Where has her mentor gone...? Furusawa Kian, the "second cutest in the world," is at a loss. This is because she has still not heard from Ito Maki, the mentor of the Ito Respect Group
Ito was defeated by the reigning champion, Sayaka Kurei, in the World of Stardom Championship match at the Aichi tournament on May 23rd. She was unable to win the top title just four months after joining Stardom
The shock was immense, and she appeared utterly exhausted at the May 26 Korakuen Hall event, where she suffered a crushing defeat, being pinned by Tsukiyama Waka. After the match, she fled the venue in a state of confusion
In search of his missing mentor, Furusawa searched parks in Sumida Ward, photo booths in Shinjuku Ward, the Kanda River, and the area around Tokyo Station. These are places where Ito is likely to be seen. He even created search flyers and appealed for cooperation on his own "X" account, saying, "I need everyone's help more than ever."
However, as of May 28th, they still haven't found a single clue. "I'm lonely. I'm filled with anxiety about whether we'll ever find him," Furusawa said, showing signs of impatience
There's a reason why she's so desperate to find her mentor. She feels responsible for her disappearance, as she analyzed it by saying, "I was sad because I couldn't win the World Championship belt, and then Kian accidentally hit Ito with a stunner, which made me even more depressed."
Moreover, a 3-way tag team match has been announced for the Kobe tournament on May 30th: Ito & Furusawa vs. Hazuki & Koguma vs. Maika & HANAKO. With tears in her eyes, Furusawa pleaded, "I believe Ito will come because she's a professional. But I'm scared if she doesn't come, so for now I'm desperately trying to find Maki Ito."
There are only two days left until the Kobe tournament. "Maybe I'll be in Kobe first. I'm hoping and thinking that!" Ichiru clings to her hopes, but will it actually happen...?
