Kenoh, Pro Wrestling Noah's GHC Heavyweight Champion, updated his his YouTube Channel (The Kenoh Channel) on the 2nd, to announce that the new special move that defeated Satoshi Kojima at the Nippon Budokan on July 16th, the "Moonsault Double Knee Attack" technique*, had been decided as "Enrin". 

The name of the new technique was solicited from viewers of the channel, and 931 applications were received. From among them, Kenoh narrowed it down to three "Flame Kick", "K.O." and "Enrin". After much deliberation, Kenoh decided on "Enrin". He explained the reason for his decision, "The image of flames suits me very well, and it's strong. As it's a moonsault, that is why I drop my knees to make a circle. The color of my image is red and flames, and I am always fighting like I am burning up. There is also an image that I entered the Nippon Budokan in flames, so I realized that I should put those flames in. So I was worried about "Flaming Kick" and "Flaming Circle", but "Flaming Kick" has the kanji for kick, and as the technique uses a knee, it's a little different". On top of this, Kenoh also revealed that "Ke-en*" would be used as the name of the "Flaming Kick" in which his leg is set on fire. 

At the end of the video, Kenoh thanked the viewers saying "Thank you so much for thinking about all kinds of things and coming up with a good name for the technique"
