Yuma Kagiyama celebrated his 22nd birthday on the 5th of this month. To mark the occasion, Kagiyama hosted a special fan interaction event titled “Yuma Kagiyama Birthday Fan Meeting.” The event took place in Koto Ward, Tokyo, and was attended by 50 lucky members of the sports SNS community app “GOATUS,” who had been selected by lottery.
It was a first-of-its-kind initiative for his birthday, featuring activities such as a barbecue, a secret event, and a giveaway of Kagiyama’s personal items through a raffle, all designed to deepen the connection with his fans.
He personally handed out gifts to each participant and enjoyed a giant birthday cake adorned with marzipan figurines modeled after his skating figure.
“Initially, I was nervous because I had no idea what to expect…” Kagiyama reflected. However, he smiled as he added, “Unlike a regular talk show, I was able to interact and chat directly with the fans in a more personal way, and it ended up being so much fun.”
Looking ahead, Kagiyama has set his sights on next year’s major goal: the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics scheduled for February. Turning another year older on this day, he shared his determination: “In the skating world, once you surpass age 20, you’re considered a veteran at the top level. That’s why I want to cherish this year and give it my all while enjoying every moment.”
