On April 24th, 2014, a parade commemorating Yuzuru Hanyu’s gold medal in the Men’s Singles event in the Sochi 2014 Olympics took place in Sendai, with a recorded number of 92,000 spectators present. Hanyu’s high school, Tohoku High School, 61 people people were tasked to decorate the parade with flowers. Endou-sensei, the teacher in charge, reveals that Hanyu is the type that “moves towards the direction of what they believe in, and what they want” since the very beginning.
Endou-sensei, Hanyu’s tenth grade mathematics teacher, said that “[Hanyu’s] Test score were always 90% or higher, and always handed in homework and assignments on time.” He was not only good at mathematics, but was also brilliant in language arts and other subjects. Although he was always on the move because of his various figure skating competitions, Hanyu was still able to keep up with his scary high results. Endou-sensei once asked Hanyu: “Why are you so serious in your academics as well?”, to which he replied to: “In order to challenge the world, of course I would need to train my brain as well.”
Eight years later, once again left to Tohoku High School’s members to organize the parade, Endou-sensei praises his former student, saying “Even if Hanyu is on a plane, he will still diligently complete his homework. He trains both his body and mind very maturely.”
