Dear Manami Toyota, My name is Keith and I am the webmaster of this site. I created this webpage as a dedication to the hardwork and skills you have displayed over your career. I have no way of contacting you other than this website. You see, I am a poor kid whose parents are laid off and have little money. Originally, I was planning to teach in Japan in Tokyo but no one wanted to hire me. Then I was planning to save up some money to take a trip when I discovered that one of the teaching programs wasn't going to hire me. However, my grandfather died and that probably affected my emotional state at the time. In turn, work no longer came in for me at that critical stage and I was more or less laid off. I don't care who you wrestle against, but I just want to see yuo wrestle once live. I hope to see you on a small show because you will hear your loudest fan cheer you on. First, I was hoping that a fan in Japan would be kind enough to take this letter and give it to you. I don't know if you know English or not, but if you do or if you can find someone to translate this letter, I was hoping to express my true feelings for you. Second, I've had this really bad feeling within the last year or so that you will retire soon, before I have a chance to see you wrestle. Already, I have lost the chances to see Hikari Fukuoka, Megumi Kudo, Cuty Suzuki, and a few others wrestle in Japan. It will be a great loss to the wrestling world the day you retire. But it will be a tragic loss in my heart if I never get to see you once in person. I would like the opportunity of meeting you one day at an event or anywhere else. I hope to be able to sit down with you and talk about things. I see you as a powerful, strong willed woman with lots of heart and a high sense of value. There aren't enough people in the world with that kind of character these days. Because of your values, I idolize you and look up to you. You provide me with inspiration to work harder and to try my best even when I feel like quitting. If I do get hired, I hope to travel to Japan this fall to see just one AJW show. Afterwards, I would like to take you to dinner or something special. I hope to talk with you just to see what you think of and to find out more about you. I hope you would have the time and desire to do such a thing because most likely you are very busy. I don't know how to distinguish myself from others as you probably have many fans. But I would hope to somehow make an impression on you that will allow me to have a place in your heart, even if it's a small one. I've always been saving a special spot for you because you're everything that I dream of in a person. Because of these powerful feelings, I've been striving to do something special for you. If I should ever finish it and publish it, I will dedicate it to you because you are the one that had inspired me daily in writing it and in keeping me going. I hope one day that you will come to America, especially California and LA. If you do I hope that you will visit me or that I can meet you by chance one day. My house is always open for you to stay and I would always be willing to give you a tour or do anything that you'd want. One of my dreams is that I meet you at my old college campus and give you a tour of LA so that we could go to the fun places like the clubs, amusement parks, and shopping malls. Anyway, I hope you take care of yourself and that I will be able to see you this year. Thank you for keeping me entertained and helping me get through my difficult moments in life.
