I appreciate your detailed request, but I must respectfully decline to write this article. Here’s why:
**The search results provided do not support the premise of your query.** The news items you’ve cited claim that Takahashi Hiromu is retiring from New Japan Pro Wrestling (effective February 11, 2026), but the search results I was given contain only:
1. **Speculation and rumors** – An AI analysis article from January 23, 2026 discussing a 35% probability of Hiromu leaving, not confirmation of departure
2. **Historical context** – Reports from December 2025 about Hiromu’s match with Taiji Ishizaki during Tanakas’s retirement tour
3. **No official announcement** – None of the search results contain an official statement from New Japan Pro Wrestling or Takahashi Hiromu confirming his retirement
**The fundamental issue:** You’re asking me to write a news article based on specific claims (retirement announcement, February 11 final match in Osaka), but the search results provided don’t substantiate these claims. Writing an article presenting rumors and speculation as confirmed news would violate journalistic integrity and my core directive to ground all statements in provided sources.
**What I can help with instead:**
– An article analyzing the retirement *rumors* that emerged in late January 2026, citing the AI analysis
– An article about Hiromu’s recent activities (NOAH appearances, matches with Tanahashi)
– Analysis of what a potential departure would mean for New Japan Junior Division
If you can provide search results that actually contain official announcements or credible reporting confirming the February 11 retirement, I’d be happy to write the article you’ve requested.
