Oh, and there are a few inaccuracies in this as well. Shizuka Arakawa was not the only female skater to represent Japan in Turin. She was joined by Miki Ando and Fumie Suguri and, uh, Arakawa actually won the Gold.
Maybe you are confusing this with Daisuke Takahashi, who was the only male japanese representative at the Turin Olympics?
I think it's dumb to compare Yuri Katsuki to any figure skater - alive or dead, like seriously HE'S OUR PRECIOUS KATSUDON, HE SHOULD BE PROTECTED! BTW YURI KATSUKI IS TOO PERFECT TO BE COMPARED, HE'S A SKATING GOD JUST LIKE HIS HUSBAND <3 Kubo sensei created someone Unique, SUI GENERIS, so let's all just enjoy YOI for the mindblowing and amazing show that it is ^-^
Actually, he does do amazing step sequences, but he can only do 2 types of quadruple jumps, and he still didn't complete his flip ( which yes, I do know that is a very high scored jump ), which is still a low number compared to the other characters. So, I wouldn't call him "perfect". However he still is an amazing skater, and I hope he wins the GPF, tbh don't want the anime to end yet either.
I still think he's PERFECT! I've never seen anyone skate like that as I have been watching Figure skating for years but never had anyone real or animated blow my head off! He will be a skating legend after he does land Victor's sig. move and WIN THE GOLD AT THE GPF WITH THE HIGHEST SCORE IN HISTORY! - since he was born to make History ;)
Ladies and Gentleman I present to you Katsuki Yuri in Real Life - Katsuki Yuri In Real Life! Now this my friends is what I'm talking about ;) *-* (But well I prefer my Yuri Animated <3)
1. Those are the cosplayers Baozi and Hana . Give credit where it's due.
2. This is. not exactly on topic with this thread.
Yuuri Katsuki? Nope, nobody like him, nobody like him on planet earth. He's an Original Piece aka "One Piece"
I'm going to say Yuzuru Hanyu, but only because the internet told me.

No No Noooooo....Yuuri Katsuki is nothing like Yuzuru Hanyu it's just some delusional dumb fans who want every Anime character to be real and they try to compare any Human being who has ANY similarity with them! The only thing that Yuzuru has in common with Yuuri is that he is a Figure Skater and NOTHING else! Yuuri Katsuki doesn't even LOOK LIKE HIM but no the DELUSIONAL in their FANTASY WORLD fans say oh kyaa blah blah Yuzuru san looks like Yuuri - JFC people NO HE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE YUURI! If fans want to get wet thinking about a real life Yuuri Katsuki then Hana (Baozi&Hana) or any other cosplayer can fulfill that wish because they pull it off quite well. TBH - NO ONE IN THE WOLRD CAN BE LIKE KATSUKI YUURI FIGURE SKATER OR NOT! He's Original and Unique and lets leave it at that. Just like Yuzuru fans do not like Yuuri Katsuki being comapred to him - YUURI KATSUKI FANS ALSO DO NOT LIKE YUZURU HANYU BEING COMPARED WITH HIM! So It's a humble request to all of you who see every picture of Yuzuru and Go kyaa Yuuri, oh Yuuri was inspired from him to STOP, IT'S TIME TO STOP! I love my 'Little Piggy' and he's the most amazing thing I have ever seen and there is Nobody like him! Period so STOP THIS AND LETS JUST ENJOY YURI!!! ON ICE BECAUSE REAL LIFE PEOPLE CAN NEVER EVER BE COMPARED TO THE AMAZING, WOW, BREATHTAKING, PERFECT, SUI GENERIS WORLD OF ANIME!
