He looks like a Kaito clone with black hair (for now). Wouldn’t be surprised if they have him go after Okada when he returns from this domestic excursion with Kaito now his mentor.
Has it been confirmed he’s doing an excursion to Noah?
It’s going to be really interesting to see how Oiwa does on excursion in NOAH. I don’t remember the last time a YL was sent on excursion to another domestic promotion (this may be the first time in recent memory). Maybe this opens up the door for a junior YL going on excursion to Dragon Gate.
oh wow they made him a kaito we have at home lol
WOW,He literally look like a kiyomiya clone
I really like his gear.
Interesting if they do another WK w/ Noah show next year. Perhaps a tag with Okada/Uemura vs Kiyomiya/Oiwa if we don’t get Okada vs Kaito.
At the very least there’s a GHC tag title run for Oiwa in NOAH with Kaito.
Just noticed that there’s some blonde where the tail of the mullet used to be; it’s such a weird look that I wonder if it might’ve actually gotten damaged from trying to bleach it, so he just chopped it off? Or maybe he’ll do a thing where as he gets “stronger,” he gets blonder?
Dayum Kaito is his mentor?? I find that crazy since he’s only 27 but I’m all for it! Excited to see how this goes
Oiwa’s first singles match in NOAH is on 9/17 in the Marufuji-Ospreay Korakuen show against Junta Miyawaki, the defacto top Kiyomiya cosplayer
