Please do not identify Yuuri Katsuki with Yuzuru Hanyu. I hope anime fans respect real like skaters like Yuzuru Hanyu, Evgeni Plushenko as well as other skaters. Yuzuru Hanyu is NOT real life Yuri Katsuki, be it personalities or competitive results.

How do you see Yuzuru? My suggestion: Don’t be fooled by his cute and gentle looks. As an Olympic Champion, a World Champion, GPF champion, he is crazily hot-blooded, even more than most top athletes. Yuzuru himself really hates losing not just in skating but in EVERYTHING. Yuzuru is a very aggressive competitor. Below is his USUAL mad expression: 

Yuzuru ALWAYS wants the gold and ALWAYS wants to be Number 1 in everything, be it study or sports, and he works very hard for it. He said in high school, once he placed 2nd in the class and he REALLY HATED it. His record at high school was All 5 which means he was a straight A student. 

Yuzuru has won all junior titles when he was 15, won senior 4CC silver when he was 16, won World Championship bronze medal when he was 17, won GPF silver when he was 18, won Olympic Gold when he was 19, won World Championship when he was 19, won GPF 3 times consecutively, he has broken World Record 10 times ever since he was 17. An athlete of this caliber is NOT full of sugar and pinkness. Yuzuru is very strong willed and he is even against his coach’s wishes. He is full of fire, and if you cross his way badly he might throw you a death stare (just kidding ok).

Yuzuru himself also says when he pushes himself too much, his expression becomes too aggressive like a devil and his coach Tracy Wilson has to stop him from damaging himself. If you are not familiar with Yuzuru Hanyu’s personality, I recommend you watch this video showing most of his serious expressions: https://youtu.be/VRLSjs6r7TA

Yuzuru is tough as hell, he is always willing to compete, he DID NOT withdraw from competition even when he was scheduled to get surgery, even when he fell 5 times because of a nasty collision: https://youtu.be/Jf84VzlzLhI

Anime directors DID NOT create Yuuri Katsuki based on Yuzuru Hanyu. If there is any familiarity, it’s because they are all Japanese and respect a Russian legend. So please stop assuming that things happened to Yuzuru Hanyu would happen to Yuuri Katsuki in anime. 

Yuzuru Hanyu is no one but Yuzuru Hanyu himself. He has many depths to his personalities and he is no anime character. He has trained skating ever since 4, suffered many injuries and hardships to get to where he is now. He is NOT just a pretty face.

I hope anime fans will not get offended because of this post. Please understand that I love anime. I have watched many anime series ever since high school. I understand anime and manga culture very well. I just hope that anime fans draw a line between anime and reality.

SO A GIRL SENT ME MESSAGE SAYING I DO NOT RESPECT ANIME FANDOM. THAT I DO NOT RESPECT ANIME CHARACTERS WHO MEANT A LOT TO THEM. THAT MEANS THEY CAN DO THIS? 

WHO IS DISRESPECTFUL NOW? I wish the anime comes to and end soon and these people will forget about Yuzuru as soon as possible. 

Ew. This is the last straw. Wikipedia is not an anime forum and putting “yuuri without viktor” is really not funny at all. YUZURU IS YUZURU. An independent and talented sportsman in figure skating. AND LET ME BE REALLY HARSH – CHANGING HIS NAME TO YUURI KATSUKI IS REALLY REALLY DISGUSTING.

Such behaviour is downright insulting and it shows that the fan is just an immature child who is unable to understand the fact that sportsmen in the REAL world are NOT the anime characters he/ she is obsessed with.

And such disrespectful actions reflect badly on the entire anime community so what Yuzuru Hanyu and figure skating fans are trying to get across is for certain anime fans to stop forcibly associating real-life figure skaters to 2D characters. And do you realise how bad this reflects on yuzuru if people assess his wikipedia page and all they see is some anime stuff?

Yuzuru is never a mere anime character. He is a person who has contributed tremendously to figure skating and possible a role model to many. He has suffered numerous injuries and hardships to achieve what he is today and to think that even after all these efforts – he is now being labelled as Yuuri Katsuki, a popular anime character that fans all over the world fangirl after – it pains me to the core.

GPF 2016 has just finished and Yuzuru achieved his 4th consecutive win. I had hoped that perhaps all his achievements and all those records he had broken can serve to remind all of you that he is a legendary sportsman – but I am deeply disappointed to see that many anime fans continue to see him as a pretty face that simply resembles the anime character they love.

And yes, I really know that there are a lot of YOI fans who genuinely like Yuzuru Hanyu and I have seen fans who are so sincere in cheering yuzuru on during competitions and I abosulutely love these fans. So I would like to ask for your help to keep your fellow more extreme fans under control and to spread word to the respective anime forums you belong in – for them to stop, really stop, interfering with yuzuru hanyu if they are only interested in yuzuru because he is a seemingly 3D shell for them to vent their obsession for Yuuri Katsuki in real life.

I would be so heartbroken if one day Yuzuru Hanyu is interviewed and all the questions is about YOI. The superficial association of YOI to Yuzuru should stop before it gets out of hand and affects yuzuru’s personal life. So please, figure skating fans and YOI fans who genuinely love yuzuru, please try to convince extreme YOI fans around you to stop doing these things. I really like YOI as well so you have no idea how conflicted I feel when I see one of the fandom I belong to hurting yuzuru hanyu who I love a lot.

I hope you guys understand where I am coming from and there’s ZERO disrespect intended for the anime community. Thank you.
