>[STARDOM] Hanan vows to "normalize" the organization by winning the Artist Championship: "I will make pro wrestling a place where justice shines"
>Hanan (21) of the women's professional wrestling group Stardom is eager to win the Artist Championship.
>Hanan, along with fellow "STARS" members Saya Iida and Momo Kohgo, announced their challenge to Konami, Rina, and Fukigen Death of the villainous group "HATE," who were crowned champions at the Korakuen Hall event on the 10th. The champions accepted, and the title match became a given. Hanan declared her desire for revenge, saying, "Rina told me she was going to 'crush STARS,' but that was my line. I'm going to crush HATE."
>In April, leader Mayu Iwatani left Stardom, and shortly after that, Hazuki and Koguma left STARS. The number of members was reduced to half from six, putting the group in a critical situation. Despite this, Hanan, who had been struggling desperately to rebuild the unit, shed tears when announcing the challenge, saying, "STARS had come so far...". She revealed, "I didn't intend to cry. However, we had talked about gaining confidence as the new STARS, and before announcing our challenge to artists, so when I saw the belt in the ring and realized that we had finally come this far, tears started to flow."
>In August, newcomer Yuria Hime joined the unit, marking a new start for the group. "After a tournament is over, we all look back on the matches, plan our practice menu, and face pro wrestling as a unit, which is one of STARS' strengths right now. We even got together as a unit of four to practice for Yuria's future match, and I feel like our unity has grown stronger," they all agreed. "STARS has to become a symbol of Stardom's units. It's wrong for Stardom to be centered around hate, and for it to get excited when hate does something. We will wear the artists' belts and make pro wrestling a place where justice shines," said Hanan, who is determined to "normalize" the group.
