"When Arakawa-san was competing here, I was still in the little kids' group, so I didn’t really see her practice. I think my older sister had just moved up to the athlete course around that time?" 2 "Now at this rink, I'm being carefully coached by Nanami Abe-sensei, and Soji Tanaka-sensei is helping me with my Axel. There's also Marie Arai-sensei and Ai Musha-sensei, and everyone cheers me on, saying 'Do your best!' It's really encouraging." 3 During rehearsal for Dream on Ice. 4 At the All-Japan Junior training camp, in the track and field training room. A 13-year-old playing with a balance ball like a cat. 5 A few days later, during a special participation in a senior training camp, he succeeded in landing a triple Axel! "Right before I jumped, I fell really hard, scraped my left elbow, and it bled a lot. But while I was practicing, licking my elbow myself, I managed to land the Axel!" 6 At the All-Japan Junior training camp. Among the male skaters, there are many who are not shy about dancing. 7・9 Interview near the rink while eating ice cream. "I used to mix melon soda and cola from the drink bar a lot." In fact, he was doing the same thing that day. 8 At the All-Japan Junior Championships, before the free skate. 10 What is the origin of the name "Yuzuru"? "Like the taut string of a bow and arrow, so that I can live with my head held high... I think that's what it meant." 11 With elite junior skaters, including athlete Yuki Nishino. "I get along well with Kohei Yoshino from Nagoya too. He's funny."

This generous gift was made possible thanks to Tatsuya Noike, Professor Emeritus of Tohoku University. Hanyu’s grandfather, who worked at the Tohoku Regional Construction Bureau (now Basque Co., Ltd.), had a close relationship with Professor Noike through radiation research conducted during river surveys. Additionally, thanks to a connection through Mr. Yutaka Onuma, a resident of the Oguni area who participated in the Renewable Energy Promotion Association founded by Professor Noike, a link was formed between Hanyu and our school. After his victory parade in Sendai, Hanyu visited his family home and heard from his grandfather about Oguni Elementary School. Upon learning that our school was affected by the nuclear accident following the Great East Japan Earthquake, he said he would be honored to support us and wrote a message and signed the panel. We plan to unveil this special gift at the school sports day on the 20th.
