The only time I saw Yuzuru skate live was at the 2016 worlds in Boston.

As a pro, does he skate in the USA or Canada? The Japanese are so lucky to see him skate many times.

He didn't skate in the USA or Canada. As per his own words, he prefers to get fans to come to Japan.

Figure skating icon Hanyu hopes performance allay future disaster damage (March 10):

INTERVIEW: Figure skating icon Hanyu hopes performance allay future disaster damage

Figure skating icon Yuzuru Hanyu believes it is his mission to maintain the memory of the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami disaster that devastated his home region of northeastern Japan, using his talents on the ice to honor its victims.

SENDAI - Figure skating icon Yuzuru Hanyu believes it is his mission to maintain the memory of the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami disaster that devastated his home region of northeastern Japan, using his talents on the ice to honor its victims.
Speaking on Tuesday in his native Sendai, the biggest city of the Tohoku region, where the magnitude-9.0 quake and tsunami struck, claiming some 15,900 lives, the two-time Olympic gold medalist said he was still physically affected by the experience.
"My body stiffens like a conditioned reflex, even during a minor tremor of 1 (on the Japanese seismic intensity scale of 7). I feel the fear," said Hanyu, who was a first-year high school student practicing at his local rink when the earthquake struck.
His house was "completely destroyed" by the disaster, which impacted large swathes of Miyagi, Iwate and Fukushima prefectures and triggered a nuclear disaster. More than 2,500 people remain unaccounted for.

Hanyu... has been continuing his journey on the rink as a professional figure skater, performing in his own three-day ["Notte Stellata"] event through Monday.
"With 15 years passing, I can send my message out more strongly," said the skater, who performed his new program "Happy End" to a 6,000-plus audience on each of the days.
"We need to keep preparing in the face of disasters that could happen again at any moment. As someone who experienced March 11, I want to keep the message alive five, 10 years from now for disaster mitigation."
