A number of personalities who work in the world of professional wrestling have taken to social media in the wake of STARDOM star Hana Kimura taking her own life:
Please, be kind to each other, from those who love you with every inch of their heart, to those you don't know.

Cyber bullying is very real, and people’s words have a deeper impact than they’ll ever know. I should know, I’ve lived it for over a decade. But tonight’s news about Hana Kimura breaks my heart for everyone. Choosing a life of a performer does not mean they’ve signed up for hate.

This pack of wolves mentality some fans have needs to stop. Same ones preaching about fairness will tear you apart if they see your friends doing the same #RIPHanaKimura

I only met Hana a few times but her kindness shone through instantly and she was set to be one of the greatest wrestlers of a generation but more importantly she was 22 years young with her whole life ahead of her. I can’t imagine how her family & friends feel right now. RIP.

In 2016 I was on Vacation in japan and @azucarRoc put me in contact with Kyoko Kimura to go train while there. She had me meet her at the train station outside of Tokyo to go to the Ice ribbon dojo to train, that’s when i met Kyoko and her An aspiring pro wrestling daughter Hana pic.twitter.com/Lm5Ah8Dwji

From the moment i met them they treated me like i was family and not like a Unknown Gajin stranger. Hana was kind, friendly,and you could tell how close she was with her mother. After a couple training session i said good by to Hana not knowing if our paths would ever crossagain

Flash forward to 2019 I’m standing on the floor of Madison square Garden starting at the empty arena taking it all in when i hear a voice scream “BRODY!” I look to my left and a beautiful pink haired Japanese girl ran up and hugged me. Once i was able to see her face i realized

It Was Hana. That moment was so surreal to me. Two people from different parts of the world hoping to “make it” are now standing together in the world most famous arena living our dreams. You were too good for this world Hana. This one https://t.co/HnYW2iHdin

I just want people to take the same energy that they would want for themselves or their loved ones to have and give it to other people’s loved ones. The amount of depravity on social media is just absolutely insane and unnecessary. It has got to stop. ???? #RIPHanaKimura

Legit, my first day at stardom, she was the most welcoming cause she had the best English out of the entire locker room, she loved taking to the gaijin's to improve her English. I looked forward to seeing her every show. I'm truly heartbroken right now #RIPHana pic.twitter.com/J0zFfNDR2X

"famous" people are people too, everyone has feelings and they can all be hurt. People can have thick skin, but it's only so thick before it penetrates. Be careful with your words, you have no idea how much words can hurt

I couldn’t imagine dealing with hate on social media at 22. I can barely handle it now. Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves. ????#HanaKimura #RIPHanaKimura

Ppl just really don’t understand the affect their words/jokes/energy/attacks have on others. Just because it can be distant or faceless doesn’t mean it is innocent or harmless.
