My prayers and hope are with him. I hope to see him make a comeback from this quickly, and retire to a nice, quiet, trouble free life when he feels ready.

Kensuke Sasaki will replace Kobashi for the tag match with Yoshihiro Takayama against Misawa & Akiyama on July 16th at Nippon Budokan.

best wishes to Kobashi and his family. Kobashi was the wrestler who first got me interested in Puro. Hopefully he makes a speedy recovery and returns soon.

Sad news for Kobashi, he's a great wrestle. I hope he pulls through.

An Update:

Kenta Kobashi underwent successful surgery on Friday to remove a right kidney tumor. The doctors performing the surgery stated that they did not see the tumor spread to any other organs in the body, which is a very good sign. The surgery took 5 1/2 hours and was a success.

It's been reported that he will be out of the hospital before the end of the month.

A good news.

Excellent!
Now, will he keep wrestling or not?
Either way is fine at this point, as he really owes us nothing, but I'd like to see him in a few more matches
