Gordman: In wrestling, your entrance theme is called "The Sun Rises" by Rei Kondo from the game Okami. Is there anything special for you in relation to this wonderful game? 
Kana: OKAMI is the best game. Then, the main theme of the game ("The Sun Rises") is best.

Gordman: My website is dedicated to the Sega Master System. What do you think about this cult console from the 80´s and 90´s?
Kana: I love Sega. It is also my motion capture "Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown".
I am particularly fond of Mega Drive (Rampart, Crying, Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Headdy, Granada).
