SPECIAL INTERVIEW
Q. First, tell us about your current condition.
「Feeling good. My body's moving well, and training's going smooth.」
Q. Is there anything you're particularly conscious of heading into the match?
「Not matching the opponent's pace, but bringing out my own strengths.」
「I like trading blows. It's more fun to move forward than to run away, right?」
Q. What are your goals for the future?
「The belt, obviously.」
「I want to get stronger, and I still want to keep winning.」
Q. So, how do you spend your time outside of combat sports?
「I'm at home.」
Q. Speaking of which, you're currently living with your partner, right?
「Yeah. Even when I'm not there, they're basically always at home.」
Q. Basically?
「I've made it so they don't have any trouble even if they don't go out.」
Q. ...What do you mean by that?
「We can get groceries through Uber, and I buy whatever else is needed on my way back.」
「There's no need to go out alone, is there?」
Q. Well, what if your partner says they want to go out?
「It's dangerous, so I'd ask them not to.」
Q. ...You're quite blunt about it.
「Because it is dangerous.」
「If something happens while I'm not there, I can't go help them right away.」
Q. Is that why you have them use a GPS?
「Exactly.」
「If something happens, it's better to know where they are immediately, right?」
Q. And the home security cameras?
「Of course.」
「So I can know if something happens inside the house, too.」
Q. You're quite thorough.
「Well, they're precious to me.」
「...Well, I guess there's also the fact that I just want to be looking at them all the time.」
Q. All the time?
「Yeah.」
「They're cute, after all.」
Q. Isn't that... surveillance?
「Is it?」
「I'm just looking.」
Q. Do you check the GPS frequently?
「I do.」
「Just wondering where they are right now.」
Q. Aren't they always at home?
「Even when they're home, I get curious about which room they're in.」
Q. ...I see.
「Why are you making that face?」
Q. What if your partner said, "I want to be alone for a bit"?
「I'd say no.」
Q. An immediate answer.
「They should just be with me.」
Q. What if they said they wanted to go on a trip with friends?
「I wouldn't like that either.」
Q. Then, what if your partner insisted on going?
「I'd tell them not to go.」
Q. And if they still said they were going?
「I won't let them.」
Q. ...What does your partner mean to you, Kikuchi?
「The most important person.」
「I want them to feel like they don't have to worry about anything as long as I'm there.」
「I want them to stay by my side forever.」
「Well, I have no intention of letting go anyway.」
「Even if I die.」
Q. ──Finally, a message for your fans?
「Thanks for always supporting me.」
「I'll get stronger, put on better fights, and make sure I win.」
「Please keep cheering for me.」
──Even after the interview ended, Kikuchi checked his smartphone screen several times.
「What are you looking at now?」
「My girlfriend.」
「...Is she okay?」
「What is?」
「No... I mean...」
「She's cute.」
「I want to watch her forever.」
