As what it says on the tin: Yamada as Yuri Katsuki, and Yuto as Victor Nikiforov. Yamada becomes a figure skater because of his admiration for Yuto's skating, and Yuto goes back to Japan to coach Yamada to a gold medal.
The other characters are:
The other characters are:
- Chinen as a hybrid between Yurio and Phichit, in that he's both the most intense about wanting to be The Best Skater but also he's a social media god who supports Yamada in his own way. He trains under Yuto, too, at first. (So basically he has Phichit's insta presence and bffship with Yamada, but he has Yurio's dreams/drive/intensity/beauty.)
- Yuya is Otabek, but mostly because he's brimming with talent and has so much to show but did not find his motivation until he saw Chinen's routine. He acts cool (but he's not.)
- Ryutaro is Seung-gil, and he does breakdance and shit on ice. He's super talented but he's aloof with the other skaters. He pretends he's not a crybaby but he cries when he loses competitions. The others try not to dote on him but he's their baby.
- Shida and Kamiki are Yuko and Nishigori who grew up with Yamada.
- Kame is Chris
- Tegoshi is JJ
- Leo is Keito and Daiki is Guang Hong
- Nakaken is Minami who looks up to Yamada and buys all his paparazzi pictures and has watched his routines a hundred times each.
- Inoo, Hikaru and Yabu are the Nishigori triplets (lol)
- Julie is Minako-sensei
- Kimutaku is Yakov. probably.
