Her final Kamen Joshi one-man live will take place at Zepp Shinjuku in Tokyo on Nov. 19, 2026, according to her statement. A separate graduation ceremony will be announced at a later date.
Igari joined the entertainment world in 2014 and has continued performing as Kamen Joshi for more than a decade. She noted that even after beginning her working life in 2018, she was able to continue her activities with Kamen Joshi thanks to the support of fans.
“I am sincerely grateful,” Igari said in her message, thanking supporters for helping her continue as Tomoka Igari throughout the years.
