Prologue (プロローグ) was a solo ice show by Japanese figure skater and two-time Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu in 2022, organized by TV Asahi, CIC Co., Ltd., and Team Sirius.

Since the late 1980s, ice shows experienced a shift towards smaller casts with elite international skaters, including multiple Olympic and world champions.

[3][5]: 2  Hanyu's preparations included a significant improvement of his stamina, five practice run-throughs of the full show, and a new approach to commitment and pacing,[6][7] stating: "I'm used to emptying the tank for one skate.

"[8] Three-time world champion Patrick Chan from Canada expressed his respect for Hanyu's accomplishment: "Just one person, without any group dancing in the middle?

[10]: 2  Tsugaru-shamisen player Kōki Nakamura co-starred as a guest artist and performed live with Hanyu to the song "Change [ja]" from Monkey Majik and the Yoshida Brothers.

[11][6] Unlike most ice shows where skaters perform in a dimly lit arena,[10] Hanyu opened Prologue at full lighting with an unconventional six-minute warm-up session and a four-minute version of his Olympic free skate program Seimei, reproducing the setting and atmosphere of a competition.

[13][14] Despite the physical strain of a 90-minute solo show, the program featured two quadruple jumps and three triple Axels, a technical merit that exceeded the difficulty of a common exhibition performance.

[3][15]: 2  The show setting allowed Hanyu to circumvent the repetition rules of figure skating competitions and include more than two triple Axel jumps in his program.

[21][17] A full recording of the final show in Yokohama as well as behind-the-scenes footage and a digital photo book was released on DVD and Blu-ray on the second anniversary of Hanyu's professional career on July 19, 2024.

[25] The event was organized by Hanyu's management company Team Sirius in partnership with TV Asahi and CIC Co., Ltd.[21][26] It was sponsored by Kosé, Ajinomoto, and Nishikawa Co., Ltd.
