World champion figure skater Yevgenia Medvedeva recently toured Japan, which makes plenty of sense.
Not only does the Russian excel in what has become a national sport in Japan, but she also is a lover of Japanese anime TV series.
On a trip through Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, Medvedeva was invited to compete on a Japanese TV show. She danced in an outfit from the 1990s anime series “Sailor Moon,” and said she played air hockey and had to balance on one leg, according to Russian media.
Medvedeva dressed as “Sailor Moon” for exhibition skates in Japan the last two years.
