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 in partnership with TV Asahi and CIC Co., Ltd. The show was held in two cities at Pia Arena MM in Yokohama on November 4–5 and Flat Hachinohe in Hachinohe on December 2–3, and 5.

It was the first solo ice show in the sport of figure skating and the prologue to the Yuzuru Hanyu Ice Story series, produced and directed by Hanyu. Each show had a duration of 90 minutes and featured 8–10 programs performed at the athletic level of skating competitions, opening with a six-minute warm-up session and a challenge of Hanyu's free skate program Seimei from the 2018 Winter Olympics.

The show was sold out with 24,800 spectators at the two venues in total. The final day of the show in each city was screened live at cinemas in Japan and aired live on the subscription channel CS TV Asahi. A DVD and Blu-ray release of the show is scheduled for July 19, 2024. The broadcast of the Hachinohe show was awarded the Grand Prize in the category "best relay broadcast" at the 13th JSBA Original Programs Awards [ja] in 2023. The event was sponsored by Kosé, Ajinomoto, and Nishikawa, with the Yokohama shows receiving special sponsorship by Tōwa Pharmaceutical.
