About Victor Nikiforov
Victor Nikiforov is a skating legend. The anime follows Yuri's revival in figure skating under the guidance of Victor.
About Victor Nikiforov: Background
Victor is considered a living legend in men's figure skating. He has won five consecutive World Championships and had reached the top of figure skating despite being only 16 years old. He was coached by Yakov Feltsman back in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
He is known for his captivating and flirtatious nature. One of his strengths is his ability to create new and breathtaking programs which catch the audience's heart. He is very free-spirited and easy-going and does not like being told what to do. This often does not go well with Yakov, with Yakov often yelling in exasperation.
Despite being a living legend, he is seen to be a bit of an airhead and often forgets a lot of things. He also knows what he is capable of and is able to use his strengths to his full potential to captivate his audience. He is also very much in control of all of himself, but is not accustomed to others' emotions and is unable to adapt well and show the necessary reactions. Hence he often acts awkward in the face of explosive emotions.
About Victor Nikiforov: Abilities
Victor is known for his incredible jump skill. His signature move is the quadruple flip but can also cleanly land three other quad jumps. Most notably he is able to land a triple axel with a back counter entrance and a quad toe-triple toe combination, at the end of his program. One of his weaknesses is his stamina, which means he places most of his jumps near the start of his program and allows his presentation score to make up for the lost points.
One of his other strengths is his talent for choreography. He had choreographed “Stay Close to Me” and “On Love: Eros and Agape,” all of which became winning performances. He is able to create choreographies that play to the skater's strengths, bringing out their full potential.
Other Important Yuri!!! on Ice Characters
Victor’s main interaction is with Yuri Katsuki and Yuri Plisetsky. Their relationships are the focal points of the anime and intertwine dramatically.
Yuri Katsuki
Yuri Katsuki is a male figure skater, who while is famous, also has a very delicate heart. Due to this he falls into a pit of depression and rethinks his career after multiple losses. Victor and Yuri first meet after Victor sees a video of Yuri copying an advanced skating routine, which Victor had performed before. He comes to Japan to visit Yuri and offers to coach him and help revive Yuur’s skating career. Yuri has been a massive fan of Victor as a child and is his inspiration for skating. Yuri’s goal as a figure skater was to reach or surpass Victor’s level.
Yuri Plisetsky
As a child Yuri Plisetsky greatly admired Victor and idolized him. They both trained at the same rink, as they were both trained by Yakov. Victor first notices Yuri when he attempts a quad salchow during the competition, which was forbidden as Yuri was too young and his body could not handle such intense jumps. Victor proposes choreographing a program for Yuri if he wins a competition without quad jumps. This motivates Yuri to work harder as a figure skater. Yuri’s idolization of Victor disappears when he quits competitive skating to become a coach for Yuri.
