Satoru Kishida

Satoru Kishida was a competitor and avid SASUKE fan from Kashihara, Nara. He was born on July 20, 1992. He competed in SASUKE Vietnam and in NNL (National Ninja League). His dream was to become one of the 100 competitors to attempt in a SASUKE competition and to achieve kanzenseiha.

In SASUKE Vietnam 2, he attempted Stage 1B and he completed the stage in 1:10 seconds, placing him in the 43rd fastest time of the Stage. He unfortunately failed on Stage 2 along with 48 other competitors.

Death
Sadly, one year later, Satoru had a cardiopulmonary arrest and he passed away on October 20, 2017. He was 25 years old.

His brother, Kishida Hayato, said this:

''My name is Kishida Hayato. I'm his old brother. Thank you for your kindness for my brother, Satoru.''

I have to tell you a bad news about Satoru.

''Octobar 19, my brother went into cardiopulmonary arrest in his room. He was admitted to University Hospital Emergency Room and hospitalized ICU.''

But, in spite of doctor and other staff's efforts, he died the next day 16:08, October 20.

''I can't believe it even now. His dream was to be a challenger of SASUKE and clear all stages of SASUKE!!''

''He work steadily for his dream. In the process of his training, he made a lot of SASUKE friends all over the world.''

''So, it is tragic that he end his life in the process of his dream. That's so sad...''

I miss him...

I'm really sorry that late for this news.

I would like to express my gratitude to the relevant persons for their efforts up to this point in time.

Thanks.

Satoru's brother
