Tokyo Ghoul creator Sui Ishida shares stunning figure skating fan art to celebrate World Champion Yuzuru Hanyu’s Beijing Winter Olympics performance.
World Champion figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu became the first person to ever attempt a quad axel in competition at this year’s Winter Olympics. While the Japanese athlete did not successfully land the challenging jump, his ambition and determination received a wealth of praise from fans, including Tokyo Ghoul’s mangaka, Sui Ishida.
Ishida posted a drawing of Hanyu on Twitter after the conclusion of the Men’s Free Skate competition with the caption, “That was so cool.” The image sees the skater staring off into the distance and wearing a blueish-green outfit that resembles his Free Skate costume. This is not the first time Ishida has created fan art of Hanyu, having previously illustrated the skater after he secured gold at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Moreover, Hanyu has often expressed his love for Tokyo Ghoul, posting pictures of himself recreating panels from the manga.
