Extra Notes:
Last year, I publicly made a promise that I would draw Kaito Kiyomiya if ever he won the GHC Heavyweight Championship. At 22 years old, he managed to win the Global League in Pro-Wrestling NOAH and was on track to be a rising star in the promotion. But he was up against Takashi Sugiura, one of its veteran champions. So I decided to make a little bet, just to see if the miracle would really happen.
True enough, Kiyomiya won and is now, as of this writing, the reigning GHC Heavyweight Champion. Sugiura had a very good run, but now it’s time for the young man to make his mark. And now the reality sets in: I have a drawing to make!
When Pro-Wrestling NOAH rebranded itself and Kiyomiya was up against Naomichi Marufuji, another veteran, I made another promise: I would finish the drawing by this month if Kiyomiya retained the championship. And so he did.
As such, this fan art is completed.
Admittedly, it’s kinda awkward to submit a fan art to a guy who is actually younger than me. But hey, he earned this, and I hope Kiyomiya enjoys this.
Fight on, champ!
