[10.0] "He's a hard worker with a warm heart, who also happens to have a unique gift of expressing playfulness and gruesomeness simultaneously in a single canvas instead of making it into two conflicting faces. Watching Katsumata Shunma's matches gives you a hint of how to navigate a painful world without losing joy. He's the wrestler who introduced me to the world of pro wrestling during the darkest times."
[8.0] "He's on his third extreme title run and I think it's safe to say he's found a niche he does exceptionally well in. He's passionate and athletic and funny and willing to do just about any wacky match type DDT puts him up to. It's very easy to root for this guy, and whatever slight imperfections he has here and there kind of melts away in his charisma."
[8.0] "Shunma is a great utility player who can adapt into any role. He does well in singles, tag or comedy roles. He also works as an excellent underdog against larger roster members like Higuchi, Akiyama, and Hino. Has been doing more and more death matches with BJW under his Super Hardcore Shunma persona and has really taken to that as well."
[8.0] "Shunma's great! Since I started watching more and more DDT this year, he's been one of the standouts along with all the usual suspects you'd expect. I don't know if DDT would be as exciting without this mad man."
[9.0] "one of the most interesting and entertaining characters in Japan. his extreme title run is really good so far and he can be DDT's top star soon."
[7.0] "Shunma is a very good wrestler, but I can't really see more being more than he is right now - a consistent tag/trios wrestler who's always super reliable. On one hand, it's important that these wrestlers exist, and they are very valuable, but on the other I feel like it's important to have potential to be more than you are right now, and those two are not mutually exclusive."
[8.0] "Shunma is credible. He had a wonderful stretch in New Wrestling Aidoru, he continued to show himself well after the breakup and does it further. It seems to me that Katsumata can play absolutely any role. His acting is at the highest level, and no matter what funny crap he does, I believe him."
