The following section has been extracted from the article Yuzuru Hanyu and serves as a testing space.
Personal life and education
[edit]Since Hanyu began carrying a Winnie-the-Pooh tissue box to competitions in 2010, his supporters and fans eventually made it a custom to acknowledge the end of his performances by throwing Pooh bears onto the ice instead of other kinds of stuffed toys or gifts, which has been a tradition in figure skating. Hanyu donates the bears to disadvantaged children at local hospitals and charities surrounding the arena that hosted the event.[1][2]
Hanyu studied at Nanakita Elementary and Junior High School.[3] In 2013, Hanyu graduated from Tohoku High School then entered an e-school program on Human Information Science at Waseda University.[4][5][6] He attended the school from his training base in Canada.[7] In August 2020, it was revealed that his graduation thesis summarizes how 3D motion capture technology could be used in figure skating, and in particular its potential for use in figure skating judging.[8] One area of research he did is recording and analyzing his movement while doing the triple Axel jump off-ice which he hopes can be used to improve the skills of athletes and AI judging.[9] He officially graduated from the university in September 2020, but was unable to attend the ceremony due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan.[10] In March 2021, a bulletin paper summarizing his graduation thesis was published in the Waseda Journal of Human Sciences.[11]
In Ice Shows
[edit]"Conquest of Paradise" was used in a collaboration program performed by the two-time Olympic figure skating gold medalist Yuzuru Hanyu and three-time Olympic gymnastics champion Kohei Uchimura. Hanyu's solo skating part was choreographed by the Canadian choreographer David Willson[12]. The program that merged the sports of figure skating and artistic gymnastics was performed in the ice show Yuzuru Hanyu Notte Stellata (羽生結弦 notte stellata) held on March 10–12, 2023, at the Sekisui Heim Super Arena in Rifu, Miyagi[13]. Notte Stellata was a commemoration event for the 12th anniversary of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, also known as the "Great East Japan Earthquake" or "3.11"[14].
Takaya Susukida and Tatsuki Fujimaki were the gymnastic advisors. The program was inspired by the theme of challenge to the unknown.
