[8.0] "As someone coming from a very small promotion, Yuto's level of polish is honestly unbelievable. No wonder he became the ace of Dotonbori Pro Wrestling -- he really carried that company on his back. Just like everyone else, I really hope he joins NOAH sooner rather than later."
[8.0] "Although I don't get to see or watch Dotonbori Pro Wrestling, NOAH has introduced stars like Harutoki and the one I'm talking about now, Yuto Kikuchi, both of whom came from Dotonbori. Dotonbori got such interesting stars but anyway, Kikuchi is exciting to watch, with a pace and swiftness that shows he understands how to stay ahead of his opponent. He's so young and has so much potential. As a junior, he's capable of delivering performances that leave the audience in awe. He's a bright star with a promising future, and I hope he gets a big opportunity soon. He's such an underrated junior talent."
