Kid Yamamoto has died. Yamamoto had just announced late last month that he was battling cancer. Not only did the fighting spirit of Yamamoto will him to use every ounce of energy to fight the cancer,
お悔やみ申し上げます.
何ていったらいいか …
さようなら私の友人。
I am glad to have known you Nori. Until the next fight, OK?

KIDさん、ご冥福をお祈りいたします。
今朝一番で鹿児島に重要な案件で入り、自分の甘さや至らなさを痛感し今東京に戻ってきました。大き過ぎる挑戦で人生で一番追い込まれているけど生きてる。挑戦出来る。それがどれだけ有難いことか。この掛け替えのない時間を悩んで潰すわけにはいかない。進もう。— 菊野克紀 (@kikunokatsunori) September 18, 2018

Back in the mid 2000’s, I would spend all my free time on https://t.co/olpAPpemzq which happened to be the place I first caught wind of this fighter from Japan named Kid Yamamoto. I spent so much time… https://t.co/mE7R2kajo7

I used to sit on my lunch break & watch highlights of @KID_KRAZYBEE … once when @arielhelwani asked me what my dream fight would be, I answered Kid Yamamoto, because of the respect and admiration had for him. Here is to a true inspiration, Norifumi Yamamoto ??? #mma #hero https://t.co/EZq0es7Fb4
