The Hana Kimura Memorial Show (木村花メモリアルマッチ『またね』, Kimura Hana Memoriaru Matchi "Matane") was a Japanese professional wrestling memorial show and pay-per-view and the first event promoted by Kyoko Kimura to commemorate the one year anniversary of the death of her daughter Hana Kimura, who committed suicide on May 23, 2020. The event took place on May 23, 2021 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan with a limited attendance due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] Kagetsu and Hazuki, who both retired in 2019, made one-off in-ring returns at the event, participating in both the semi-main and main event matches.[5]

The event was presented internationally as a live pay-per-view via the FITE TV service, with Ring of Honor's Ian Riccaboni, Sumie Sakai, and World Famous CB serving as the English commentary team during the broadcast.[6]
