Ruka Hirano
Japan

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

His casual, relaxed manner immediately catches the eye – but when it comes to snowboarding, he shows incredible discipline and stoic determination.


His journey began at age 7, and by age 10 he had already made his debut in the YONEX JUNIOR GLOW UP PROJECT. Since then, he has continuously worked on his skills and steadily improved.


His greatest success came in the 2020/21 season when he participated in his first X Games – and finished in 3rd place.


With his unique mix of coolness and ambition, he is one of the most exciting up-and-coming talents in the scene.
