The Dragon Gate promotion in Japan issued a statement announcing that Takuma Fujiwara and Kento Kobune (aka SB KENTo) have been released from their contracts.

The statement notes that there was a violation of their contracts that led to the release, and that while efforts were made to find a mutually satisfactory path towards a resolution, those attempts were unsuccessful and with the consent of Fujiwara and Kobune, their deals with Dragon Gate were terminated.
