Sample size is too small to be taken seriously. Anyway, here’s the top 5 rankings. 1. Yuzuru Hanyu 35 votes 2. Hayao Miyazaki 12 votes - film director and manga artist 3. Junsuke Kinoshita 10 votes - actor & director active in Russia 4. Jun Kondo 9 votes - sushi chef 5. Keisuke Honda 9 votes - professional footballer Whenever TV program mentions 羽生結弦 rating goes up, so go figure.

Even if the photo was taken while he was not in the classroom, still it is cyber bullying, which is becoming a big social issue in many countries. Actually the abundant online hate comments by antis against Yuzu still continues, which sadly tormented him. According to the web page cited in my post Yuzu was not only an outstanding athlete but also a smart student with all-5 (in Japan 5 being the maximum in academic grading) in his middle high school and high school days. Also with his warm and outgoing personality he became very popular at high school as soon as he started his academic year. That's why he was bullied out of jealousy. Some people become bitter or withdrawn after being bullied. Some even become bullies themselves. But instead he became a better person and better athlete. He himself became part of the anti bullying campaign by pausing for the anti bullying campaign poster.

It was posted before. There are some incidents of Yuzu being bullied at high school. https://matome.naver.jp/odai/2151921619502280401 The one on YT is this episode. Soon after he won the world junior championship in 2010 he entered Tohoku High School. He was seated right by the door and during the recess he was asked for his autograph by the classmates and other students including his seniors. To everyone he was willing to give his autograph. One day he was asked for his autograph by a senior student who was a member of the baseball team which was strong enough to compete every year at national high school baseball championship. After signing, he heard a loud banging noise. From behind he heard the guy jeering at him “Don’t get cocky!” and he saw the book he had just autographed thrown into a trash can. You can see another incident of bullying against Yuzu by the photos on the same web page above. These photos posted by the bully herself show his classroom chair covered and soiled with fried noodles and a lunch box. This girl even shows her face (covered in red now) mockingly saying “Tada! This is the seat of the world famous Hanyu.” Also, in his high school days twitter hate comments against Yuzu by bullies were shamefully hateful, and the screenshots of these still remain on the net (perhaps saved by some concerned people.) There are always bullies and haters because of jealousy. I feel to some extent because he was bullied and still is the target of antis (sadly),Yuzu is very much being supportive, caring and respectful to other skaters. You can see how he was taking care of Shoma and feel his warmth. He knows how painful to be at the receiving end. He does not have a mean bone in his body. He is genuinely kind and sweet.

By looking at these men's face you get the idea about sugar face, don't you? Compared to sugar face mayonnaise face is lighter and not so sweet. I remember an interview by Kenji Miyamoto, choreographer, Yuzu told him that he has a complex because he has Japanese face (unlike Kenji's sauce face). Kenji immediately denied by hiding his beard with his fingers and said "you see, without beard, my face is just a typical Japanese one."

Three major categories of men's good looks among Japanese these days are: ▼ しょうゆ顔(shoyu face) - typical Japanese face with subtle facial features. ▼ 塩顔(salt face) - similar to shoyu face but with fair complexioned and clear smooth skin. Slender built. But underneath the fragile appearance are lean muscle and strong mentality. This duality appeals a lot to girls. ▼ ソース顔(sauce face) - like Worcestershire sauce that came from western world, this face is more western like with double eyelid large eyes, higher nose and large mouth. Darker skinned. This site adds more categories such as ▼酢顔(vinegar face), ▼砂糖(sugar face)▼みそ顔(miso face)▼マヨネーズ顔(mayonnaise face), ▼ケチャップ顔(ketchup face), etc. The last ▼オリーブオイル(olive oil face) is for 速水もこみち because of his massive use of olive oil in his cooking show. I never heard of these categories other than the first three though. https://matome.naver.jp/odai/2144177926661256801 Years ago macho type men with wild sauce face were quite popular among Japanese, but over the years what they like to see in men changed. Currently salt face men are the most popular among girls. Yuzu is a typical 塩顔男子(salt face man).

No, I don't think so, after looking at the Lotte's web site. Neither the company's product line nor promotion page offer any special edition chocolate. Lotte is one of the few sponsors of Yuzu who is very selective in signing the endorsement deals. They posted the message on their site congratulating his receiving the People's Honor Award with the photo of Yuzu holding Ghana chocolate package with his image printed. The chocolate bar he's holding is too big for consumers anyway.

Thank you for your great translation. Allow me to add two points. "everything was extremely precious" is the proper and accurate translation, but in the internet slang used these days, the word 尊い means more like awesome or crazy good. Another thing, the ending comment "大好きだー!!ってこと。" seems to me that this fanyu screams her/his love for Yuzu by saying "I love you so much!" instead of "I love it" I admit Japanese is quite ambiguous because for one thing the sentence sometimes omit subject word, so even among us Japanese things often get confused and misunderstood. Above additions are based on just my gut feelings. Thanks again for your translation.

Yes, Yuzu's torso was made by selecting the basic male torsos and modifying them drastically. They sliced the torso vertically to shave off the thickness. The lower body was worked separately and made thinner. Then the upper and lower parts were connected. They comment that the final product is, as you see, the form of Hanyu Senshu with toned muscles from hip to legs--shapely as well as elegant.

Belated greetings to you all. Is this posted already? it's the workshop that created torsos to display Yuzu's costumes in exhibition. http://www.kiiyadisplay.com/library/?lyr=2&cid=229 The original idea was to use mannequins, but they abandoned the use of mannequins. As mannequins have faces with curbed limbs for pausing and they concluded that using them would work against the image of Yuzu because the visual image of his face and body is held vividly in the heart of his fans. They worked day and night for 1 week to complete the 4 torsos which were custom made. They were able to deliver the torsos in the morning before the exhibition started. They say that Yuzu's body is extremely slender and thin. His lean body with low body fat seemed to have been achieved by his physical training. They presume Yuzu shaped his body to pursue his ideal performance. His body is not feminine. His body shape has a beautiful male proportion, and is quite different from typical Japanese male---beautiful body. I hope my translation is enough for now. Anyone who wants to add, please chime in.

This is the ranking run by goo which is an internet search engine and web portal based in Japan. Yuzuru is ranked 2nd in coolest male athletes in Japan. 1. Ichiro (pro baseball player) 2. Yuzuru Hanyu 3. Otani Shohei (pro baseball player) 4. Atsuto Uchida (pro soccer player) 5. Yu Darvish (pro baseball player)

I read Yahoo Japan's article on the backlash of Kozuka's comment and over 1,000 comments submitted by readers. Overwhelming majority disagree with Kozuka, but I do not feel they are bashing Kozuka and hating him. They voiced their disagreements saying that the unsportsmanlike game against Poland is not comparable to Yuzuru's OGM performance at all because Yuzuru fought all out and did the best he could do with the injured ankle. Some are even more offended by Kozuka's another comment "僕は信じてなかったんですよ ちゃんと積み重ねてきた人が優勝するだろうな、と思っていた" which means "I did not believe he would win because I though only the skater who had legitimately achieved the results over and over again would win." Many interpreted his comment as denying Yuzuru's diligent efforts, hard works and self sacrifice to overcome many hardships to attain remarkable achievements in the past leading up to the Olympics.

To me, native speaker of Japanese, Shinya's last Yuzu chan is quick but still sounded as Yuzu chan with very short "zu" The difference between chan and kun: https://www.sljfaq.org/afaq/titles.html As Shinya became closer to Yuzu during the practice session, he might have started calling him affectionately "Yuzu chan."

Thanks for the translation. I am a Japanese and English is my second language. To clarify the last part of the article, the question asked to BO was about new skaters (plural) such as (PC) Olympic silver medalist Zhenya of Russia joining the team to train under him. To this inquiry BO responded that they are hard working athletes with great personalities. He said "It's good for Yuzu too. I am very much looking forward to it." Above is my somewhat word by word translation. Perhaps these new skaters include Boyang and Jason Brown.
