Hana Kimura (木村花, Kimura Hana, September 3, 1997 – May 23, 2020) was a Japanese joshi puroresu professional wrestler. She worked for native companies in her country such as World Wonder Ring Stardom from 2016 to 2020, and Wrestle-1, in addition to having made appearances for foreign companies such as Ring of Honor, Pro-Wrestling: EVE, and some independent promotions in Mexico. Kimura was a second-generation wrestler; her mother Kyoko Kimura is a former professional wrestler.[6]
She was a cast member on the Fuji Television and Netflix reality television series Terrace House: Tokyo 2019–2020, which is the fifth installment of the Terrace House franchise. Following a series of troubling tweets addressing online bullying directed at her from Terrace House viewers, she was found dead in her apartment in Tokyo on May 23, 2020.[7] Her death had been ruled a suicide by December 2020.[8]
The death was actually at 4:00 am. She had inhaled hydrogen sulfide. So that was the cause of death and not too much else is going to be released because her mother did not want much more released.
The cause of death was not immediately clear. Shortly before she died, she issued a series of troubling social media posts implying she had been cyber-bullied. The most recent update on her Instagram story on Friday featured a photo of her with her cat, with a caption that read "goodbye".
