Character

Minako Okukawa

奥川 ミナコ

Minako Okukawa is a former ballerina who currently teaches ballet at her studio in Hasetsu. She is Yuuri Katsuki's ballet teacher. Minako is an energetic and outgoing person, often striking ballet poses whenever she gets enthusiastic about something. She insists on manners, discipline, and body management, though she also enjoys alcohol, which contradicts her emphasis on manners and causes her to be quite brash and loud. She tries to keep Yuuri motivated as a skater, because the number of youth in Hasetsu is declining, putting her job as a ballet teacher in peril.
