We apologize for the sudden concern and sorrow for our fans and all concerned.
Regarding the details, there are some parts that we have not yet grasped, so we will continue to cooperate with the investigation between the parties concerned.
We pray deeply for Hana Kimura's life.
We will discuss the future with her relatives.
In addition, we will also strive to ensure the mental wellbeing of all our roster.

Edit: I wanted to say that I’m a wrestling fan first, and a TH fan second. I met Hana on several occasions and helped with fan events here in Japan.
Wrestling fans coming into this subreddit to point fingers should think before doing so.
This isn’t solely because of Terrace House. Rewind to when Hana won the Cinderella Tournament or even when she was announced for the 1.4 NJPW event over other talent. Some of the comments I saw on social media were abhorrent (from English and Japanese fans)
This is a tragic situation where the constant pressure from ALL social media and comments from EVERYONE became too much for her to cope, and she took her life.

Honestly speechless right now. Such a tragedy.
I was so hopeful earlier when someone tweeted out that they had gotten in touch with her.
Thoughts and prayers go out to her family... I’m seriously at a loss for words
