“Yuuri, starting today, I’m your coach. I’ll make you win the Grand Prix Final” – Victor

1. Yuuri

   
   Yuuri has stretch marks from rapid weight gain and loss

2. Victor

   
   Victor is actually embarrassed by how he acted when he first came to Hasetsu after realising that Yuuri doesn’t remember the GPF banquet

3. Chris

   
   Chris is near-sighted, so he wears contacts while he’s staking

4. Yuri

   
   Yuri has many nicknames including ‘the ice tighter of Russia,’ ’the Russian fairy’ and ‘Yurio.’ But his least favourite is the one that Victor gave him – ‘neko-chan’ (meaning ‘kitten’)

5. Otabek

   
   Otabek’s character was inspired by the Kazakh skater Denis Ten (who, like Otabek, was born and raised in Almaty). Ten often is given teddy bear plushies after his skates – like the teddy bear Otabek is seen carrying in episode 12
