Arata Kimura is the older brother of his baby sister Hana, who supported her throughout her pro wrestling career, and loved her so much that the two would always tease each other, meeting Natsumi Maki, better known as Natsupoi.
The two would become...
Sumie drove me to the dojo and I gotta say, this is probably the most nervous I've ever felt.
I don't know how Shibata is gonna greet me when I get there, but it's definitely going to be an experience I'll never forget.
When we finally arrived, it looked welcoming...

I got out of the car, saying bye to Sumie, hugging her as well, and walked over to him.
Me: 柴田さん！ (Shibata-san!)
Shibata: やあ、木村ちゃん！ (Hey, Kimura-chan!)
We both hugged as it was great to see him, and quite surprising to know he was that friendly.
Shibata: 元気ですか？ (How are you?)
Me: 大丈夫です。一緒にトレーニングできるのを楽しみにしています。 (I'm alright. Looking forward to training with you.)
Shibata: 私もです。あなたがレスリングに挑戦することを私は全面的に支持します。本当にそう思います。さあ、中に入って話しましょう。 (So am I. I am all for you trying to wrestle. I really am. Come on, let's get inside and talk about it.)
Me: 右。 (Right.)
We got inside and I saw that the trainees stopped what they were doing to see me walk in.
I then saw Schuyler (Scorpio Sky) noticing me, but he said to the trainees...
Schuyler: Underappreciated wrestling royalty in the dojo, show some respect!
Trainees: Yes sir!
They all started to come towards me, shaking my hand as I really did appreciate all the respect they were showing me.
I may not be a wrestler yet, but to know that I'm part of royalty in wrestling, even though my mom never got to have that exposure, it's kinda cool.
After a while of getting to know them and conversing in the best English I can muster, I had to get with Shibata and talk to him about we plan out my wrestling training.
