木村花が永眠しました。花は勝ち気そうで実はナイーブな女の子でした。きっともっともっとプロレスがやりたかっただろう。ジュリアとの対決はまだまだ見せたかった。

I saw, maybe 1 match with Hana Kimura. I’m literally in tears over this. 22 fucking years old, with the world at her feet. Unbelievable. Please for the love of God if u have those feelings get help from someone, anyone. Even a stranger would rather here than not. #RIPHanaKimura

Legit, my first day at stardom, she was the most welcoming cause she had the best English out of the entire locker room, she loved taking to the gaijin’s to improve her English. I looked forward to seeing her every show. I’m truly heartbroken right now #RIPHana pic.twitter.com/J0zFfNDR2X

I couldn’t imagine dealing with hate on social media at 22. I can barely handle it now. Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves. 💔#HanaKimura #RIPHanaKimura

Hana Kimura was one of the first women to wrestle on a Wrestle Kingdom show, working in front of a packed Tokyo Dome this January. A whole, history making career was ahead of her. 22-years-old. Heartbreaking doesn’t even begin to cover it #RIPHanaKimura pic.twitter.com/i8HXD81AB4

such a young girl that was only 22 yrs old 💔 bullied over a tv show. People are so cruel she didn’t deserve the hate and bullying. #RipHanaKimura pic.twitter.com/cppiuMAeN8

Imagine a world where people go online and DONT say ridiculously hurtful things to others. It’s not funny … it’s not cute ..it’s not trolling… It’s disgusting behavior and you trolls should be ashamed of yourselves #RIPHanaKimura

I am completely sick to my stomach about the news of @hanadayo0903 This cyber bullying needs to stop! She had a bright future. I am so sorry Hana. #RipHanaKimura #HanaKimura

This is heartbreaking that a young and talented women’s wrestler passed away at 22. I didn’t know about her as much until tonight but I know that she had a huge career ahead of her. Nobody deserves to be bullied to where it drives someone to suicide. #RIPHanaKimura 💔 pic.twitter.com/1tr4sKjPBq

TROLLED to the point of taking her life! Im so angry!!! Trolling has to stop but unfortunately we will have many more deaths because its fun right
My thoughts and prayers go to her parents, they must be broken #RIPHanakimura https://t.co/6Y2PV3f046— Julia Hamer (@RealsarayaK) May 23, 2020
Wish I had better pics.. I had the honor of seeing Hana as one of the 1st women perform at WK 14 for Stardom. Her star presence was undeniable… she was so young, w/ limitless potential.
And now she’s gone. At 22 years old.
This isn’t fair.
Be kind to all.#RIPHanaKimura pic.twitter.com/kDjWx6QvNC

F bullies. Y’all need to wake up.. these are REAL people. Not just characters in a TV show, movie or whatever. Tragic.
RIP Hana. Gone too soon. 🤍

Hana…I love you girl. I have not been this emotionally devastated by a wrestlers death since Chris Benoit and Eddie Guererro. I cannot believe you’re gone because people bullied and harassed you into such a mental state. My god, you will be missed. I am at a loss…. pic.twitter.com/xnBUBmsmZq

So devastating & heartbreaking 💔#RIPHanaKimura
If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all!
It takes zero effort to be kind & even less effort to just say nothing if it’s going to be nasty. Bullying HAS to STOP!!My thoughts are with Hana’s loved ones 🙏

Remember people your words can’t effect people a lot more than you know cause you have no clue what they are dealing with. Especially when people gang up on one person then this is what happens. Another sad loss for the wrestling community.— 👑🎮BKG🎮👑 (@BlanKinGaming_) May 23, 2020
明日からは花さんの分まで、各人が各人の場所で頑張り、全世界のプロレス界を盛り上げていく事が花さんのためになると思います…
7月のWWE日本公演の際は、花さんが憧れたASUKAさん、共に拳を交えたカイリさんやイオさんを育てた日本の女子プロレスをスターには感じて欲しい。#RIPHanaKimura

花ちゃん。
かけがえのない大切な仲間を失いました。
心にぽっかりと穴があき、この現実を受け入れることが今は難しいです。— KAIRI SANE (@KairiSaneWWE) May 23, 2020
今となっては、彼女が苦しむ理由も相談も、誰もきいてあげられない。
自分を愛してくれてる人のために生きてほしかった。せめて今度こそ、彼女を愛してくれる人の想いが届いていてほしい。
どうか、どうか安らかに。 pic.twitter.com/mylEnMrAXS— 紫雷イオ、Io Shirai (@shirai_io) May 23, 2020
この悲しい気持ちをどこに向けたらいいのか分からないし、なんと言ったらいいのか言葉が見つからないですが…、花ちゃんがまだ小さかった頃いつも、おばあちゃんと一緒に会場に来ていたのを思い出します。

渡米するまで数年間、毎日沢山の、死ね、女子プロレスを壊すな、この業界から去れとメールが私の元へきました。
そして今日は、他の選手がコメントを出してるのに、まだお前はコメントをださないのか、ときました。
自分の正義感に前のめり過ぎて、同類だと気がついてないんですきっと。これが怖い。— ASUKA / 明日華 (@WWEAsuka) May 23, 2020
花、順番が違うぞ!!
花はこれからだったんだぞ
老いた婆より先に行くか?
花、平手打ちしたいぞ!バカタレが。虐めた人種は生涯この子への攻め口を背負って生きなさい。因果応報があるならばさ。花 泣くに泣けないぞ。
いつか また
プロレスしような。
まってろよ。 pic.twitter.com/UUZHEGpiZZ— 長与 千種 Chigusa Nagayo (@chigusa8888) May 23, 2020
It’s insane how you just watch someone on a show and can connect with them. A show like terrace especially makes you feel like you’re a part of these people’s lives, and it hurts so much when something like this happens. I’m so sad she was such a beautiful person #RIPHanaKimura
— Sloan Priest (@spriest91) May 23, 2020
Last night I had many thoughts about Hana Kimura as she was one of the most charismatic wrestlers especially for her age & I was so excited to see how her career turned out.
But this morning I just can’t get her mom Kyoko off my mind.
What an absolute tragedy.#RIPHanaKimura pic.twitter.com/1GQQJ8yhtR

本当に悲劇です。木村花さんの心がこの世界の壁を超えた. RIP.
私たちの世界は私たちの言葉と行動とで繋がっている。一つ一つ。アンチを書く人は臆病者だ。この生き方で本当にいいの?Hateで作られた世界がきっと早く崩れる。
この世界で私たちの目的はお互いを愛することだ。

Yes, we are public figures. Yes, we play characters on TV. Yes, we still get bullied every day by people who think words don’t hurt.
I’m reposting this thread as a reminder to us all.

Thankyou for teaching me japanese, teaching me japanese dances, always checking I’m okay, for being my translator.
Most importantly, thank you for being there and making me laugh.

わがままで
言うこと聞かなくて
本当に迷惑ばかりかけられたけど
よく笑って、よく食べて
誰よりも素直で純粋な花が大好きです。もっと行きたいところあったし、まだ叶えられてない夢も約束も沢山ある。
もっと一緒に過ごしてどうでもいいこと話して笑ってリングで試合できると思ってた。 pic.twitter.com/nVpXtBnUK3— 小波(KONAMI) (@k_o_n_a_m_i_) May 23, 2020
数ヶ月できる限り花のそばにいました
辛かったね、苦しかったね、
私も一緒に闘った
少しでも命繋げられたかな
最期も声を掛け続けました…
無念でなりません。
綺麗な姿で送ってあげるからね
花の魂が安らいでいきますように
帰り道に見た今年の桜、、忘れないよ
来年はもっと綺麗な花が咲くのかな🌸 pic.twitter.com/GLpWFHQCXn— ジャングル叫女 Jungle Kyona (@junglekyona) May 24, 2020
