Love him! Such a promising young skater from Japan.
He placed 1st at the Asian Open in the junior category last month and now 4th in his first junior GP with two solid programs. He is musical, has beautiful skating skills, knee-bend to die for that reminds of Shoma Uno or Takahiko Kozuka very nice jumps and spins, he's got it all!
He is the 2022 and 2026 Olympic silver medalist and a two-time Olympic team medalist (Bronze 2022, Silver 2026). He has earned four World silver medals (2021, 2022, 2024, 2026) and is the 2024 Four Continents Champion.
On the Grand Prix circuit, he is the 2025 Grand Prix Final silver medalist and a multi-time medalist at the Japanese National Championships.

he landed his 4T both times, with the second one receiving 3.26 GOE, and both of his skates were very good. I especially enjoyed his short program
