Kota Minoura

[10.0] "Kota Minoura should be at the top of any promotion he's in, but it seems like he's almost stuck doing only stuff with the rest of Gold Class. He's still very young, but capitalising on his amazing look, charisma and talent should be paramount. Hopefully Dragon Gate can do so, or he should consider going somewhere else."

[9.0] "Some of Kota's recent work has been hampered by the stop start pushes he receives and the change in direction of his stable; Gold Class. One of the standouts of the talented Mochizuki Dojo era of rookies. He looked destined to be a future Ace of the company in the mold of YAMATO; cocky, solid in the ring and with a sense of arrogance that wasn't all together undeserved. The new big 6 recently announced show he's still considered as the future of the company along with his sidekick Minorita in tow. The entire stable of Gold Class appeared to be to elevate MInoura with Ishida as the current star. When Ishida was again overlooked and left for GLEAT, you'd have bet your life that Kota was taking the spot along with the Kobe World 2022 match against Yoshioka and taking the title. I just hope that the pushes of Kikuta and Yoshioka are not at the cost of the Golden Rose."

[10.0] "This guy is simply a 10. He moves, he talks, he can dominate. He does it all. Too bad he is still used as a midcarder despite earning important title shots which he is still scheduled to lose. They should start booking him better otherwise he'll age without tasting the main events with a belt on his waist."

[8.0] "Kota Minoura seems to have it all: The look, the In-ring talent, the Presence, "IT" Factor, and he's incredibly young as well. So what can go wrong? What can hold him back from becoming the ACE of Dragon Gate? I can tell you what, or more like who. It is the little geek that constantly follows him around everywhere called Minorita. I do not like him at all. He is bad for Kota Minoura's image. He reminds me of Marko Stunt (There is a reason why Jurassic Express won the AEW Tag Team Titles AFTER Marko Stunt was taken out of the picture). He is not funny, nor is he cute. He is "Go Away" Heat worthy. He is the little sh*t stain that you can't clean out of your clothes. He is an eyesore. He constantly interferes in everything Kota Minoura does. I want to like Kota Minoura even the more, but that little geek is causing me not to, and I will NEVER take Kota Minoura seriously as the ACE of anything, until Minorita is eliminated out of the picture."

[6.0] "Minoura is one of future stars of the company and he's been delivering that promise for a while now."

[9.0] "If anyone had any doubts after Minoura's breakout year in 2020; 20201 has put them all to rest. He has consistently taken the pressure of a high profile matchup and delivered. The back clearly trusts him, giving him 2 big double-duty shows (King of Gate final Korakuen and Octobers #1 contender Korakeun) and thrived in this position. This rating was made just a few days after his first Dream Gate challenge and I cannot imagine a future where he isn't champion in the next year or two."

[9.0] "Kota Minoura is the personified future of Dragon Gate. Young, hungry, great look, fantastic in-ring (very methodical, many different styles), I can see him do great things in Dragon Gate. He fits well in the unit Masquerade, I hope to see him challenge for the Brave Gate or even Dream Gate soon."

[9.0] "I could see nothing but potential in Minoura as soon as he debuted, even before he got his new look with MASQUERADE. He reminds me of a young YAMATO. Easily the standout of the new crop of DG Trueborn."

[9.0] "This guy is an awesome performer, has a great team with Jason Lee and can be already considered as the future of Dragon Gate. He is very fluide in the ring and able to tell great stories. I have big hopes for him."
