Kaito Kityomiya (22) who will challenge the GHC Heavyweight Champion, Takashi Sugiura (48) at Pro Wrestling Noah's event on the 16th December at the Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium, talked about his thoughts when he visited Tokyo Daily Sports on the 11th.

Kaito Kiyomiya is the victor of "GLOBAL LEAGUE 2018" who defeated Katsuhiko Nakajima (30) to win the championship and become the next challenger. He has now the chance to challenge for the second time since Kenoh (33) in January this year. Nowadays, he crossed the bridge from the days he was enrolled in the Sugiura Army.
"I have been indebted to him since my debut, and there was a time when we tagged together", he has complicated thoughts about Sugiura, however he is firm on fact that, "The generation change is necessary. The time is significant for this challenge and the win. I want to change the view of Noah by having a match that makes customers excited".

In 2017 while on expedition in Canada, he mastered the late Mitsuharu Misawa's technique, the "Tiger Suplex Hold". He also won tag league in 2018, and became the 43rd GHC Tag Champion, and riding on a wave he is pushing forward on the road to becoming the youngest GHC Heavyweight champion in history.
