About Yuri Katsuki

Yuri Katsuki is a professional skater and the protagonist of Yuri!!! on Ice. After suffering a loss at the Sochi Grand Prix, Yuri returns home to Japan and contemplates taking a break from figure skating. Yuri rejoins the skating world when his idol, Victor Nikiforov, abruptly finds him and says he will start as his coach.

Background

Yuri began skating as a child and took up figure skating at the suggestion of his ballet teacher. At 18, he moved to Detroit to train under coach Celestino Cialdini. The loss of his childhood dog caused Yuri to lose focus during the Sochi Grand Prix and triggered a mental breakdown. Victor's appearance in Yuri's life triggers a complete change. He begins to explore his wants and ideals. He decides on the theme "love" for his skating routines and, with Viktor, begins to discover what love means to him.

Abilities

Yuri's greatest strengths as a figure skater lie in his stamina and step sequences. His finely tuned step sequences and unique spin sequences earn him his reputation in the skating world. As a result of his strong stamina, Yuri often completes his jumps in the second half of his free skate program to earn the point bonus. While Yuri struggles with jumps, under Victor he begins to expand his repertoire of quads. Notably, Yuri is also a skilled dancer, demonstrating abilities in ballet, ballroom, and pole dancing.

Other Important Yuri on Ice!!! Characters

While Yuri's most significant relationship in the show is with Victor Nikiforov, how he interacts with other characters reveals his more relatable flaws.

Phichit Chulanont

Phichit Chulanont is a Thai figure skater that roomed with Yuri during his five-year stay in Detroit. Phichit loves taking photos and social media. This habit can cause problems especially when involving embarrassing shots of fellow pro skaters. Phichit's cheerful, bright demeanor contrasts with Yuri's anxiety and lifts him up in the process. Out of the cast, Phichit is the most supportive of Victor and Yuri's partnership.

Yuri Plisetsky

Yuri Plisetsky is a teenage Russian skater known for both his delicate appearance and cold attitude. Yuri Katsuki encounters him for the first time after the disastrous Sochi Grand Prix results. Despite his age, Yuri Plisetsky terrifies him and shakes his already fragile confidence further. After returning to Russia, Yuri begins training for the upcoming season and embarks on his own journey of self-discovery. As the season progresses, Yuri views Yuri Katsuki as his greatest threat in the skating world and vows to beat him in the Grand Prix.
