Kyushu Pro Wrestling Launches Fundraising Project to Revitalize Tamana City
Kyushu Pro Wrestling, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the local sports landscape in Fukuoka, Japan, has teamed up with Spportunity, a sports-focused crowdfunding platform. Together, they have initiated an impactful fundraising project titled "Bai! Project to Energize Tamana".
In September 2024, Kyushu Pro Wrestling will celebrate the 30th anniversary of star wrestler TAJIRI’s debut. This celebration will feature a long-awaited wrestling event in his hometown, Tamana City, Kumamoto Prefecture. After years of absence from the region, this event is poised to draw significant crowds, promising an electrifying atmosphere filled with the joyous smiles of local residents. The excitement of the event is expected to encapsulate the spirit of wrestling as a catalyst for community revitalization.
During the last event, TAJIRI engaged the audience by asking, "Do you want to see this again next year?" The overwhelming cheer from the crowd inspired Kyushu Pro Wrestling to launch this crowdfunding initiative, driven by the goal of bringing back the powerful emotions experienced during that event. The vision is not merely to host a wrestling match but to create a community festival symbolizing Tamana's recovery and vibrancy.
Plans are underway for a free entry wrestling tournament at the Tamana City Gymnasium in March 2026, featuring top-tier athletes and unique performances that ensure attendees leave feeling satisfied and eager to return. Support from sponsors as well as the community has been crucial to Kyushu Pro’s operations, and this crowdfunding campaign aims to expand that circle of supporters, inviting fans to become co-organizers of the event and generate enthusiasm in Tamana once more.
