Yuzuru Hanyu vs Shohei Ohtani: The Great Handsomeness Debate Explored

Reader’s Question:
Is Yuzuru Hanyu, the ice skater, really handsome? My kids say he’s super handsome, but I think he looks just average (when considering just his face). Personally, I think Shohei Ohtani is more handsome.

The Handsome Debate and Personal Preferences

Recently, I’ve heard discussions about the handsome rivalry between Yuzuru Hanyu and Shohei Ohtani. I believe both possess remarkable
charm as athletes, but taste in looks varies from person to person. Hearing children praise Hanyu as “handsome” certainly reflects a sense of youth and purity. However, I do find him to be just average.

The Divergence of Tastes

For my personal taste, Ohtani takes the crown. His masculinity and strength stand out, especially as he competes on a global stage. Hanyu is impressive as well, but his image feels somewhat delicate, which isn’t my preference. Considering these differences in taste is fascinating. For example, one of my friends is a fan of Hanyu, captivated by his performances and expressiveness. Listening to her talk about him offers a different perspective.

What Defines Handsomeness?

There are individuals like Tori Matsuzaka and Masaki Okada, who could be universally agreed upon as handsome. Ultimately, the definition of handsomeness varies for each person. It can be influenced by personality, expression, and above all, the aura someone possesses. I once asked a friend, “Why do people say that person is handsome?” She replied, “It’s because their kindness shines through.” That perspective was enlightening.

Value Your Preferences

In the end, cherishing your own preferences is what matters most. It’s essential to select what feels comfortable to you, free from societal judgments or trends. I love taking time to refresh myself by reading my favorite books during breaks at my job in a judicial scrivener’s office. Just the other day, I arrived at work a bit early and enjoyed some sweets at a nearby café, where I unexpectedly struck up a conversation with an elderly lady about literature. These small moments enrich our daily lives.

What Are Your Preferences?

So, what do you think? Who do you find more handsome, Hanyu or Ohtani? I’d love to hear your definitions of handsomeness and any memorable encounters in the comments. I’m looking forward to exploring the differences in our tastes.
