"Yuri!!! On Ice" Character Designer Illustrates Tribute To Skater Evgenia Medvedeva

This weekend, Yuri!!! on Ice teamed up with the International Skating Union World Team Trophy in Tokyo for an event where Russian figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva shined with record-breaking wins in the ladies short and long programs, plus a Sailor Moon performance that had the internet talking. This was also the first skating event that YoI character designer and Gainax vet Tadashi Hiramatsu caught since the anime aired, and the impressed artist had a chance to prepare a tribute to that accomplished fan of the show.

 

 

 

In other YoI doings, there's a teaser for the collaboration with Sunshine City Prince Hotel in Ikebukuro, Tokyo
