Complete defeat in the new generation confrontation, unfocused line of sight

On the 6th June at the Saitama Super Arena, Noah's Kaito Kiyomiya faced a new generation confrontation with DDT. Accompanied by Yoshiki Inamura, he fought against Konosuke Takeshita and Yuki Ueno, but it was Kiyomiya himself to lost to Ueno. Takeshita said, "There is no next. I'm going to go higher and farther." As expected when this match was announced, he said as expected "This is the main event, rather than the title match". However, on the 22nd May Yokohama event Kiyomiya, who was driven into bleeding heavily, and plunged into losing his way. Repeating "What is pro wrestling", he is different from the young man who led Noah as GHC Heavyweight Champion in 2019. After the devastating defeat on the 6th June he said, "I lost, but it was just a passing point. We were weak today". It was all he could do to focus on something. 

Kiyomiya entered Noah in 2015, and went out on overseas expedition in the summer of 2017. At the end of the year he returned triumphantly to Japan. By the end of 2018, he became the GHC Heavyweight Champion and he monopolized the topic not only in Noah, but in Japanese wrestling. Even after losing the title at the beginning of 2020, his approval rating remained high especially among female fans, but recently he has come to a halt. Will he fall to the dark side like this...

I remember the time when Kiyomiya returned to Japan in 2017. "Who?", he was surprisingly transformed, but there wasn't enough aura to think, "Oh, he's coming!". "One talented person in 100 years", it was reminiscent of Hiroshi Tanahashi. He is a handsome man with a gentle personality, who is bright and fun and of course he had a powerful fight with a beautiful bridging suplex that shows off a beautifully formed arc that can hold properly. It's a completely beautiful curve, not a trapezoidal shape. Only if the basics are correct and the basics are solid, then it can be applied. The possibilities are endless. 

Kiyomiya loves big tomatoes. Now is the time for tomato power, isn't it? "If you have tomatoes in a buffet, I will eat only tomatoes" he said enthusiastically with a shy expression. If he goes into an Izakaya*, he has chilled tomatoes in Red Eye* (chilled tomatoes in beer with tomato juice). Recently, the variety of tomatoes has increased, but Kiyomiya's recommendation is "Amera tomatoes", as "Amera is the sweetest and most delicious, isn't it?". But, "I also like tomatoes that smell green!". Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, and in Europe they are so nutritious there is a saying that "When tomatoes turn red, Doctor's turn blue." His "Tomato LOVE" is a hardcore one, such as emphasizing that "they are also good for skin exposed to UV rays!", and that they should be eaten in the summer. Information such as "there is a new kind of delicious tomato" and "there is a delicious restaurant for cold tomato noodles" may be the best way to rouse Kiyomiya.

Heavyweight Jun Akiyama gives painful advice   

Kiyomiya, who should be carrying the future of Noah, no Japanese pro wrestling, is worried now, struggling and suffering. Beyond the framework of the promotion, Jun Akiyama gave some scathing advise saying, "You shouldn't say or write that you are worried". 
Akiyama, has a different standing in terms of career, age and life experience, but Kiyomiya is a 24 year old young man. It seems that he is trying to find the answer to his own questions, while searching in the dark. I am worried that he can't even ask for help. Akiyama, who has now left Noah, pointed out that Kiyomiya, who loves Noah and is prepared to devote everything to Noah, has become very worried as he doesn't think he can get out of the maze this way. 
However, Hideki Suzuki, who is known for his dryness, once evaluated Kiyomiya saying, "When we first met, I was surprised as he didn't look away when he greeted me. He is extremely strong."

Kiyomiya is not a man who will sink like this, now is the time to pay attention as to how he will resurface.
