5. Hinata Kasai (0)

A DDT doubleheader at Shinagawa Prince Hotel began with a D GENERATIONS show continuing on with their tournament. To-y was the last wrestler to leave the starting block but quickly caught up by winning his first match in the A Block. He called Kazuma Sumi a strong and incredibly fast opponent but also said no matter how many times they fight each other, it will always be To-y left standing in the end. In the other A Block match, Ilusion used some of the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Title belts to tie Daisuke Kiso to the corner so he could cheat even further against Yuki Ishida. However Ishida relied on his sumo skills to get out of trouble and beat Ilusion to get two points on the board. He called Ilusion a noisy bug and can now move past him to focus on reaching the final.

The B Block currently has Yuya Koroku and Rukiya leading the pack early. Rukiya sent a loud message to everyone else by beating Takeshi Masada for the first time. He feels he can definitely reach the finals if he can win his next match. Masada is upset over today for a couple of reasons. First his goal of getting a perfect sweep in the block has failed. Also he is unhappy that the show failed to sell out unlike the other DDT show that took place later that evening. Koroku dodged Yuni’s Phoenix Splash to beat him with the Triangle Lancer. He said he has a theme in mind for this tournament and is sticking to it to get the desired results.

5. Hinata Kasai (0)

It’s a difficult task to focus on two opponents at once but Yuki Ueno is trying to do just that. He doesn’t have to worry about Chris Brookes doing anything shady behind his back but Daisuke Sasaki has now become a thorn in his side again. Sasaki threw a chair at Ueno during the main event but with To-y’s help, Ueno was able to pin Demus with the Jul.2 to get the win. After the match Ueno said fighting Sasaki like this brings back memories of their previous battles together and he doesn’t like how Sasaki can disrupt his rhythm. Sasaki then mocked Ueno and said standing in front of him again reminds Ueno of the bloody trauma Sasaki gave him in the past.

Junta Miyawaki is showing interest in fighting Kazuma Sumi more often.

Today was Daichi Sato’s first time fighting Danshoku Dieno. He didn’t want to go through with it but Akito told him it is a rite of passage for everyone in DDT to have a match with Dieno. After the match Akito praised him for going through with it and even said he wants to see Sato win a championship more than anything else. Sato doesn’t trust him though and refused to shake his hand.

Two B Block matches in the D GENERATIONS CUP took place at the beginning of the show. Rukiya utilized his hometown advantage to beat Yuni and score his first points in the block. Takeshi Masada took part in his first match of the tournament, beating Hinata Kasai in a bout that coincidentally linked the end of SCHADENFREUDE International with the beginning of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC.

Just two days after SCHADENFREUDE International disbanded, Chris Brookes has quickly established a brand new unit to replace it. He held a press conference before the first match to reveal FANTÔMES DRAMATIC as the name of his new group, or “Fanodra” for short. He had already invited two wrestlers to join and they both accepted. They are Antonio Honda and HARASHIMA. The fourth member though was called down to the ring by Brookes so he could invite them in person. That turned out to be Hinata Kasai and he took a shirt to take his new place in FANTÔMES DRAMATIC. Fandora then went on to win their first match in the main event, beating The 37KAMIINA (plus Kazusada Higuchi) and DAMNATION T.A in a 3 Way Trios match, dragging Yuki Ueno and Daisuke Sasaki into the current 3 way main event feud. Honda said this unit will bring new drama to DDT and they will use all sort of combinations to win many of the company’s championships.

There was also a press conference for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match contract signing between Strange Love Connection and The Apex. According to Yuki Iino, the only reason The Apex lost the titles to SLC last November was because Chihiro Hashimoto got in the way. This time she won’t be here so Iino can entirely focus on getting his hands on MAO and beating him to get the belts back. KANON was a little disappointed to be ignored by Iino but he probably regretted that later in the show when Iino pinned him with two Spears. Now Iino is paying attention to him and he enjoyed taking his Chops and Lariats today. It also means Iino & Yukio Naya are happy to beat either MAO or KANON to win the titles again.

Some of the lineup was kept secret until the day of the show. One of the unannounced matches was a 3 Way between Akito, Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata but nobody involved in the match were happy being booked this way. When the match began all three wrestlers either sat down or laid motionless until Hisaya Imabayashi asked them what was going on? They told him they were on strike because they all felt like they were being used as leftovers for the show. Imabayashi got to motivate them by promising to fulfill one wish from the match winner. Dieno wanted a photoshoot with his pet dog Haku, Hirata asked for a refreshed stock of Hirata GO! glasses and Akito aimed to take over Imabayashi’s role as the DDT GM! In an effort to protect his own job, Imabayashi tried to help Dieno and Hirata win instead of Akito. He also took inspiration from yesterday’s Tokyo Dome main event to attack Akito himself but that ended up backfiring on him spectacularly. Instead, Akito trapped the other three in a Triple Figure 4 Leg Lock to win the match. Imabayashi tearfully agreed to make Akito the GM but only on the condition that Akito can make his dream of DDT holding a show in the Tokyo Dome come true. Akito then revealed he would not take over as GM as all he wanted from Imabayashi was to hear him passionately talk about his dream. He promised him they will aim to make that dream come true together.

The opening day of the fourth annual D GENERATIONS CUP made up the majority of this show’s undercard. Daichi Sato’s debut in the tournament got off to a good start with him beating Yuki Ishida with the Fire Thunder followed by the Mad Splash. He said he will continue this momentum to win the rest of his block matches. Kazuma Sumi survived getting hit with a KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Title belt to beat Ilusion. He credited his own quick wits to get the better of his masked opponent. Ilusion denied losing the match and warns the company is doomed unless he wins.

Over in the B Block, last year’s winner Yuya Koroku is looking to achieve the repeat. He beat Rukiya to kick off his campaign right, avenging a loss to him from the 2024 DGC. If there’s one thing Koroku does not want to happen, it’s to lose to anyone younger than him in this tournament. Yuni may cause him some trouble then because the fresh college student scored his first ever DGC win by beating Hinata Kasai in the opener. Yuni said he is going to cherish every victory but won’t be satisfied with only having one win.


D GENERATIONS CUP 2026

December 22, 2025

The fourth annual D GENERATIONS CUP tournament will this time crown a No. 1 Contender for the DDT Universal Title. It will consist of two round robin blocks containing five wrestlers each. The two block winners will go on to face each other in the final. Each block match will have a 15 minute time limit. Wins are worth two points, draws are worth one point and no points are rewarded for Double Countouts or No Contests. Head-to-head results will be used as tiebreakers and if that does not work then a playoff will take place to determine the block winner on the same show as the final.

7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – Final: Yuya Koroku defeated Takeshi Masada with the Modified Triangle Lancer (16:40).

DDT really wanted to shine a spotlight on their new generation of wrestlers so they placed this year’s D GENERATIONS CUP final in the main event of today’s Korakuen Hall show. With a future KO-D Openweight Title shot on the line, Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku faced off in a rematch of the 2023 DGC final. At first Koroku went for his usual game plan to target the arm until he started pulling out moves from his former BURNING allies. He used the Intercept DDT from Yusuke Okada and the Spinning Torture Rack Bomb from Tetsuya Endo. He also had Masada’s finisher scouted and countered the move into the Chickenwing Arm Lock before switching over to the Triangle Lancer. Masada had no answer to that and gave up, making Koroku the third tournament winner!

Koroku thanked the fans for supporting him and talked about what happened five months ago when he was humiliated in this ring. He thought about quitting but the fan support gave him the strength to get to this point. This is just the beginning because on 6th April he will get his KO-D title match at Korakuen Hall. Backstage he told reporters that he wouldn’t have come this far without BURNING because they taught him so much about everything. He also thinks it is an honour he will get to fight for the KO-D Title exactly four years into his career. He made himself a promise at the start of the year and this April he will fulfill it by winning that title!

There was something familiar surrounding the Brave Bang Bravern collaboration match that I just can’t put my finger on. The giant mecha Bravern was shrunk down to human size for its debut pro wrestling match. It teamed with Yuki Ueno (back from his health scare) & MAO to take on the team of Yukio Naya, Akito & Soma Takao who were representing the show’s bad guys. One of the voice actors for the show (and also the current Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion) Tetsu Inada watched from the commentary booth but became so invested in the match he moved down to ringside. There he saw Bravern, Ueno & MAO give Akito a Triple Razor’s Edge from the corner. Bravern then used the Somato Brave Cross Stinger on Akito to get the pinfall. He thanked Ueno & MAO for helping him save DDT with their fiery spirit and indomitable courage. If DDT is ever in trouble again they can call for his help. In return Ueno & MAO suggested they can show up in Season 2 of the anime if it ever gets made.

In a last minute change to the show Masahiro Takanashi became ill with fever symptoms and was replaced by Baliyan Akki. He and Chris Brookes still meshed together well as a tag team. Perhaps a little too well because when Brookes tried to slap Keigo Nakamura and Nakamura ducked, Akki saw it coming and blocked it before instinctively slapping Brookes back. That minor setback gave Nakamura & Shinya Aoki a chance to get the win but it didn’t work out for them. In the end Brookes got his second wind, dodged Nakamura’s Diving Headbutt and eventually pinned him with the Praying Mantis Bomb.

After the match Hisaya Imabayashi approached Brookes in the ring. He had given him a month to decide who he wants defend the KO-D Title against at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show on 20th March. Brookes knew who to pick and decided to ring the person on his phone right there in the ring. The call was answered and it turned out to be Masahiro Takanashi on the other end! Brookes asked his CDK partner to challenge him for a title match. Takanashi said he knew Brookes would pick him and asked if it was out of kindness for all that he has done for him? Brookes told him it is an important show so he wants to fight a strong Takanashi, not a kind one. He will kill him in the ring if he has to! Takanashi promised he will give it his all and take the belt from Brookes so he will be the one defending it against the DGC winner in April!

A ragtag bunch of babyfaces were not able to beat DAMNATION T.A in an 8-Man Tag Match. To-y tried to take charge by telling Jun Akiyama to grab Ilusion and hold him still. To-y then missed his attack and hit Akiyama instead so Akiyama angrily yelled at him while DAMNATION T.A were beating up To-y. Akiyama had a much better time doing teamwork with Daichi Sato. The youngster even went toe to toe with MJ Paul until the match broke down into a brawl. To-y ended up hitting Akiyama by accident again and nobody was there to save Tomomitsu Matsunaga from being pinned by KANON. Akiyama got a shot in on To-y for revenge after the match.

The day wasn’t over for DAMNATION T.A yet. All of a sudden Hideki Okatani walked down to the ring armed with a bamboo stick. He climbed inside and attacked KANON with it while the rest of DAMNATION T.A… joined in on the attack! After the beatdown Daisuke Sasaki introduced Okatani as DAMANTION T.A’s newest crazy member and then announced KANON has been kicked out of the group! According to Sasaki, KANON has become too smug and no good for the unit so it is time to say goodbye. Okatani then called KANON a brown-nosing wrestler for always pandering to the crowd before hitting him again with the bamboo stick until it broke.

Okatani explained even more backstage, revealing that KANON has actually been cut off from the unit a long time ago. Sasaki called KANON the biggest failure he has ever created but now he has created his new masterpiece in Okatani. He then claimed that Okatani will have his return match in April. He tore his ACL last April so a year will have passed when he wrestles again. KANON was in tears backstage because he doesn’t know what he did to deserve this. He demanded a singles match with Sasaki to settle things and DDT ended up booking it for 20th March. Lost in the middle of this is what will happen with the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles? DAMNATION T.A are the current title holders and KANON was part of the champion team.

Hisaya Imabayashi’s worst nightmare came back to life for one night only. There was supposed to be a full blown Pheromones reunion but it got hampered when Yuki Iino got injured. Super Sasadango Machine filled in for him and Yumehito Imanari appeared as his normal self. But Danshoku Dieno & Koju Takeda both showed up acting like their Pheromones personas. The match eventually became too lewd for any audience and Imabayashi had to call it off by using a towel to cover anything that should not be seen on a live broadcast. He paid the price and Pheromones rendered him unconscious with their salacious attacks.

While this was all happening, Sasadango made his way up to the commentary table and grabbed everyone’s attention with his latest PowerPoint presentation. It was titled “Characteristics And Practical Methods Of People Who Are Good At Schedule Management.” He explained how posters can be used to promote his matches and pointed out he does not have a match yet for the 28th Anniversary show despite being on the poster. So he is challenging Dieno to a DDT Extreme Title match for 20th March! It will be a special day for DDT and Dieno is a special wrestler for the company. Also the Extreme Title is the only proper DDT championship Sasadango has ever held. He even added an extra condition to make the match even more special. It will be the last time Sasadango will challenge for that title! Dieno refused the challenge but only so he can nominate Sasadango as his next challenger. He also told Imabayashi he wants his alter ego Amon Tsurumi to be part of the match as the special referee! Together these three old men promise to put on the worst match ever!

Kazuki Hirata had a lot of down time while he was recovering from his knee injury so he occupied himself by watching a lot of wrestling. By doing so he made the eye opening discovery that nobody else dances during their matches. So for his return match he wanted to take things seriously and wrestle properly. Too bad his opponent Antonio Honda wanted to see him dance instead and kept tempting him to put the Hirata GO glasses back on. Hirata couldn’t take it but just when he was about to put on the glasses, Honda attacked him. Hirata fought back though and pinned Honda with the Miracle One Shot Cradle before getting to dance as his true self again.

Hirata then had an announcement to make about his 15th Anniversary Match on 12th March. He and Keisuke Ishii are going to team up with someone special to take on YO-HEY, Kenshin Chikano & Soma Takao. The third man on his team is Hiromu Takahashi! He said he is putting everything he has into the production of this show so everyone will have a happy time together.

The show began with a song performance by NωA Jr. (no doubt trying to impress Kaisei Takechi over at the commentary booth. When they were done Yuni & Kazuma Sumi then faced Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida in the opening bout. Owashi did a little bit of lucha before switching over to sumo which fitted in more with Ishida’s Dosukoi spirit. Sumi tried to win with a Lionsault and the School Boy but Ishida threw him over with a Scooping German Suplex and pinned him with the Flame Palm.

7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – Final: Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku

A press conference was held by DDT today to promote the D GENERATIONS CUP final. It was there when Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku were told that the final is going to main event Korakuen Hall! The surprise completely threw Masada off guard because up until now he had everything calculated and going to plan. The final being moved to the main event wasn’t part of those calculations. He tried to play it cool and still thinks he will win and move on to challenge Chris Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Title. Koroku does not care who the KO-D Champion will be if he wins the final and gets the title shot instead.

Super Sasadango Machine takes Iino’s place in the Pheromones reunion match. That means the 3 Way Match he was originally booked for is now just Kazuki Hirata against Antonio Honda.

The guests for this show are Kuishinbo Kamen, Keisuke Ishii, Ayumu Honda and Akira Jo.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~ZUNDAMOCHI~” Results

February 9, 2025

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~ZUNDAMOCHI~”, 09/02/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura defeated Soma Takao & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Nakamura pinned Matsunaga with the Modified Crucifix Pin (9:03).
2. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – B Block: Yuni (1) Vs Kazuma Sumi (3) ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – 3 Way 6-Man Tag Team Match: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) defeated Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda and Danshoku Dieno, Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi when Sasaki pinned Honda after the Freedom Call (11:05).
*V6 for DAMNATION T.A.
4. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – A Block: Takeshi Masada (6) defeated Ilusion (2) with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (9:52).
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – B Block: Yuya Koroku (4) defeated To-y (4) with the Chickenwing Arm Lock (12:16).
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya when MAO pinned Naya with the Iai Kick (20:29).

A Block

1. Takeshi Masada (6)
2. Ilusion (2)
-. Keigo Nakamura (2)
-. Yuki Ishida (2)

B Block

1. Yuya Koroku (4)
-. To-y (4)
3. Kazuma Sumi (3)
4. Yuni (1)

MAO successfully protected his home region against the heavyweights thanks to some help from Yuki Ueno. He was in a lot of trouble when Yukio Naya hit him with three Knee Lifts in a row. Luckily for him, Ueno reached out from the apron and grabbed his hand to block Naya from pulling off The World’s Best Back Drop. MAO then hit Naya with a few Whirlwind Kicks before finishing him off with the Iai Kick. He said if the result went the other way then Miyagi would have gotten a new “Burning” ambassador in the form of Yuki Iino instead. MAO thanked the fans for supporting DDT, noting that the amount of tickets sold on the day made DDT add another two rows of seating before the show began. He announced DDT’s next show in Miyagi will take place on 4th May. He would like to go back to his hometown of Osaki City but is waiting to find an opponent even better than Minoru Suzuki to make it an even bigger show.

The block stages have come to an end and we now know the two men heading to the D GENERATIONS CUP final. Last year’s winner To-y has fallen at the last moment, losing to Yuya Koroku. Both wrestlers hit dives on each other and Koroku countered the Kojima Impact into the Chickenwing Arm Lock to make To-y tap out. That means Koroku advances to the final thanks to the head to head rule! This is the second time such a scenario has prevented To-y from reaching the final so he has grown to hate the rule. Koroku said he has lost many kinds of matches to To-y over the last couple of months but today he got his revenge by advancing to the finals at To-y’s expense.

Meeting Koroku in the final on 23rd February is Takeshi Masada who defeated his hated enemy Ilusion. That match featured a ref bump and a lot of cheating from Ilusion but Masada overcame the threat to win. Ilusion is trying to throw dirt on Masada’s win by blaming the the referee. He only lost because of the ref and the entire DDT organisation doesn’t want him to reach the final! Masada said everything is still going just as he calculated, even when the unexpected get in the way. When wants to win the Cup and then go challenge Chris Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Title.

The third DGC match on the show had a slim chance of influencing Block B. If Kazuma Sumi won this match and Ilusion had beaten Masada then there would have been a 3 Way tie that had to be decided with a sudden death 3 Way Match. Instead Sumi fought Yuni to a 15 minute draw, ending whatever chance Sumi had left of reaching the final. Both wrestlers were exhausted by the end of the match and Shunma Katsumata had to check on his fellow NωA Jr. members afterward.

Due to illnesses to both Akito and Yuki Ishida, Match #4 ended up becoming a 3 Way Trios match between DAMNATION T.A, SCHADENFREUDE International and a briefly reunited D.O.A. However hours before the show began, Danshoku Dieno sat himself down in front of the only restroom available for the wrestlers backstage out of protest. He wasn’t going to get back up until the match had the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on the line. Both Makoto Oishi and Kazuma Sumi ended up joining the protest (Sumi was just because he badly needed to use the restroom) so DDT eventually caved into the demand. DAMNATION T.A ended up winning the 3 Way Match and now have the record for most 6-Man Tag Title defences in a single reign.

The race towards the D GENERATIONS CUP final his getting tighter as more wrestlers gets eliminated from contention. But not everything is set in stone yet. Takeshi Masada defeated Keigo Nakamura to take the lead in Block A and knock Nakamura out of the running. Elsewhere in the group Yuki Ishida avoided losing all of his matches by beating Ilusion in his final bout. Ilusion knocked out the ref before the match began so he could attack Ishida with chairs. Ishida fought back with Sumo Chops and revived the ref so the match could begin. He then used a Sumo Slap to smash a chair right back into Ilusion’s face before pinning him with the Flame Palm. Block A will now come down to Masada against Ilusion tomorrow. Over in Block B Yuya Koroku kept himself alive by beating Yuni. His match with To-y tomorrow will determine who will go through to the final.

At the end of last month Chris Brookes said he had a list of ten wrestlers who were being considered for the next KO-D Openweight Title shot happening on 20th March. Today he gave an update, telling fans the list has been cut down to five. However he wouldn’t say who is in the list or who was cut off.

Akito was pulled off the show due to illness. Tomomitsu Matsunaga replaced him for Match #4.

7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda when Ueno pinned Honda with the WR (18:04).

A Block

1. Takeshi Masada (2)
-. Ilusion (2)

1. To-y (4)
2. Kazuma Sumi (2)

-. Yuya Koroku (0)

Yuki Ueno is getting what he wants but is he ready for it? After getting the winning pinfall in the main event, Ueno spoke highly of his opponents as well as his own partners. MAO told everyone the DDT Universal Title is his ex-girlfriend but seeing Yuki Ueno treat it so well makes him happy enough to cry. The good times ended all of a sudden when Minoru Suzuki made his way down to the ring! He got the message that Ueno wants to defend the Universal Title against him. Suzuki plays rough and likes to hurt people so is Ueno really up for it? He accepts the challenge for 20th March! Ueno then told Suzuki he thought he would be scared of him but it turns out he is wrong. His heart is beating fast not out of fear but from excitement! As Suzuki walked out of the room he grabbed a chair and thrusted it at Yukinori Matsui. Ueno joked that Matsui is a noble sacrifice to drag Suzuki back into DDT so he hopes the fans will look forward to the match.

DAMNATION T.A have now tied the record for the most KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title defences in a single reign. With today’s victory they now have five successful defences, matching Team Drift’s title reign from 2015 and Eruption’s reign from 2023. It’s an achievement tained by how the team got here though. Their opponents came close to winning with HARASHIMA & Jun Akiyama both clearing the way for Tomomitsu Matsunaga to grab the glory. Had they won the titles they would have officially named their team Chuu Nen Tai (Middle-Aged Group). But Daisuke Sasaki though hit Matsunaga in the back with a chair while MJ Paul distracted the ref. KANON then picked up the pieces and won with the Cobra Twist 2.0. Sasaki told everyone that they couldn’t lose to an impromptu team and there is no other trio out there who can surpass DAMNATION T.A. They will defend the belts 10,000 more times right until somebody dies! Sasaki believes there will not be any more challengers anyway. KANON said they will hold onto the belts until fans get tired of them and no longer want to see the championship.

The D GENERATIONS CUP continued with two more matches today, one from each block. To-y looks well on the way to reach the final again when he beat Kazuma Sumi to move into first place in the B Block. He told Sumi after the match he had fun wrestling him and they can become best friends from now on. To-y is saving most of his excitement for after he wins the tournament because he badly wants to fight Chris Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Title. Sumi is still in the running but he needs to win his last group match to have a chance of reaching the final.

Keigo Nakamura had Shinya Aoki in his corner for his match against Yuki Ishida. He had to dodge the Flame Palm then trap Ishida in the Modified Crucifix Pin to win his first two points in the tournament. Later at the end of the show Ueno asked Aoki why does he have high expectations for Nakamura in the tournament? Aoki told him it’s because nobody else is expecting it and that’s irresponsible!

Normally Danshoku Dieno would gladly put a person like Soma Takao in the Lip Lock but not today! Before their match began Takao revealed the last time Dieno gave him the Lip Lock it cured him of his hangover. He spent last night drinking and is still feeling the effects of it so he wants nothing more now than for Dieno to give him the Lip Lock again! Dieno refused and resisted doing the move for the entire match. Takao then tried to do the Lip Lock himself but missed and caught Yukinori Matsui with it. Dieno was able to put Takao in the Gaydo Clutch with Matsui fast counted the three count to get some payback.

The rest of the D GENERATIONS CUP field took part in a non-tournament tag match. Ilusion had to team with Yuni even though he didn’t want to. He eventually went along with it when it was convenient for him, mainly when it meant double teaming on Takeshi Masada. He also tried to convince Yuni to use a chair but Yuni Super Kicked him instead. That may have cost him because he had to fight Masada & Yuya Koroku by himself from that point on. Masada was able to beat him but Ilusion got away scot free.
