Today marks the 1st anniversary of my time as an official contract artist for @allelitewrestling.com! It's been a wild year and I've got to make so much cool art for #AEW in that time. Thank you to everyone at AEW and Pro-Wrestling Tees for making this possible!

Hit up ShopAEW.com for new designs!

Today is the first day in a couple weeks that I woke up in the morning without horrendous pain in my face, so despite the financial hit I'm happy I finally got the ball rolling on getting my tooth fixed. Turns out I had a fully exposed nerve!

Japanese Shipwreck slick as hell

I don’t know what I expected the Japanese version of Shipwreck to sound like… but somehow, it’s the actual things he’s saying which are more surprising.

Matt and Jeff Hardy are legends. The memories they created came with a physical toll.

They probably can't and shouldn't have 5-star matches. That's fine. They have so much good will, it doesn't matter.

But fans can see "storytelling" anywhere.

TNA needs a strong, unique identity.

Good thread.

Wrestling is a lot of things; I love my rad hard hitting Strong Style, wild death match brawls and my Lucha Libre high-flying stunts but I also like weirdo characters and promo battles so honestly my ideal wrestling is a mix of everything.

Now hold on. Matt isn't wrong. He isn't quite "old man yelling at cloud," here. Making moves/moments count and not just doing a bunch of shit just to do it, is good advice.

BUT-

I believe he is mistaken about what defines a "high quality match," or is using the wrong phrase. 🧵

This will be my third root canal this year, with the last two in January, and my insurance decided to stop covering it halfway through the surgery, so this is probably going to wipe out my available finances right around Christmas time so that's super cool

Only Harada rules enough to drop a soundcloud link in his retirement letter

Katsuhiro Harada to leave Bandai Namco at end of the year
I’d like to share that I’ll be leaving Bandai Namco at the end of 2025. With the TEKKEN series reaching its 30th anniversary—an important milestone for a project I’ve devoted much of my life to—I felt this was the most fitting moment to bring one chapter to a close. My roots lie in the days when I supported small local tournaments in Japanese arcades and in small halls and community centers overseas. I still remember carrying arcade cabinets by myself, encouraging people to “Please try TEKKEN,” and directly facing the players right in front of me. The conversations and atmosphere we shared in those places became the core of who I am as a developer and game creator. Even as the times changed, those experiences have remained at the center of my identity. And even after the tournament scene grew much larger, many of you continued to treat me like an old friend—challenging me at venues, inviting me out for drinks at bars. Those memories are also deeply precious to me. In recent years, I experienced the loss of several close friends in my personal life, and in my professional life I witnessed the retirement or passing of many senior colleagues whom I deeply respect. Those accumulated events made me reflect on the “time I have left as a creator.” During that period, I sought advice from Ken Kutaragi—whom I respect as though he were another father—and received invaluable encouragement and guidance. His words quietly supported me in making this decision. Over the past four to five years, I’ve gradually handed over all of my responsibilities, as well as the stories and worldbuilding I oversaw, to the team, bringing me to the present day. Looking back, I was fortunate to work on an extraordinary variety of projects—VR titles (such as Summer Lesson), Pokkén Tournament, the SoulCalibur series, and many others, both inside and outside the company. Each project was full of new discoveries and learning, and every one of them became an irreplaceable experience for me. To everyone who has supported me, to communities around the world, and to all the colleagues who have walked alongside me for so many years, I offer my deepest gratitude. I’ll share more about my next steps at a later date. Thank you very much for everything. 【Postscript】 Although I will be leaving the company at the end of 2025, Bandai Namco has asked me to appear at the TWT Finals at the end of January 2026, so I expect to attend as a guest. For 30 years I kept saying, “I’ll do it someday,” and never once performed as a DJ at a tournament event. So instead, I will be releasing—for the first and last time—a 60-minute TEKKEN DJ-style nonstop mix (DJ mix), personally edited by myself, together with this announcement. Listening to it brings back many memories. Thank you again, sincerely, for all these years. ‘TEKKEN: A 30-Year Journey – Harada’s Final Mix’ by Katsuhiro Harada 1 is on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/pEYofA4yXOwyC7lj0O December 8, 2025 - The Final Day of TEKKEN’s 30th Anniversary - Katsuhiro Harada
