and organizations appoint celebrities and famous personalities to promote their products, services and campaigns. More often than not, these famous faces appear not only on billboards and commercials, but also on limited-edition campaign goods such as collectible postcards and plastic folders that consumers can receive by participating in the campaigns.
Fans would rush to get their hands on these limited freebies featuring their favorite stars, but as always, if there’s a face on it, there’d be trolling. Some Japanese youths have found some ingenious ways to “use” these Yuzuru Hanyu and Miliyah Kato plastic folders, check them out after the break!
