BEAST X (Beast Ten), operated by nationwide free broadcast BS10, announces that they finished the regular season of the professional mahjong league "M.League 2025-26", which concluded on Friday, March 27, 2026, in 3rd place, securing their first-ever advancement to the semi-final series in their 3rd year since the team's founding.

▼Looking Back at the Regular Season

This season, BEAST X began with the significant decision of "roster changes." Newcomer Geki Shimomori achieved an individual score of 614 points, earning him the MVP (Individual Score Award). Captain Rio Tojo, who returned to the M.League, also demonstrated overwhelming stability and brought momentum to the team. Kana Nakata, fueled by the regrets of the past two seasons, significantly surpassed her personal best score with her delicate yet bold offensive play, awakening as the team's point-getter. Daisuke Suzuki, who has led the team since its inception, also made great strides, especially after January 2026, using last season's regrets as motivation. Although there were difficult moments, the team's persistent aggressive style throughout the latter half of the season resulted in breaking through the regular season in the M.League 2025-26 season, their 3rd year since founding.

Looking ahead to the semi-finals starting Monday, April 6th, we will fight each match with all our might alongside our supportive fans, based on this year's team slogan, "Hunt, the Summit."

【Rio Tojo】

I am truly happy to be back in the semi-finals in my first year since returning to the M.League. Also, it gives me peace of mind and I am truly grateful to be able to fight in the semi-finals with a significant lead built up by my teammates. To increase our chances of winning the championship, it's better to maintain this lead as we advance to the finals, so I want to win my battles against myself in the semi-finals and add more points. I hope the fans feel that it was a good decision to have me join the team and that I returned to the M.League. I want to contribute as many points as possible to the team and fight without any regrets until the very end.
