Yuzuru Hanyu's father retired... Dedication to his life as a skater who accompanied him to practice late at night while working as a teacher

I sincerely hope that this day will bring you some hope. The special show, in which he skated in the disaster-stricken area on the day of "3.11," was held in Rifu-cho, a town adjacent to Sendai City. In fact, a few days before the show, Hanyu's "loved ones" were facing a turning point in their lives in the same town. Hanyu's father, who is the principal of a junior high school in Rifu Town, is now 60 years old and will retire this spring.

He was appointed principal of a junior high school in the town of Rifu two years ago. When he left for his new post, everyone was talking about it, saying, "Yuzuru Hanyu's father is coming," and "What a great person is coming! According to a local resident of another junior high school where my father served as principal, "He was a modest man, and everyone around him treated him as a normal principal. However, he did talk about Yuzuru to the students. He was also a great supporter of his son's skating career at home. When Yuzuru moved his training base to Canada in 2012, his mother accompanied him, so his father and his sister, who is four years older than Yuzuru, lived together at their home in Sendai. On her days off, she would spend her time working hard for her son. "For a while, the person who polished Hanyu's skates was in Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture, and his father regularly drove several hours from Sendai to Hachinohe to have his shoes polished," said a person involved in figure skating.

In "external negotiations" such as contracts, it seems that his father often took the front seat.

"Sometimes, his father was together with the lawyer who is the representative director of his private firm, team Sirius," said a media source. This magazine has witnessed Hanyu practicing at the rink for an hour or so after midnight on more than one occasion, and his father accompanied him each time.

In an interview, Hanyu once said of his family, "My parents and my sister and I have been together for a long time. Hanyu once said about his family in an interview: "To my parents and sister, I was and still am the eldest and youngest son of the Hanyu family.

I want to be the son of my parents, and I always feel happy to be so. Hanyu's full-bodied dance in his hometown must have been a "dance of gratitude" to his father, who is about to retire.
