January 4, 2026. Hiroshi Tanahashi's retirement match will be held at Tokyo Dome.
In preparation for this historic day, Tanahashi and his fans will create a special project together.
『Support flag is starting to move.
“Support flags” are messages from customers to Tanahashi.A banner with a message and nicknameIt is.
Posted around Tokyo Dome on January 4th, and after postingIt will be delivered to you at a later date with Tanahashi's autograph.
And this time, for this project,I received a message from Hiroshi Tanahashi himself.
With the addition of one fan, the scenery of 1.4 will become closer to “Hiroshi Tanahashi’s color.”
From here, we will deliver a special moment heading to Tokyo Dome on 1.4, along with Tanahashi's words.
"Everywhere I look, it's Tanahashi, Tanahashi, Tanahashi (lol)"
The moment I told Tanahashi the details of the project, the words I received back made me smile.
First of all, I imagined many flags of my support being posted around Tokyo Dome (lol)
Everywhere I look, I see Tanahashi, Tanahashi, Tanahashi (lol)
I thought it would be a great idea to have the support flags autographed and delivered at a later date!
I would like to take in each message one by one and sign with my gratitude. I'm looking forward to seeing Hiroshi Tanahashi at Tokyo Dome on January 4, 2026!
On this day, what will decorate Tokyo Dome is...
Words from fans and Tanahashi's thoughts in response.
“I really wanted to make 26 types” The secret story behind the creation of 11 types of designs
How did you choose the design for the support flag?
When I asked him why, he gave an answer typical of Tanahashi.
Actually, I wanted to choose 26 types, because I wanted Tanahashi to choose one from his 26-year career. When I asked someone at the company, they said it was a lot (lol).
Because Tanahashi has spent 26 years cherishing each and every year, his desire to share every moment with his fans shines through.
The reason for choosing 11 types is Tanahashi's "strong commitment."
My IWGP heavy defense record is V11, so I made it 11 types!
The 11 photos carefully selected from 26 years of history are filled with the history that Tanahashi and his fans have created together.
This is Tanahashi's "favorite design"
Among the 11 types, which one does Tanahashi feel particularly strongly about?
I like them all, but it's the 2012 IWGP Heavyweight Championship 11th Defense Costume! I have a strong feeling for him because he broke his defense record at the Tokyo Dome tournament!
Yet another one.
The 2009 costume is also a costume that reminds me of my victory over Muto at the Tokyo Dome tournament!
There are many famous scenes that will move fans' hearts.
Which design is your “one piece of memory”?
“Read everything and get in the ring” Your message will help Tanahashi
The support flags include messages and nicknames from fans.
I'm asking the company to let me know all the messages before the Tokyo Dome tournament!
I will use the messages from all my fans as strength in my retirement match!
Those who will be coming on 1.4 will have a special experience of finding “their one” at Tokyo Dome. Even if you are unable to attend, this is a sure way to convey your feelings to Tanahashi.
Your one will become a part of the history that colors Tanahashi Retirement Road.
