One month ago Mahiro Kiryu gave herself the challenge of defending the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title in a game of Mahjong against experienced players. However due to the short notice of the idea, the competition hardly showed up. So yesterday she tried out the idea again and had three opponents ready this time. The three opponents were planned to be Ken Ohka, Danshoku Dieno and Thanomsak Toba. All of them have experience in playing the game. However Toba didn’t show up because he woke up at 3am in the morning to work on his video editing gig, forgot about the game taking place and went to lunch instead. Suddenly Shinji Torigoe appeared. He is a professional mahjong player, the person who taught Kiryu how to play the game and one of the opponents who lost to her the last time. He wanted a second chance at winning the title and was accepted to replace Toba.

Through writing up the reports of this storyline, I have learned from those who are into the hobby that winning two games of mahjong in a row is a difficult thing to achieve. While she aimed to take the lead early, she found out that Ohka and Dieno are no slouches when it comes to playing the game. Kiryu then received a bad hand while Torigoe gradually increased his score until he took the lead and wouldn’t relinquish it. When it was all over, Torigoe was the winner and became the new Iron Man Champion! He then made a joke about how white Ohka’s tank top is which caused Ohka to lose in temper. In a rage, Ohka took off his vest and choked Torigoe unconscious before leaving the room in a fit! The ref Daisuke Kiso then noticed the vest was “pinning” Torigoe’s limp shoulders to the chair and counted to three, ruling that Ken Ohka’s White Tank Top was the new champion!

Kiryu acted quickly and grabbed the vest. With a mighty lift she Body Slammed it onto the floor and went for the cover to become the Iron Man Champion once more. She took a big risk today and almost paid the price. However she is having fun defending the title in games of mahjong and would like to continue doing it. She also noted how strong of a player Ohka is.

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Mahjong Match: Mahiro Kiryu (c) (62,600 pts) defeated Shinji Torigoe (38,600 pts), CyberFight Staff (-9,500 pts) and Daisuke Kiso (8,300 pts) (86:32).
*V? for Mahiro Kiryu.

When Mahiro Kiryu accomplished her goal last weekend of returning to her hometown as the Iron Man Heavymwetalweight Champion, she quickly set forth with putting her next goal in motion. It has always been her dream to defend the Iron Man Title in a game of Mahjong so she quickly organized a competition held at the Mahjong Bell Bird club in Shinbashi, Tokyo. However due to the event taking place on really short notice, only one other competitor turned up. The challenger was Shinji Torigoe, a professional mahjong player belonging to Bell Bird and also the person who taught Kiryu how to play the game. Kiryu has 17 years of experience though so it was time for the student to surpass her master.

Two other players were needed to get the game going so the referee Daisuke Kiso alongside an unnamed CyberFight staff member also took part. Those two were pretty much only there to observe the tactical battle that took place between Kiryu and Torigoe. After 86 gruelling minutes, Kiryu pulled off big moves to get ahead and ended up nearly doubling Torigoe’s score to win the game and successfully defend the title. Torigoe praised Kiryu for the victory but pointed out she missed an opportunity to play a Suuankou hand and could have won earlier if she had done that. Kiryu apologised to him and decided it was time to leave.
