As it turns out, Mina Shirakawa is also a massive fan of Jushin Liger as well.

While speaking to Fightful's Grapsody podcast for a new interview, Shirakawa noted that Liger is a god to her.

"Jushin ‘Thunder’ Liger is a God to me. A real God. He’s a masked man and very mysterious. He is known by wrestling fans all over the world. Every fan knows him. He’s small but muscular, and can do high-flying moves and technique. He wears a mask, but we can feel his emotion through the mask. Joy, anger, pleasure, we can feel him. It’s an important skill. He is a God to me."

Elsewhere in the interview, Shirakawa reflected on competing in NJPW. Learn more about those comments here.
