Kaisei Takechi has helped bring a lot of female fans into DDT in the 2 years he’s been active as a pro wrestler, or more specifically a “hybrid performer” much like fellow wrestler/stage performer O-MENZ Kumadori. So when injuries hit that really puts a damper on things, and unfortunately for Takechi-and the ladies-it’s happened again at a very bad time. Acute appendicitis. Out at least a month and that means, as a result, Takechi is out of the 2026 KING OF DDT Tournament. Replacement TBA.
More as it becomes available.
UPDATE: Kazuki Hirata is the replacement.
