Mina Shirakawa reveals a fun fact about Konosuke Takeshita.
Takeshita immediately established himself as fan favorite upon arriving to AEW in 2021. Since aligning with Don Callis in 2023, Takeshita has fell out of favor with some fans, with many arguing that he is too good of a wrestler to be using Callis as a crutch.
As it turns out, Takeshita is still very popular with the women's locker room in AEW.
"So, Takeshita-san is really popular with the women in AEW. Yeah, like, everyone is like, ‘Sexy!’. Even when he appears in the women’s locker room, they say, ‘Sexy!’ Yeah, he’s really popular. It’s not that I don’t think Takeshita-san is sexy or anything, but I’ve never thought of him that way. Ah yeah, he’s popular.” Mina Shirakawa told El Desperado while previewing the Wrestle Dynasty card back in December 2024.
