(BIG JAPAN) Reiwa's Pro-wrestlers: Takuya Nomura

"Kakugo" ("prepared")

Takuya Nomura, who received attention immediately after his debut, now has the impression that he has entered the "incubation period​" while fighting.
The other day, despite the fact that the number one contender for the BJW World Strong Heavyweight was formed out of his own assertion, he lost to Daichi Hashimoto in the first round. However, he has thoughts about this.
Although Nomura had hit the ground during the usual fierce battle, he had a feeling that the "change" had faded more than before. Personally he thinks about this analysis and says "it hasn't changed". But, in the end, if you are strong then pain looks like it is being beaten. It is a good thing that he does not feel it that much anymore, but it may also be evidence that "the difference is gradually getting smaller".

Since Nomura attacked wrestlers with a furious fight, depicting the "scattered aesthetics" of kicking and hitting, and certainly using such a fight as a trainee there will be the impact of evaluation, but "stopping there" forever does not make you reach the upper ranks. The destiny for Nomura is more than that...in other words, he should go beyond the point of change, because he wants to become of the bigger stars that Big Japan produces. Even though he lost the match that I saw, I felt that I could see Nomura's way of gong to the top. To be honest, Nomura is in a newcomers era, and so has the possibility of producing results all at once. Writing critically, and to put it into other words, this burst of a fierce fight from the early days would not have made it look strange for him to take the belt.
But he cannot get results.
Perhaps there are many fans who feel frustrated, but rather than becoming a wrestler who is a shooting star that burns out and fades away, Nomura has his feet placed firmly on the ground, and has the potential to become a rising star, and still, if this outcome is done secretly, then Nomura may be a shooting star.
And it also appears that Nomura seems not to listen too much to what the seniors say.

In society it is hard, but in wrestling, you cannot help feeling the possibility of becoming a star.
"I don't think there were too many people like me in the previous strong BJ, so its a case of "I will not change myself". It is best not to, even if you don't have results, but while it is good to say you are different, what about changing for results to come out...for better or worse, I am not listening to anything that is said. You only live once don't you? I want to live as much as I can."
It is more important to be yourself, than get immediate results.

Currently his weight is 95kg and the groups heavyweight regulations are clear, but he wants to increase his muscle tone.
He says "If you work very hard at something, you will see the sunshine".
This is how Nomura sees Nomura and his current surroundings. He speaks objectively about the current situation like this, "I like it. It may not be working so well, but now it is the most fun. It might not be visible from the surroundings, but I am optimistic and I don't think much about what is around me".
Be prepared for simplicity.
"I think all pro-wrestlers are prepared for it, but I wrestle one match with one soul. I don't know how long I can do it for, but I want to confront each match by being "prepared".
Nomura is breaking away from his shell.

*Hakana is a hard word to translate as it tries to convey a sense of effervescence, transience and change.
