In 2010, Rou Shirakawa was a rising star in the figure skating sports. Competing in the All-Japan Junior Figure Skating Championships, he delivered a flawless performance, earning the highest score in history. It was supposed to be the proudest moment of his life, a step toward becoming a world champion. However, everything changed in an instant.
For reasons unknown to many, Rou suddenly lost control. He began rampaging on the ice, destroying the stage that had just celebrated his victory. The once-promising figure skater was immediately disqualified and banned from the sport for life. The world turned against him, and he gained an infamous nickname—”The Rabid Prince.”
With nowhere else to go, Rou found himself in Tamakomai, a town in Hokkaido known for its strong ice hockey culture. There, in the middle of winter, he stumbled upon a frozen lake where a group of tough, relentless players were practicing. These were the Genma brothers, feared and respected for their fierce playing style. Unlike the elegant world of figure skating, this was a battlefield of pure strength, speed, and endurance.
At first, Rou didn’t know what to make of hockey. He had spent his life perfecting graceful jumps and spins, not crashing into opponents or chasing a puck across the ice. But something about the raw energy of the sport drew him in. The intensity, the teamwork, the thrill of competition—these were things he had never experienced in figure skating.
DOGSRED Plot
Through the Genma brothers, Rou learned about Oino-kami High School, a legendary team chasing its 20th consecutive national championship. Their dedication and passion for hockey were unmatched. If Rou wanted to find redemption, this was his chance.
Determined to start over, Rou traded his figure skates for hockey skates. It wasn’t an easy transition. His body was trained for precise movements, not the hard-hitting, fast-paced world of hockey. He struggled, fell, and faced constant doubt. But just as he had once mastered the art of figure skating, Rou refused to give up. He trained harder than ever, pushing himself beyond his limits.
As he adapted to his new sport, something changed inside him. The fire that had once burned out reignited. He no longer wanted to be remembered as the disgraced figure skater—he wanted to prove himself in a new way. Ice hockey became his second chance, a way to turn his past failure into a new beginning.
Rou Shirakawa’s journey is one of redemption, growth, and transformation. He started as a fallen figure skating star, but in Tamakomai, he discovered something even greater—the power of change. Through the unforgiving yet beautiful sport of ice hockey, he found a new dream. And this time, he was determined to seize it.
