Takeshi Nishigori

Takeshi Nishigori is that easygoing childhood pal of Yuuri Katsuki, and these days, he’s happily married to Yuuko. Back in the day, he loved playfully teasing Yuuri about his weight, but Yuuko always had his back. While Takeshi never shared the same obsession with Victor Nikiforov as Yuuri and Yuuko, he’s got a big heart. Nowadays, his laid-back vibe shines through as he offers Yuuri down-to-earth advice, sprinkled with some friendly teasing just like old times. Although he’s hung up his skates, he still cheers for the sport alongside his wife and their adorable daughters.
