On July 31st at Noah's Kanazawa event, the Governor of Ishikawa, Hiroshi Hase, appeared in the ring and held a ceremony to present Keiji Mutoh with a letter of appointment as the Ishikawa Tourism Ambassador. Mutoh appeared after Governor Hase made a greeting, and 100 kg of rice produced in Ishikawa Prefecture was presented to him. 

Following this, while talking with Governor Hase in the ring, Mutoh said, "I will retire around February next year". He has previously said he will retire by next spring, but for the first time has revealed when. In addition, Governor Hase said "Is it okay without me?" and suggested to Mutoh that he participates in the retirement road. With the support of the 1,267 (full house) fans who gathered at the Kanazawa event, Mutoh said "I will truly offer you" (rough, does not translate well). 

By the way, Governor Hase was caught up in a match a few minutes later, throwing chops at Kendo Kashin and Shuhei Taniguchi, and for some reason there was also a scene where he toasted with Kashin and Kazuyuki Fujita with cans of beer, which proves that he was ready to fight at any time. 

How will Governor Hase get involved in Mutoh's retirement road?
