We, Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara, have decided to retire from competitive skating following the end of this season.

We feel deeply grateful to all of you who have supported us from the beginning of our partnership.

“RikuRyu” could not have competed for as long as we have without the help of people around us.

Whenever we faced challenges, someone was right there extending a helping hand.

Each and every one of those acts of support made us stronger and helped us get to where we are today.

We would also like to sincerely thank Kinoshita Group and all of our sponsors, as well as our families and friends who stood by our side at all times.

And of course, we are deeply appreciative of our coach Bruno Marcotte, and the coaching team who supported us every step of the way.

You always believed in us, guided us with positivity, and for that we will forever be grateful.

The time we spent together, sharing both joy and disappointment, is a treasure we value more than anything.

We will never forget any of the things we experienced or the people we met, and will always carry with us a deep sense of gratitude for the support we received.

While our competitive careers are coming to an end, we truly feel that we gave it our all, and have no regrets. We are proud of everything we went through, and feel we gained so much along the way.

The two of us will now take on new challenges so that we can bring wider recognition to pair skating in Japan.

We hope that we can count on you to follow us on our journey.

Once again, thank you for all the years of support.

Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara
