On July 2, 2018, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held a ceremony to present the People’s Honor Award at the Prime Minister’s Office to Mr. Yuzuru Hanyu, and conferred upon him the certificate of award and the shield.
 
Mr. Yuzuru Hanyu achieved the historic feat of being the first Japanese person to win two consecutive winter Olympic singles championships, as well as the first male figure skater in 66 years in the entire world to win two consecutive Olympic men’s singles championships in the designated games. He realized the remarkable accomplishment of bringing dreams and wonderment to many Japanese people, and giving society bright hope and courage.
 
The People’s Honor Award recognizes Mr. Yuzuru Hanyu for such an accomplishment.
 
The People’s Honor Award was established in August 1977 to honor individuals respected by a broad spectrum of the people, and whose distinguished achievements have brought the light of hope to society.
