~Story~
Growing up in Yokohama, Japan, Arata has always been close to his little sister, Hana, where they would play tricks on each other and just be lovable together.
One day, Hana decided to follow in her mother’s footsteps while Arata wanted to play baseball, his favorite sport. Playing high school baseball for many years, Kimura finally made the team to the Yokohama DeNA BayStars, one of the best baseball teams in Japan.
His specialty was pitching, as he found it enjoyable as Hana and Kyoko would show up to watch him play, no matter what the time or the weather.
After two years, while his sister Hana was wrestling, Arata had become Rookie of The Year, being honored as one of the best pitchers in Nippon Professional Baseball’s history.
In return, Arata went to one of Hana’s shows in Stardom, where he would meet many of the wrestlers as one of them named Natsumi Maki, better known as Natsupoi, became very good friends with him through the subject of baseball and how big of a fan she was of Kimura.
The two would become best friends and always have fun whenever they’re around each other, but then, on May 23, 2020, while hanging out with Natsumi, he gets the call from his mother to learn that Hana Kimura, his sister, the one person who he cared about more than anything in the world, has committed suicide due to cyberbullying she’s been getting online.
Hearing this broke him down completely as Arata went rogue as he punched a wall so many times that not only did he end up with a bloody hand, Natsumi had calmed him down and hug him tightly, making sure that he didn’t act up while trying to take in the sadness that was just reported.
Stardom paid tribute to Hana the very next show as Arata was in attendance, but everyone could clearly see that he was broken, so upset by it all that nobody knew how hard he took his sister’s passing.
After proclaiming himself quitting baseball and taking up the sport of pro wrestling in his sister’s memory, the fans in attendance, his mom, Natsumi, applauded as his mom, Natsumi, and many of his sister’s friends climbed into the ring, hugged him as he had to do the same back as Hana’s music played in the background.
In the back, everyone had praised Arata for holding himself together while giving out the speech as Natsumi, his best friend and source for emotional support, stayed with him until the entire show was over.
Natsumi, the most sweetest girl Arata has ever met, was the first to greet him once the show came to an end, offered to spend time with him the next day, but he wanted to be alone, which she completed understood.
After asking Kyoko, he and Hana’s mother, one night, she accepted after feeling so touched about her son wanting to carry on Hana’s legacy.
Kyoko began to train her son in MMA and pro wrestling, making sure that her own son was on top of the game.
Learning how to bump, do moves, and how to be charismatic, Arata felt the need to make himself better than Hana had ever been, but not trying to be a carbon copy of her.
After a month, Arata has been assigned to go to America to learn about different wrestling styles to apply to his own, but knowing how hard it was going to be, Sumie Sakai, a very close friend of the Kimuras, offered to go with Arata and mentor him as they travel the country together.
Before he leaves for America, Natsumi starts to have some feelings for Arata, but he never noticed until one day before his departure.
How does he react?
