The three years I spent with my hometown team in Nagoya were an irreplaceable and precious time. I am deeply grateful to the members and staff who supported me as a leader, and to all the fans who cheered me on. I will carry the experience gained here as I embark on a new path. I would be happy if you continue to watch over me warmly.
Thank you very much.

■Comment from GM Kohei Iwata
Born in Nagoya, raised in Nagoya, and from Nagoya NTPOJA to the Street Fighter League—
KEI.B embodied all of that. His MVP performance in the league was the pride of us "Nagoya people."
After a disappointing 7th place in the inaugural year of 2023, we held roster meetings to discuss how to build a winning team while embodying our philosophy. We listed candidate players together and built the team, and I was truly happy that in 2025, with an all-Nagoya-affiliated roster, we achieved 2nd place in the S League regular season. He also actively participated in regional tournament commentary and events, which was very reassuring. At Nagoya NTPOJA's HOME events and fan meetings, his aggressive remarks and ability to draw big laughs were particularly memorable.
"From Nagoya to the World" – I am truly proud of your next challenge as you pave that path. And no matter where or what career path you take, Nagoya will always be a place for you to return to. When you consider your next career, let's work together again! We'll be waiting.
