Thank you so much for everything. It was an honor to share the ring with Takeshita, and to be passed down the name from you means everything. ❤️.
I fought debut match when I was 17. He is now 17. I can't believe it. I have been called "The Future" in Japan since my debut. I think he is the future now. I would like to give that name to him. You are the future.
