Shingo Takagi will be honored with a special tournament event by New Japan Pro Wrestling on September 7.
The event will take place in Yamanashi Prefecture, Takagi’s hometown, to commemorate his twenty years in the wrestling industry.
Takagi said: “From what I hear, the Yamanashi tournament will be held by the end of the year. Apparently it happens once. Speaking of autumn, I made my debut as a professional wrestler exactly 20 years ago in autumn. The Yamanashi tournament that fall will be decided at my discretion, but…Shingo Takagi! Isn’t it okay to hold a tournament to commemorate the 20th anniversary of your debut?“
