Michele Crispino is an Italian figure skater and a supporting character in the anime Yuri!!! on Ice. He is the older twin brother of Sara Crispino, a top-ranked ladies' singles skater. At 22 years old, Michele stands 179 cm tall and is known for his serious, straight-laced demeanor, which contrasts sharply with the stereotypical image of an Italian man. He is described as a "hard virgin" with a very traditional and chivalrous outlook, particularly when it comes to women. His most defining trait is his extreme protectiveness over his sister Sara, whom he has been guarding since childhood, when he defended her from bullies. He is known to aggressively fend off any potential suitors, claiming to have sent all of them "to hell."

In the story, Michele is a participant in the Grand Prix Series. He places third at the Japan Cup, and at the Russia Cup he starts the short program in fifth position, but before the free skate his sister confronts him about his overprotective behavior and tells him to become more independent, which deeply affects him. He also has a close, brotherly relationship with fellow skater Emil Nekola, often treating him like an underling or younger brother. Michele's skating style is emotionally contained but technically solid, reflecting his disciplined personality. His motivations are closely tied to his family, particularly his desire to protect and support his sister, though this attachment also serves as a source of internal conflict as he begins to grow beyond it. Throughout the series, he shows subtle development as he starts to confront the limitations of his extreme sibling devotion.
