Sekai Bunka Sha Co., Ltd. released the 'Kateigaho May Issue' and 'Kateigaho May Issue Premium Light Edition' on Wednesday, April 1st, featuring an eight-page special exploring the appeal of Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic figure skating pair gold medalists Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara, affectionately known as 'RikuRyu.'

Introducing excerpts from our exclusive photoshoots and interviews from the April 2023 and January 2026 issues

Kateigaho previously achieved exclusive coverage in our April 2023 issue, before their first world championship victory, and in our January 2026 issue, before the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics where they won gold, both of which received a tremendous response. To celebrate the pair's gold medal, we are specially presenting some of the most impressive comments from those interviews, accompanied by precious, previously unpublished photographs.

"Ryuichi-kun is someone who does important things right away. He is positive." — Riku Miura "Riku-chan displays amazing concentration once she gets into the zone." — Ryuichi Kihara (Both from the April 2023 issue)

Contribution: "Coach Bruno's take on the strengths of the RikuRyu pair after the Olympics"

Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara never forget to express their gratitude to those around them. One person who has had a profound influence on them is their coach, Bruno Marcotte. In this issue, we present a contribution by non-fiction writer Akiko Tamura regarding the strengths of the RikuRyu pair as described by Coach Bruno after the Olympics.

Coach Bruno explains: "In pairs, it's not just about yourself; your partner's actions depend on your career. Trust means believing that each of you will properly do what you need to do. And it means being there for your partner no matter what happens."
