With the rapid spread of the internet and the rise of social media enabling anyone to share content, we’ve also seen an overflow of fake news and the spread of misinformation during disasters. Because it has become so easy to “connect,” I think the world has also become a place where it’s harder to know what to trust.

At the age of 12, he became the youngest skater in history to stand on the podium at the All-Japan Junior Championships. At 14, in his first appearance at the World Junior Championships, he had already declared, “I will become the second gold medalist from Japan.” He won the World Junior Championship at 15, earned a bronze medal at the World Championships at 17, and at 19, he achieved a remarkable triple crown: Olympic gold, World Championship title, and Grand Prix Final victory. At 20, he became the first skater in history to surpass the 300-point mark. "It was so frustrating, it actually made me happy." "I want to become a legend. I want to engrave the name Yuzuru Hanyu in history." "From now on, I need to create battles within myself." "I'm going to become the absolute champion." From his gentle and refined appearance, it's hard to imagine the strong will he possesses. Yet, what emerges is the “Hanyu Mind” driven by that will, and the resulting “Method of the Absolute Champion.” Prologue: The "Hanyu Method" that opened the door to becoming a world champion Chapter 1: Junior years 2008-2010 Age 13 to 15 Chapter 2: Senior debut 2010-2011 Age 15 to 16 Chapter 3: In the days of the Great East Japan Earthquake 2011 Age 16 Chapter 4: One year after the disaster 2011-2012 Age 16 to 17 Chapter 5: Crossing the ocean 2012-2013 Age 17 to 18 Chapter 6: Sochi Olympics 2013-2014 Age 18 to 19 Chapter 7: Proof of champion 2014-2015 Age 19 to 20 Chapter 8: The adventures of an absolute champion 2015-2016 Age 20 to 21 *Includes unpublished photos taken by Number

A temporary memorial page was set up until August 2025, including parts of the previously paid interview.) Yuzuru Hanyu x Hidefumi Kurihara: 12 years of support "Everything is for the best performance" In 2003, Ajinomoto Co., Inc., as an official partner of the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC), launched the joint venture "Victory Project®". This is an activity that provides conditioning support to Japanese national team athletes and top athletes who are candidates for the JOC through "food and amino acids", helping them to achieve their aspirations. One of the athletes who receives this support is figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu. Ajinomoto Co., Inc. has been providing conditioning support to Yuzuru Hanyu since before the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics in 2014. This time, a conversation between Yuzuru Hanyu and Hidefumi Kurihara, leader of the "Victory Project®", who has supported Hanyu's success for many years, was realized. He spoke passionately about building a body through food, his memories of the Olympics, and more. The interview video can be viewed on the memorial site here. https://www.ajinomoto.co.jp/sports/vp/2025hanyuyuzuru-memorial/
