Here is my entry for Kota Ibushi Appreciation Week 2018! 

First page: Fave match involving Kota + Kota and Kenny (Golden Lovers)

- I love all Kota’s matches, and his and Ishii’s G1 match this year really stood out!! It was super intense, honestly terrifying, and just a spectacle of how cool both of them are.

- The Golden Lovers are my favorite tag team and my favorite story in wrestling, I just absolutely love how they are with each other, and just how incredible it is to have a LGBTQA+ story in something I love so much!! Super excited for the new documentary.

Second page: Kota Outside the Ring + Kota in DDT + Gear Appreciation

- Kota outside the ring is just as wild as Kota inside it, his diet is ridiculous (burger with 5 meat patties, salts his potato chips, LOVES CHEESE (that fondue video is adorable), lots of alcohol, etc.), his clothes are supreme very hypebeast, and his flips off everything is the best.

- DDT has lots of my fave Kota moments, fireworks, his ASTOUNDING and TREACHEROUS matches with Forever Champ Yoshihiko, and baby Golden Lovers ;w;

- I love all Kota’s hairstyles, but esp his longer hair. I also loooove all his booty short styles, and his loooong boots. Beautiful. 

Third page: Kota Tagging w Partner(s) of Your Choice + General Kota Appreciation

- I mostly paired Kota with some of my other fave wrestlers even if it doesn’t make sense (him and Taichi are a prime example pair of this haha). I’d love to see him tag with Naito again...I love their relationship. And there’s lots of comedy potential with him and Taguchi. Also Yoh is very cute and it’d be so cute if he idolized Kota (who...is thinkin bout that balcony).

Kota Ibushi is my favorite wrestler of all-time! He holds a special place in my heart, was my introduction to wrestling period (along w Kenny, the GL story), and is such a delightful, strange, beautiful soul. I cried when he lost G1 this year, cried when he won the NEVER belt, and cry just thinking about him sometimes! I hope he can feel all our love and support for him, always rooting for his success!

Bonus: KOTA SNACC N SHOP

Here’s the black and white versions of my drawings for Kota Ibushi Appreciation Week (before I colored)!

(also the last image is a reference to that recent pic of Ibushi doing a handstand on a treadmill. Please never change, Ibushi).
