>The baton has now been passed to our ace, Hiroshi Tanahashi.
>From now on, I believe that Mr. Tanahashi, who has a fan's perspective, a player's perspective, and a management perspective, will create the best New Japan ever.
>Thank you very much for your support over the past five years at New Japan Pro-Wrestling and three years and two months as president.
>I started my management career at the height of the Corona disaster, when mobilization plummeted due to the voice ban. Along with measures against Corona and cost reduction, I created various reforms, new businesses, globalization, and other systems, but most of the time I was still in "birth pains". However, whenever I went to the meeting place, I was always cheered up by everyone, which encouraged me to work hard again, and through this cycle, we managed to recover our business performance to the level of record sales.
>All that remains now is for the new president to go above and beyond!
>I would like to thank everyone again at the press conference on the 26th.
