Yuzuru Hanyu (羽生 結弦; born December 7, 1994) is a Japanese figure skater and ice show producer, widely considered one of the greatest athletes in the sport’s history. Celebrated for his technical mastery, artistry, longevity, and global influence, he began skating at age four and competed in men’s singles from 2004 to 2022.
Hanyu made history as the first men’s singles skater in 66 years—since Dick Button—to win consecutive Olympic gold medals (2014, 2018), and he became the first Asian man to claim Olympic gold in the discipline. He is a two-time World champion (2014, 2017), a six-time Japanese national champion (2012–2015, 2020–2021), and the first singles skater to capture four straight Grand Prix Final titles (2013–2016).
With his victory at the 2020 Four Continents Championships, Hanyu completed the coveted “Super Slam,” becoming the first men’s singles skater to win every major junior and senior international title. He is also the only singles skater to top the ISU World Standings for five consecutive seasons (2014–2018). Over the course of his career, he broke world records 19 times—the most in singles skating under the ISU Judging System introduced in 2003—and was the first to land a quadruple loop in international competition, among numerous other milestones.
