He entered the ring with his belt on his shoulder and said, "I'm coming to the ring of Stardom! He greeted the crowd with a powerful "Kitakita Kitakita! If you come here as an official," he said, "please come to the ring. Please come to the ring and talk. Please come to the ring!

>Takagi, who revealed that he is so interested in Stardom that he records and watches their TV programs every week, said, "The power of women's pro wrestling is tremendous. They are trying their best, even though their bodies are small and it is hard for them to become muscular. President Taro Okada, if you are going to do it here, you have to do your best to bring in more customers! He pointed out.

He called out to the fans in attendance.
