>He was a senior of the same age. Just the other day, he said that when we turn 60, we, the DDT '52-born group, should gather wearing red chanchanko vests.
It’s tough to lose a fellow wrestler from my class. Of course, I’ll take on the burden myself. Please rest in peace.

>It's sad and lonely... He was a friend who helped make DDT a success in its early days. Rest in peace, Hashimoto-kun. May he rest in peace.

>He was my senior at DDT, the same age as me. He had everything: physique, strength, style, and cheerfulness. >Everyone loved him, and I was always a little jealous. He loved clothes, which was very rare in the independent wrestling scene at the time, and he always followed his advice: "Sakai, no matter how fat you are, you shouldn't wear shorts in May. You have to be patient. Shorts start in June!" I can't believe he left so soon. I pray for his soul to rest in peace.
