丸藤正道（プロレスリング・ノア）ＶＳモモタロウ（ザ・モモタロウ）

I hope you will like it. I would appreciate your feedback for this drawing.

Extra Notes:

Let’s start with what originally inspired me to do this. I wanted to re-draw my drawing of Momotaroh from the manga series “THE MOMOTAROH”. It’s been years since I did the drawing, so I thought it’d be nice to draw it again. But I wanted to give it a twist.

Then I remembered a pro-wrestling event back in 2017 dedicated to THE MOMOTAROH. Pro-Wrestling NOAH wrestler Naomichi Marufuji wrestled in that event as Momotaroh, giving life to the manga character. Thus, I decided to make a NOAH-style match card involving a crossover between Marufuji and Momotaroh.

The interesting thing about this is that Naomichi Marufuji recently started a faction in NOAH called the M’s Alliance. Members of this faction have to be pro-wrestlers whose names begin with the letter M. Since the fictional Momotaroh fits that description, it seemed like a good crossover to illustrate. This M connection idea was supposed to be a surprise, but Marufuji realized it by himself days ago.

Nevertheless, I hope you guys enjoy the drawings I have for you today.
