Takeshi Nishigori

As a former rink mate and childhood companion to Yuuri Katsuki, this easygoing individual shares a long, complicated history with the skater. Though he used to tease Yuuri about his weight during their youth, his current relationship with his friend and his wife, Yuuko, is defined by friendly banter and practical, blunt advice. While he no longer competes seriously, he remains a dedicated figure skating enthusiast alongside his wife and daughters.
