What’s important in a competition isn’t just winning, but the attitude you have in how you win. Don’t hurt your opponent, entertain the spectators, and above all, enjoy yourself. People are surely touched by such sincere efforts. What Horimai embodies is not the pursuit of surpassing his opponents, but the relentless pursuit of continually surpassing himself. The pursuit of one’s ideal self in sports and the pursuit of self-improvement in beauty share a common aesthetic. There’s a particularly strong affinity between extreme sports, a field that’s still in its infancy, and us, pioneers of men’s beauty.

Comment from Yuto Horigome Q. How do you feel about being appointed as an ambassador for Gorilla Clinic and appearing in their commercial? I’ve always been interested in beauty, and appearing in this commercial really resonated with me as well as Gorilla Clinic’s philosophy. I believe that self-improvement increases motivation and leads to self-confidence. I want to cherish that feeling and devote myself even more to skateboarding. Q. What were your impressions of filming the commercial? Working with Gorilla Clinic over this two-day shoot was a truly valuable experience. We filmed at the famous skate park in Venice Beach, LA, and had the opportunity to show off my routine, which I don’t usually show, making it a very fun and fulfilling time.

I feel that this commercial’s catchphrase, “Is there anything more important than winning?”, is a perfect match. I believe that this work expresses the importance of continuing to challenge yourself beyond your limits. Q. Please give a message to men’s beauty and those taking on new challenges. Starting something new isn’t easy and requires courage. However, taking that first step is sure to bring about change. I myself hope to continue taking on various challenges in the future. I encourage everyone to not be afraid to try new things in the beauty industry. CM Overview 1.

By his early teens, he had already emerged as one of Japan’s top skaters, and at age 14, he expanded his horizons to the world, competing in major contests around the world. After graduating from high school at the age of 18, he moved to Los Angeles, California to focus on skateboarding. Since then, he has won numerous world-class competitions, made history as the first men’s street skateboarding champion at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and went on to win back-to-back gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

As a comprehensive beauty clinic (medical institution) specializing in men, we offer a wide range of treatments, including permanent hair removal using medical lasers, skin care, acne (scar) treatment, hair loss and AGA treatment, medical weight loss, and smell care. In May 2024, we began offering surgical treatments at our Ginza Annex clinic (for double eyelids, phimosis, and under-eye bags). We utilize the power of cosmetic medicine to support all of your beauty needs. Since our founding, we have pursued a “male-oriented” approach down to the smallest details, employing many male staff members. We strive to create an environment where men can come to us without embarrassment about any concerns they may have. ▼[Scheduled for Fall 2025] Notice regarding the “New Opening of Tachikawa Clinic” and “Expansion and Relocation of Nagoya Sakae Clinic”
