Taka Michinoku

Taka Michinoku said that he’s looking to take bookings outside of Japan for the first time in years.

Until now, I have refused all offers for matches outside of Japan. However, next year, depending on my schedule and conditions, I'm thinking about doing matches overseas. Please contact me at takam69@yahoo.co.jp
