Yuma Kagiyama (鍵山 優真, Kagiyama Yūma, born May 5, 2003) is a Japanese figure skater. He is the 2022 Olympic silver medalist, a three-time World silver medalist (2021, 2022, 2024), the 2024 Four Continents Champion, the 2023–24 ISU Grand Prix Final bronze medalist, the 2020 Four Continents bronze medalist, a five-time Grand Prix medalist (four gold, one bronze), a three-time ISU Challenger Series medalist (two gold, 1 silver), an Olympic silver medalist in the team event (2022),[a] and a four-time Japanese national medalist. At the junior level, Kagiyama is the 2020 Youth Olympic champion, the 2020 World Junior silver medalist, and the 2019–20 Japan Junior national champion.

Kagiyama is the former world junior record holder for the free skate and combined total score under the ISU Judging System. He is known for his skating skills and consistency.

Personal life and education

[edit]

Yuma Kagiyama was born in Karuizawa, Nagano, Japan, and is the son of two-time Olympian Masakazu Kagiyama.[3] He went to Karuizawa Chubu Elementary School before moving to Kanagawa Prefecture where he attended Rokkakubashi Junior High School in Yokohama.[4] Kagiyama graduated from SEISA Kokusai High School in Yokohama in 2022[5] and enrolled at Chukyo University in Nagoya later that year.[6] He is majoring in sports science.[7]

Kagiyama's hobbies include gaming, listening to music, photography, and watching anime.[8] He looks up to Yuzuru Hanyu, Shoma Uno and Nathan Chen.[9]

Competitive career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Kagiyama began skating at the age of 5 at the Kazakoshi Park Ice Arena in Karuizawa where his father was working as a coach.[4] He has been coached by his father since the beginning[10] and describes his father, who treated him the same as his other students,[11] as strict but says that is what allowed him to develop into the skater he is today.[12] Kagiyama slowly started to make a name for himself and won the gold in the Novice A Class at the 2014 Kanto Regional Figure Skating Championships at the age of 11.[13]

Junior career

[edit]

2018–2019 season: International junior debut

[edit]

Kagiyama's father and coach Masakazu suffered an intracerebral hemorrhage, was hospitalized for most of the season, and could not work on coaching the technical aspects. He instead spent time working with choreographer Misao Sato to improve his expression during this period.[14]

Kagiyama opened his season at the 2018 Asian Open Trophy, where he won the junior title ahead of his teammate Tatsuya Tsuboi. He placed fourth at his first Junior Grand Prix event, 2018 JGP Canada. Kagiyama won his first JGP medal, a silver, at 2018 JGP Armenia. He placed fifth at the 2018–19 Japan Junior Championships, and as a result, was invited to the senior championships. Kagiyama placed sixth at the senior level and was chosen as the first alternate for the 2019 World Junior Championships team.[15] He competed as a senior at the 2019 International Challenge Cup and won the silver medal behind teammate Sōta Yamamoto.[16]

2019–2020 season: Youth Olympic gold, World Junior silver, Four Continents bronze

[edit]

Kagiyama won gold at 2019 JGP France with a new junior world record for the combined score.[17] His total was 34.16 points higher than that of silver medalist Aleksa Rakic of Canada.[18] His quadruple toe loop in the free skate set the junior record for the highest valued single jump, before being surpassed by Daniel Grassl's quadruple lutz at 2019 JGP Italy.[19] Kagiyama set a new junior world record in the free skating at 2019 JGP Poland, and surpassed his junior world record for the total score. However, he eventually won silver behind Daniil Samsonov of Russia, who broke his junior world records for free skating and the total score after Kagiyama skated.[20][17] Kagiyama's results qualified him to the 2019–20 Junior Grand Prix Final, where he placed fourth.[21]

Kagiyama at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics

Kagiyama won gold at the 2019–20 Japan Junior Championships by over 37 points ahead of Shun Sato and Lucas Tsuyoshi Honda.[22] As junior national champion, Kagiyama was named to represent Japan at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics and the 2020 World Junior Championships.[23][24] He was also invited to compete in the senior division at the 2019–20 Japan Championships, alongside the rest of the top six finishers in the junior division. Competing at the 2019–20 Japan Championships, Kagiyama placed seventh in the short program and second in the free skate to win the senior national bronze medal.[25] He was not selected to compete at the 2020 World Championships, but was assigned as one of Japan's three entries at the 2020 Four Continents Championships, in addition to his previously earned berth to the 2020 World Junior Championships.[26]

Kagiyama was chosen by the Japanese Olympic Committee as the flag-bearer for the Japanese national team at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics.[27] He won gold at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics ahead of Russians Andrei Mozalev and Daniil Samsonov.[28] Kagiyama was selected by draw to be a member of Team Focus for the team event. He won the men's free skating portion to help Team Focus win the silver medal.[28] At the Four Continents Championships, Kagiyama scored a personal-best 91.61 in his short program, beating his old mark by almost seven points and placing fifth in the segment.[29][30] He rose to the bronze medal overall in the free skate, his first senior ISU championship medal.[31] Finishing the season at the 2020 World Junior Championships, Kagiyama won the short program ahead of Andrei Mozalev.[32] After opening his free skate with a fall on a quad toe loop, he performed the remaining jumps successfully until singling a planned triple Axel as his closing jump and placed fifth in that segment. He remained narrowly in second place overall, ahead of Petr Gumennik, and won the silver medal.[33]

Senior career

[edit]

2020–2021 season: World silver

[edit]

Competing domestically, Kagiyama won gold at Kanto Regionals and the silver medal at the Eastern Sectionals championship, securing a berth at the national championships despite being a seeded skater.[34] Kagiyama was assigned to make his Grand Prix debut at the 2020 NHK Trophy. Kagiyama introduced the quad Salchow into competition in the short program, landing both it and his quad toe loop but singling a planned triple Axel. He nevertheless placed first in the segment, 3.99 points ahead of Kazuki Tomono.[35] In the free skate, he landed three quads cleanly, with his only error being singling a planned triple loop in a combination, but outscored second-place Tomono by almost 45 points, taking the gold medal overall by a 49-point margin.[36] At the 2020–21 Japan Championships, Kagiyama placed second in the short program behind Yuzuru Hanyu and ahead of Shoma Uno, who fell on his attempted jump combination.[37] He was third in the free skate behind Hanyu and Uno and won his second consecutive national bronze medal.[38] As a result, Kagiyama was named to the 2021 World Championships team, alongside Hanyu and Uno.

Kagiyama's father and coach, Masakazu, had recovered from the effects of his intracerebral hemorrhage in June 2018 that had prevented him from accompanying his son to international competitions since, and was able to travel to watch him compete in Stockholm.[39] Kagiyama scored a personal best of 100.96 in the short program, landing two clean quads and a triple Axel to place behind Hanyu and in front of Nathan Chen.[40] He subsequently won the small silver medal for the short program. In the free skate, he skated second-to-last behind Chen and held onto his second place, landing three clean quads and putting up a personal best of 190.81. He won the silver medal and became the youngest medalist at Worlds since Hanyu's bronze medal at the 2012 World Championships.[41] Kagiyama's placement combined with Hanyu's bronze medal position qualified three berths for Japanese men at the 2022 Winter Olympics.[42] Masakazu, whose personal best at the World Championships was sixth place in 1994, expressed approval that his son had bettered this on his first attempt.[39] Kagiyama also began working on a quad loop in the spring of 2020 and landed it successfully in practice. He then began to stabilize the quad loop and practice a quad Lutz, intending that the more stable quad would be added to his programs for the following season.[43]

2021–2022 season: Beijing Olympics and World Silver

[edit]

While practicing the quad Lutz in late August, Kagiyama suffered a bone contusion on his right hand that required a cast to be worn for two weeks.[44] Despite this, he debuted his new programs at the domestic Gensan Summer Cup just a few days later, making several errors in both programs but finishing second overall.[45] Kagiyama made his international season debut at the Asian Open Trophy in October. He skated an almost clean short program, with the only mistake being a doubled planned triple toe loop on the back of his combination, and took the lead.[46] In the free skate, Kagiyama attempted the quad loop for the first time in competition, which was landed with a step out. He also made mistakes on two other quads but still won the free skate and the gold medal.[47]

Kagiyama's first Grand Prix assignment was scheduled to be the 2021 Cup of China, but following its cancellation, he was reassigned to the 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia in Turin.[48] Considered the pre-event favourite, he performed poorly in the short program, placing seventh of twelve after multiple jump errors.[49] Kagiyama mounted a comeback in the free skate, his only error being a turnout on his opening quad Salchow attempt, winning that segment and the gold medal. His free skate score was a new personal best.[50] At this second event, the 2021 Internationaux de France in Grenoble, Kagiyama won both segments of the competition to take his second Grand Prix gold of the season and defeat silver medalist and domestic rival Shun Sato by 21.42 points.[51] Despite this convincing win, he said afterward that there was "much more regret than happiness" with regard to the second "disastrous" second half of his free skate, which featured three jump errors, including a singled attempt at a triple Axel. His two gold medals qualified him for the Grand Prix Final, which he said was important for him as it was to be held in Japan.[52] However, the Final was subsequently cancelled due to restrictions prompted by the Omicron variant.[53] At the 2021–22 Japan Championships, Kagiyama was third in the short program after falling on his quad toe loop attempt. He was second in the free skate, with his only error being a step out on a triple Axel, winning his third consecutive national bronze medal. Kagiyama was named to the Japanese Olympic team the following day.[54]

Kagiyama made his debut at the 2022 Winter Olympics as the Japanese men's entry in the free skate segment of the Olympic team event. Kagiyama landed a quad loop, albeit with a turnout, but otherwise skated clean and won the segment with a new personal best score of 208.94 points, securing ten points for the Japanese team.[55] He became the third skater to score over 200 points in the free skate under the post-2018 scoring system, after Nathan Chen and Yuzuru Hanyu. Despite this, Kagiyama vowed, "no matter how well I perform, no matter how I'm satisfied, I know there’s a few above me. I still have some catching up to do."[56] Team Japan won the bronze medal, Kagiyama's first Olympic medal, and the first time the country had made the podium in the team event.[57] Competing two days later in the men's event short program, he skated cleanly with a new personal best score of 108.12, finishing second in the segment. He said, "I thought I was going to be nervous, but I was having fun from beginning to the end."[58] Kagiyama placed second in the free skate as well, making only one error when he stepped out of a quad loop, scoring 201.93 points for a combined score of 310.05, clearing 300 points for the first time.[59] Reflecting on his experience with his father, Kagiyama said, "we've strived and experienced things together these past few years aiming for the Olympics. That led to me getting the silver, and it was great sharing that joy."[60]

Kagiyama concluded his season at the 2022 World Championships in Montpellier. With both Chen and Hanyu absent due to injury, Olympic medalists Shoma Uno and Kagiyama were rated as top contenders for the gold medal. Kagiyama turned out of the landing of his triple Axel in the short program but still ranked second in the segment with a score of 105.69, 3.94 points behind Uno.[61] He struggled more with his jumps in the free, but was second in that segment as well, winning his second consecutive World silver medal.[62]

2022–2023 season: Injury troubles

[edit]

Due to a left foot injury sustained over the summer, Kagiyama missed the Grand Prix series.[63] In spite of this, he announced in early December that he intended to compete at the 2022–23 Japan Figure Skating Championships, against his father's advice to withdraw and prioritize recovery.[64] Competing with reduced technical content, Kagiyama struggled somewhat with his jumps in both programs, singling a planned triple Axel in the short program and making mistakes on both quadruple Salchows in the free skate. He finished in eighth place. Despite what he deemed a "far from satisfactory" result, he stated he did not regret competing in the event and was now committed to fully healing his injury.[65] He subsequently withdrew from the 2023 Winter World University Games to focus on recovery.[66]

2023–2024 season: Grand Prix Final bronze medal, Four Continents gold, and World Silver

[edit]

In early August, Kagiyama participated at the Kinoshita Trophy, a domestic competition within Japan. Placing fourth in the short program after falling on both triple axel and quadruple salchow attempts, Kagiyama then placed third in the free skate. He ultimately finished third overall, winning the bronze medal. Later that month, it was announced that Carolina Kostner had joined his coaching team.[67][68] Making his return to international competition in early September, Kagiyama won the gold medal at the 2023 CS Lombardia Trophy.[69] Later the same month, he participated in the domestic Tokyo Regional championships. Despite falling on his quadruple Salchow attempt in the short program, Kagiyama placed first after the segment and then performed a clean free skate, winning the event by over 30 points and qualifying for the 2023–24 Japan Figure Skating Championships.[70] Kagiyama then represented Chukyo University at the West Japan Intercollegiate Championships in October. He won the free skate-only competition with a clean program, scoring 198.06 points.[71]

On the Grand Prix, Kagiyama's first assignment was the 2023 Grand Prix de France, facing a difficult field that included defending champion Adam Siao Him Fa and 2023 World bronze medalist Ilia Malinin. Kagiyama placed third in the short program, less than four points behind Malinin and Siao Him Fa and almost eleven points clear of fourth-place Lukas Britschgi. Two jump errors in the free skate saw him place fourth in that segment, narrowly behind Britschgi, but he remained in third overall and took the bronze medal.[72] Kagiyama skated a clean short program at his second assignment at NHK Trophy in Osaka, achieving a new season's best score of 105.51. He was second in the free skate after a fall on a triple Axel, placing second after countryman Shoma Uno with 182.88 points, but managed to win the gold overall and qualified for the Grand Prix Final with an accumulated score of 288.39.[73] Looking ahead, he said that "this will be my first Grand Prix Final, so I still have many things to work on."[74]

Kagiyama performing his short program at the 2024 World Championships

Kagiyama placed third in the short program at the Final in Beijing, 3.18 points behind Malinin in first place.[75] He made only one mistake in the free skate, doubling one of his two planned quads. He placed fourth in that segment, but maintained his standing after the short program to win the bronze medal.[76] At the 2023–24 Japan Championships at the end of the month, Kagiyama was third in the short program after falling on a quad Salchow.[77] He won the free skate with a clean performance, rising to second overall.[78] Kagiyama competed at the 2024 Four Continents Championships in Shanghai in early February where he scored 106.82 points to win the short program.[79] Two days later, he broke the 200-barrier with 200.76 points to win the free skate and the 300-barrier with 307.58 in total to win the championships.[80]

At the 2024 World Championships in Montreal, Kagiyama came narrowly second in the short program, 1.37 points behind segment leader Uno and just ahead of Malinin in third. In the free skate, his only error came with a fall on a triple Axel, and he came narrowly third in the segment, but had the second-highest program component marks behind American Jason Brown. He remained second overall, winning another World silver medal.[81]

During the 2024 Paris Olympics, a medal ceremony was held for Kagiyama and his teammates from the 2022 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event, where they were awarded their Olympic silver medals.[82]

2024–2025 season

[edit]

Kagiyama began the season by competing at the 2024 CS Lombardia Trophy, finishing second to Ilia Malinin.[69]

Skating technique and style

[edit]

Kagiyama has been commended for his strong skating skills, speed and soft knee bend. His father stressed the importance of basic skating skills and technique,[12] and from an early age, when Kagiyama was still only doing single jumps, his father used to chase him around the rink in order for him to get used to jump take-offs at high speed.[83]

[edit]

Endorsements

[edit]

Kagiyama has contracts with multiple partners and most notably has an affiliate sponsorship agreement with Japanese foods and beverage company Oriental Bio that was announced in late October 2021.[84] Other partners include healthcare consumer companies Colantotte[13] and Kowa,[85] cosmetological equipment company ARTISTIC&CO,[86] as well as retail brands Balance Style[87] and Nojima.[8] In May 2024, Kagiyama signed a sponsorship agreement with car manufacturer Suzuki.[88]

Books and magazines

[edit]

On June 23, 2022, Kagiyama released his first photo book entitled GO FOR THE TOP. The book contains photos from his early years as a novice to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.[89] Kagiyama graced the cover of International Figure Skating Magazine in October 2021.[90]
