Hana Kimura Memorial Show Results

This time last year, the wrestling world was shocked to learn of the passing of 22-year-old Japanese wrestler Hana Kimura, who tragically took her own life on May 23, 2020.

To commemorate the one year anniversary of her death, a memorial show took place last night at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan, and below are the results.

You can watch the show on-demand on FITE for $14.99, with all of the money raised from the show going to Kyoko Kimura, Hana’s mother. The show has both English and Japanese commentary available.

• HUB, Shisaou, & Eisa8 defeated Shota, FUMA, & Mil Mongoose
• Ram Kaicho won the All-Star Battle Royal
• ASUKA, Syuri, Natsupoi, & Mio Momono defeated Kagetsu, Hazuki, Konami, & Death Yama-san
• ASUKA defeated Kagetsu

After the matches, there was a fifteen-minute video package recapping the career and life of Hana Kimura, which was followed by a moment of silence and a ten-bell salute.

Regardless of if you were familiar with her work before her passing or not, we implore you to support the Kimura family by watching the show and showing your respects to Hana Kimura.

Kimura’s mother recently launched a non-profit anti-cyberbullying organisation called ‘Remember Hana’, which you can find out more about at this link.
