Yokohama Radiant Hall
240 Fans – No Vacancy

2. London Machine, Choun-Shiryu & Tsukina Umino defeated PSYCHO, Rekka & HARUKAZE when Machine submitted HARUKAZE with the Argentine Backbreaker (12:20).
3. Yuna Manase & YuuRI defeated Moeka Haruhi & Maya Yukihi when Manase pinned Haruhi with the Lariat (12:35).
4. Hartley Jackson defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Piledriver (13:20).
5. Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Mizuki Watase defeated Tyson Maeguchi, Thanomsak Toba & Kouki Iwasaki when Katsumura submitted Maeguchi with the Triple Three 3 Lock (14:27).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) defeated Takuya Wada with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (18:51).
*V3 for Keisuke Ishii.

Last month’s cancelled show delayed the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title match to today. In the meantime Keisuke Ishii got to wrestle Yuji Nagata recently and was inspired to use the Nagata Lock II on Takuya Wada. He had to let go due to a rope break but Ishii went back to his usual moveset and eventually won with the High Angle Double Arm DDT. Ishii encouraged Wada to keep fighting him and said they should have three more matches against each other. Ishii told the fans he will lead Ganbare☆Pro for as long as his willpower and body can handle it. Hartley Jackson entered the ring and told Ishii he is a strong champion, but Jackson is ichiban! He will face Ishii for the SOG Title in Osaka on 3rd November.

After Match #5 Mizuki Watase was confronted in the ring by Yuna Manase. She said Watase is doing more to carry the weight of GanPro in other promotions than anyone else. However Manase wants to make her name inside GanPro so she is challenging Watase & Shigehiro Irie for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles! Watase accepted her challenge, saying he and Irie want to defend the titles against anyone who is motivated regardless of their gender, nationality or what promotion the represent. Manase wants the title shot to happen on 14th October in the main event and she already decided YuuRI is going to be her tag partner. Whenever they team together they are called Nippon Ganbare☆Rengo. The move has Shuichiro Katsumura’s approval. He was going to challenge the champions with Ken Ohka but he’s happy to support his “cute little sisters” instead. Watase is Katsumura’s “nasty little brother” so he won’t be cheering for him.

At the start of the show Yumehito Imanari talked about being undefeated in GanPro ever since they went independent. He asked Michiyoshi Mishima to be rewarded with a SOG Title shot if he could beat Jackson today. Mishima agreed but Imanari ended up losing the match. That led to Jackson challenging Ishii for the title at the end of the show instead.

Another reason why Manase made her tag title challenge was to help push the Ganbare☆Joshi division towards the main event of GanPro cards. GanJo matches are usually held during the first half of the regular shows and when Match #3 was finished Manase asked Mishima to book a GanJo bout for the main event of the 14th October show. Mishima said he would think about it but Manase was not happy with that answer. Then the stuff already written above happened later as a compromise.

HARUKAZE finds herself in the opposite end from Imanari. She has yet to win a match in GanPro since the group went independent and vowed today would be her first victory. That didn’t happen because London Machine made her submit to the Argentine Backbreaker. Both of them tried pulling on each other’s masks during the match.

Even though Munetatsu Nakamura lost in the opening match, he made a request afterwards. Takashi Sasaki was in attendance and Nakamura asked him if he could be booked for the FREEDOMS show at Korakuen Hall on 10th October. Sasaki was impressed by how proactive Nakamura is to ask him directly instead of contacting the FREEDOMS office. However Jun Masaoka took offence and told both Nakamura & Shota Kawakami they need to practice more. A brawl broke out between the teams. Masaoka & Gaia Hox ended up getting the better of the GanPro rookies again.

At the end of the show Ohka interrupted Ishii’s closing speech to give everyone an announcement. GanPro will return to Korakuen Hall on 11th April, 2025! It will be GanPro’s first time booking Korakuen as an independent promotion. The previous times were all done under DDT or CyberFight’s control. Ishii said never in his 16 year career has he main evented a Korakuen show as a singles champion. He will do his best to headline Korakuen with the SOG Title and close out the show with fans chanting his name.

The second of three shows held in Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR today was a collaboration between the Ganbare☆Joshi division and the women from 666. Well, some of the wrestlers on the 666 side were gender swapped parodies of other wrestlers. In the main event Ram Kaichow, Maya Yukihi & YuuRI fought a gender swapped parody of Ozaki-gun with Onryo as Mayumi Ozaki, Konaka = Pehlwan as Maya Yukihi and Ken Ohka as Yumi Ohka (Ken claims he and Yuki are actually cousins). Also earlier in the show Rina Yamashita had to fight herself as played by Taro Yamada.

I Chose The Wrong Time To Go On Holiday

July 16, 2024

Heads up, I have a really busy travel week this week. Unfortunately that means I don’t have the time to write any previews for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24” or “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024”. I will try my best to post match results, show reports and any other news whenever I can but it may come a few days late before I’m caught up on anything.

DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN SHINJUKU”, 26/07/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni
2. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Keigo Nakamura
3. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs MJ Paul

No real clues in the lineup for what direction DDT will go next after Sumo Hall.

Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami will be on the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GARAFES DASH!! ~SCORCHING SUMMER SPLASH~”, 27/07/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Raku Vs Uta Takami
2. Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Pom Harajuku & Shino Suzuki

The next Tokyo Joshi Pro appearance at the Garafes is later this month. The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) also recently announced a new trainee called Kana. She was born in Kanagawa on 5th August, 2005 and is 156cm tall. Her goal is to become both a regular pro wrestler and idol.

2. Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Yuki Ishikawa
3. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) Vs Yasu Urano

All of Minoru Fujita’s defences of the Union MAX Title so far have been against BASARA wrestlers. Yasu Urano is going to be his first outsider opponent. For Fujita it may be the first time he feels like BASARA’s leader as their champion.

GANBARE☆PRO “UNCUT DIAMONDS 2024”, 16/08/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Shuji Ishikawa

In just over a year and a half Takuya Wada has accomplished plenty in Ganbare☆Pro. He already held a championship here and now has a chance to take the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title from Keisuke Ishii.

Ken Ohka has called upon Shuji Ishikawa to challenge Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. Ohka is on a mission to show everyone that wrestlers born in the 1970s are still up to snuff.

GANBARE☆PRO “DISASTER ARTIST 2024” Results

July 15, 2024

GANBARE☆PRO “DISASTER ARTIST 2024”, 15/07/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
286 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Takuya Wada & Yujiro Yamamoto defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami when Wada submitted Nakamura with the Gm UP!! (9:50).
2. SAKI, Yuko Sakurai & Yuki Mashiro defeated HARUKAZE, Yuna Manase & Banny Oikawa when SAKI pinned HARUKAZE with the Running Brainbuster (8:58).

6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) defeated Hong Kong International Police Man with the Momoiro Kick (15:59).
*V2 for Keisuke Ishii.

Today was a big show for Ganbare☆Pro because it drew the largest crowd they have ever had at Takashimadaira Kumin Center! The main event was advertised as Keisuke Ishii defending the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title against Hong Kong International Police Man. However when it was time for the match to happen Police Man was nowhere to be found. Instead Choun-Shiryu walked out as his replacement! Ishii was still able to beat him using the Momoiro Kick, his name for the Kneel Kick. After the match he thanked “Police Man” because it was the first singles match they ever had together. Takuya Wada then entered the ring and challenged Ishii for the championship. It will take place on 16th August. Wada and the other wrestlers from the 1970s group then joined together in the ring to close out the show.

Ken Ohka was able to beat one of the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Champions by pinning Mizuki Watase with the Flame Spear. Shigehiro Irie taunted Ohka after the match by raising his title belt in the air. At the end of the show Ohka sent a video call to Shuji Ishikawa on his phone. Ohka asked Ishikawa if they could team up and challenge for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Titles on 16th August. Ishikawa agreed to the idea. Ohka originally wanted Isami Kodaka or Minoru Fujita to be his partner but Kodaka is unavailable and Fujita turned him down.

It was a special return to the ring for Moeka Haruhi. She has been away from wrestling for over a year in order to donate a kidney to her sister. For her comeback match Haruhi was teaming up with Yusaku Ito, a wrestler who has received a kidney transplant. She was disappointed to lose the match but thanked Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI for protecting GanPro during her hiatus. She also thanked everyone for supporting her during this period especially when there were times she felt at her weakest. Today is the beginning of her second chapter and it will start with her joining GanPro on a full time basis! She promised the fans they next time they see her she will win her match.

Lately Yumehito Imanari has been over in ZERO1 competing in the Fire Festival tournament. As part of their relationship with GanPro, Imanari’s final block match against Satsuki Nagao was allowed to take place on this show. Imanari was able to win, ending his tournament run with two victories out of five matches and 10 points in total. Since he is the first wrestler in his block to complete all his matches and many are currently tied on 10 points he is unlikely to advance to the final. He compared fighting Nagao to fighting against Masato Tanaka and Shinjiro Otani.

GANBARE☆PRO “WILD GAMBLE 2024” Results

June 2, 2024

GANBARE☆PRO “WILD GAMBLE 2024”, 02/06/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
164 Fans

1. Hartley Jackson defeated Shota Kawakami with the Death Valley Bomb (5:20).
2. Banny Oikawa & Ayame Sasamura defeated HARUKAZE & YuuRI Sasamura pinned HARUKAZE with the Diving Foot Stomp (11:01).
3. Yumehito Imanari & Tatsuya Hanami defeated Keisuke Ishii & Tsuyoshi Okada when Imanari pinned Okada with the Power Bomb (9:03).
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Time Staggered Battle Royal: Hong Kong International Police Man defeated Ken Ohka with the Project A (16:49).
Order Of Elimination: Tyson Maeguchi, Daisuke®️, Baliyan Akki, Minoru Fujita, Yuna Manase, Gabai Ji-chan and Ken Ohka.
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada (c) when Watase pinned Katsumura with the Running Elbow Butt (24:11).
*GROUND ABSOLUTE fails in V7. Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase become the 3rd Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Champions!

The dominant reign of GROUND ABSOLUTE is over! After six successful defences of the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles they have fallen to the former RENEGADES in their seventh defence. While Takuya Wada and Shigehiro Irie got into blows late in the match, it all came down to Mizuki Watase countering Shuichiro Katsumura’s Ninja Choke into a Brainbuster. Katsumura fired back with a Knee Strike but Watase hit him with Running Elbow Butts until he could pin the champion for the three count. Watase said he wanted to win the tag titles after watching GROUND ABSOLUTE beat Hentai Punch Drunkers for them at Ota Ward Gymnasium last July. Irie was the only partner he ever had in mind to team with because Irie has never abandoned him. He now wants to defend the titles ten times in a row. Irie said he had lost his confidence after failing to win back the wXw Unified World Title in Germany earlier this year so he put in a lot of effort today. He is happy to be a champion with somebody he trusts. Watase suggested they could do a full RENEGADES revival and bring back all of the other members.

The Battle Royal did in fact have more than the six wrestlers advertised taking part including Tyson Maeguchi and Minoru Fujita who both appealed on social media to be added to the match. Yuna Manase joined forces with Baliyan Akki for a little while because it was recently Akki’s birthday. Gabai Ji-chan took so long to walk down to the ring that Daisuke®️ made it in there before him despite being the next entrant after him. Choun-Shiryu went missing before the show and was replaced by Hong Kong International Police Man. The cop made it to the end of the match where he dodged Ken Ohka’s Spear, gave him the Chinese Gory Bomb and then pinned him with the Project A to become the No. 1 Contender for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title. After the match Keisuke Ishii said he has never interacted with Police Man until now and he’ll be honored to defend the title against him. However when he went to shake his hand, Police Man gave him a salute instead and left the ring.

On 27th July Ganbare☆Joshi will be co-hosting an all woman’s show with Triple Six as part of a tripleheader in Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR. One of the other shows on that day will be an all men’s show held that Ganbare☆Pro is holding by themselves. The first match announced is Ken Ohka Vs Keisuke Ishii Vs Shota Kawakami in a battle between wrestlers born in three different decades.

Moeka Haruhi announced she will be teaming with Yusaku Ito from Dove Pro for her return match on 15th July. The reason is because Haruhi recently donated her kidney while Ito himself is a recipient of a kidney transplant.

GANBARE☆PRO “EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE 2024” Results

May 18, 2024

GANBARE☆PRO “EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE 2024”, 18/05/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
218 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Shota Kawakami Debut Match: Ken Ohka defeated Shota Kawakami with a Crab Hold (6:16).
2. Hartley Jackson, Choun-Shiryu & Yuna Manase defeated Ken Ohka, Banny Oikawa & Gabai Ji-chan when Manase pinned Oikawa with the Suzuki Dynamic (13:16).
3. Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase defeated Ken Ohka & Baliyan Akki when Watase pinned Ohka with a Diving Foot Stomp (17:24).
4. Yumehito Imanari defeated Tyson Maeguchi with a Power Bomb (7:07).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada (c) defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Daisuke®️ when Katsumura submitted Tominaga with the Triple Three 3 Lock (9:32).
*V6 for GROUND ABSOLUTE.
6. Kitsune World Title: Sayaka Unagi (c) defeated YuuRI with the Dai Gi Deatta (12:19).
*V2 for Sayaka Unagi.
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) defeated Kouki Iwasaki with a Jumping High Kick (18:24).
*V1 for Keisuke Ishii.

One defence in and Keisuke Ishii is already feeling the pain of being a champion. Kouki Iwasaki was such a tough challenge for him to overcome that he did not want to name the next challenger for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title afterwards. That caused a line of wrestlers to enter the ring one by one, each making the case for a title shot. Yuna Manase, Ken Ohka, Choun-Shiryu, Baliyan Akki, Daisuke®️ and even Gabai Ji-chan were all there. A decision was made to have a Battle Royal on 2nd June to determine the No. 1 Contender. Ishii considers Akki as the favorite to win but admits the winner could be anyone.

Yesterday Sayaka Unagi got to wrestle Arisa Nakajima in Shin-Kiba 1st RING. It made her realize that in pro wrestling you can never know when the end will come. Under that logic her match with YuuRI today in the same venue could be the last time they ever face each other. There was also a heavy atmosphere in the venue because of an injury that happened in the match before it (more on that later). Unagi praised YuuRI for getting the crowd back into the show with their match and it proves she has grown as a pro wrestler. Unagi used to have multiple championships but now she only has the Kitsune World Title so she wants to keep it no matter what. YuuRI called the match a good experience and she learned there are wrestlers she cannot beat even when she gives it her all. She is devoting all of her free time to wrestling and wants to beat Unagi some day.

Apparently Shinichiro Tominaga got injured during the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles match and went to hospital afterwards to get checked up on. That is according to Shuichiro Katsumura’s post-match comments. Tominaga was there for the entire match and dropped the fall by submitting to Katsumura. Daisuke®️ had moments to shine by himself and landed a No Touch Topé con Hilo onto Tominaga & Takuya Wada out of the ring. After the match GROUND ABSOLUTE asked if there was any team out there stronger than they are? Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase entered the ring and stared down the champions.

Due to a bunch of different circumstances Ken Ohka had to wrestle in the first three matches of the show. He beat the rookie Shota Kawakami in Kawakami’s debut match, took a Double Brainbuster from Hartley Jackson & Manase in Match #2 and was pinned by Watase with a Double Stomp in Match #3.

Kawakami had a goal for his debut match. He wanted to put up a good enough fight that Ohka would need to use the Flame Spear to beat him. That did not happen, Ohka instead tapped him out with a Crab Hold. Kawakami still hopes he can get to that point in the future and told fans to keep an eye on him. Ohka said Kawakami should instead put his focus on winning but praised the rookie for showing more passion than anyone else in the world.

Shu Sakurai appeared during the show with some important announcements. He has gotten married this year and the happy couple are expecting their first child! For the time being Sakurai has decided to fully leave Ganbare☆Pro but that does not mean he has retired from pro wrestling.

There is an update on Munetatsu Nakamura. He has been cleared by his doctor to resume training and is planning to return depending on GanPro’s decision.

GANBARE☆PRO “EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE 2024”, 18/05/2024

6. Kitsune World Title: Sayaka Unagi (c) Vs YuuRI
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Kouki Iwasaki

It wasn’t meant to be this way but Ken Ohka is going to wrestle three times on this show! Munetatsu Nakamura pulled out because he is sick and HARUKAZE can’t show up because of a scheduling conflict. Apparently Ohka told management he is willing to work twice and step in to fight either Shigehiro Irie or Mizuki Watase. He didn’t expect to be given a tag match against both of them. He also didn’t expect to be put in a third match either! That right there is a lesson in being careful if you offer to do extra work at your job.

A disagreement broke out between Bushimasa and Thanomsak Toba over what rules they will use for their match. Toba wanted to use MMA rules but Bushimasa wants the match to be a Tire Boxing fight! They eventually agreed to do one round each of both. Round 1 will be an MMA fight with a 3 minute time limit, submissions allowed and a 10 count for Knockout. Round 2 is Tire Boxing where both fighters keep a foot in the middle of a tire and box each other. Victory is achieved by knocking the opponent out of the tire 3 times or knocking them out with a 5 Count. If there is no winner after both rounds then the fight will be ruled a draw.

Here are the names of each of the tag teams entering the Rumble match. Keisuke Ishii & Akito are “Wakamori Generation!“, Masahiro Takanashi & Makoto Oishi are “Team Sneaky People“, Soma Takao & Shota are ROMANCE DAWN of course, KANON & MJ Paul are “DAMNATION T.A Special Attack Team“, Yuki Iino & Yuki Ishida are “Dosukoi BURNING ~100% Yuki~” and Toru Owashi & Black Menso-re are “El Dorado Brother Combination?“.

Rukiya’s injury removes him from the opening match. The tag bout is now a 3 Way.

GANBARE☆PRO “SPRING BREAKERS 2024” Results

April 27, 2024

GANBARE☆PRO “SPRING BREAKERS 2024”, 27/04/2024
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
294 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Mizuki Watase & Rekka defeated Tyson Maeguchi & Tsuyoshi Okada when Watase pinned Okada with the Venetian (13:38).
2. Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Takuya Wada with the Modified Schwein (9:11).
3. PSYCHO, Yuna Manase & YuuRI defeated Minoru Fujita, Sayaka Unagi & HARUKAZE when YuuRI pinned HARUKAZE with the Swanton Bomb (15:47).
4. Yumehito Imanari & Tatsuhito Takaiwa defeated Ken Ohka & Fuminori Abe when Imanari pinned Ohka with the Lariat (16:46).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii defeated Shuichiro Katsumura (c) with the Locomotion High Angle Double Arm DDT (19:59).
*Shuichiro Katsumura fails in V3. Keisuke Ishii becomes the 7th Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Champion!

A new chapter begins with a new champion! Keisuke Ishii is now the leading man for Ganbare☆Pro after he defeated Shuichiro Katsumura for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title. He was able to counter the Triple Three 3 Lock into a cradle to get Katsumura to let go of the hold. Ishii then hit the High Angle Double Arm DDT three times in a row to secure the title change. He wanted to speak after the match but Shinichiro Tominaga quickly grabbed the microphone off him. Tominaga said he wants to win the SOG Title and Ishii is a worthy champion. But it is a wrestler’s golden rule to take down their rival when they are weak. So that means Tominaga wants a shot at… the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles!

He noticed Katsumura was still recovering from the main event so he called out his tag team partner Takuya Wada, who he had defeated earlier in the show. Wada blamed Banny Oikawa for the result (she was the referee for their match) and asked Tominaga who is partner will be? Tominaga quietly admitted he asked everyone in the GanPro locker room but nobody stepped forward to accept his offer. However he still has friends in the student pro wrestling scene particularly in CWP who will do whatever he asks. Also today is Tominaga’s birthday so Wada cannot deny his wish. GROUND ABSOLUTE will accept his challenge and the match will take place on 18th May.

After that was all sorted out the new champion Ishii finally got to speak. He said today was the perfect moment for him to win the title and he feels lucky it went that way. GanPro is now under a new system which means he too is under a new system. Under this new system he will become the ace of GanPro! After the show had finished, Ishii announced to reporters that his first defence will be against Kouki Iwasaki on 18th May. Iwasaki had given him encouragement before today’s main event and he is also the kind of tough challenge Ishii wants to face.

Ken Ohka is feeling good despite losing his first GanPro match under the new management. He said GanPro will face a lot of hardships but it is something the group all built together. It does not need a parent company and will overcome any trouble that can get in their way. His attitude along with Yumehito Imanari has spread over to Tatsuhito Takaiwa and Fuminori Abe. Both of them admitted they did their best today because they got motivated from watching Ohka and Imanari.

There were a few changes to the undercard because Munetatsu Nakamura became unwell during the week and could not wrestle today. PSYCHO was added to Match #3. The match result was YuuRI pinning HARUKAZE and afterward she challenged Sayaka Unagi for the Kitsune World Title! YuuRI explained she wants to take GanPro worldwide and she can take a shortcut by winning Unagi’s championship from America. Unagi said she cannot see YuuRI going worldwide like she does but she wants to beat her in GanPro along with other people. She accepted the challenge and will assess YuuRI for the title on 18th May.

As already mentioned, Banny Oikawa was the referee for the Tominaga Vs Wada match. She almost became a target of some intentional crossfire moments which is why Wada blamed her for losing the match. However Tominaga did in fact beat him clean.

Rekka was moved to Match #1 as the replacement for Nakamura.

Moeka Haruhi announced she will return to wrestling and her first match back is happening on 15th July. She has been out of action since last summer after taking part in a kidney transplant operation for her sister. She said she may be small but she fights to leave a big impact with people. She hopes her return will move people’s hearts in a big way.

A new trainee was introduced to everyone. Shota Kawakami is a childhood friend of Munetatsu Nakamura and he will make his debut on 18th May. He said he wants to do his best to become the ace of pro wrestling inside a fiercely competitive ring.

At the start of the show Imanari revealed that he kept in contact with Shinjiro Otani during GanPro’s transition to their new system. Otani was originally an on-site manager for the promotion before his injury. He told Imanari he has no intention of giving up the role despite being unable to attend shows in his current condition. So it’s now publicly confirmed that Otani is continuing his role and Imanari will work as passionately as he does!
