Ultraman Z’s appearance time is

According to the official website of 『Kanazawa Ekimae Betsuin Dori Shopping Street』, this year’s Betsuin Festival will be held on Saturday, September 9, from 11:30 to 18:00.

Admission is free and viewing is free. Starting with the Meisei Elementary School Drum and Fife Team, you can enjoy dance performances, Okinawan singing sanshin, Legendary Blues Rock Band, Tahitian dance, singing Dr. Kitayama, and other stages, so you can spend time with your family.

In particular, don’t miss Ultraman Z and women’s wrestling.

Ultraman Z will appear around 12:50. There are so many Ultraman family members now that you may not know them. Watch this video to prepare yourself so that you can brag to your children.

The main character, Haruki Natsukawa (Hirano Hiromu), who transforms (becomes one with) Ultraman Z, is a karate expert, so his action may be a highlight on stage at the Betsuin Festival.

Do Aja Kong and Chihiro Hashimoto play matches?

Chihiro Hashimoto, a native of Fukui Prefecture and a member of Sendai Girls Pro Wrestling, also participated in last year’s 『Betsuin Fest』…. In January of this year, she was featured in 『Weekly Sanma and Matsuko』 (TBS), 「It’s coming now! The Secret of the Women’s Pro Wrestling Boom!」 (TBS) in January this year.
