Lausanne was the best result to date for the unbelievably consistent Japanese powerhouse who manages to have a real lightness of touch for such a tall guy. With his ability to score well in the Run section, Lausanne may have been his first final but seems unlikely to be his last. He seems totally unintimidated, which will also work in his favor going forward. With his methodical approach, application, and intensity, Yukito was rewarded with 17th position in the final standings in Tokyo 2020. A relatively low international profile means he could well prove a stealth prospect for the future if he continues to improve as rapidly as he has over the last few years.
