Proof that the new era has arrived.
Noah's GHC Heavyweight Champion Kaito Kiyomiya (23) has formed a tag with Keiji Mutoh, W-1 Chairman (56) and Jun Akiyama, GM of All Japan (49). The tag formation (September 16th Edion Arena Osaka 1st Stadium) has increased morale.

The league "N-1 VICTORY", that will determine the strongest of the new Noah, will open on the 18th.
Kiyomiya,  who's achievements are recognized in his fifth defense, has refrained from entry. It is certain that the defensive battle will be held with the winner at Sumo Hall on November 2nd.
Therefore, at the Osaka event where the championship decision will be held, "there are seniors who I want to experience as GHC Champion". He aspired to form a tag with Mutoh and Akiyama, and it was realized.

Kiyomiya had a new resolution, "These are seniors who have carried promotions on their backs at times. There are many things that I want to absorb from them, and I am sure for me that will be the core."

Today he attended a talk show at the game center, "Taito Station" in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa, where Kiyomiya spoke of the memories of the Canadian exertion, and an episode involving the dachshund, Chip, that is at his parents home in Saitama.

When questions flew about the technique of the tag in Osaka, he replied with shining eyes "I will think about it in the ring on the day!".
