Chigusa Nagayo is a female Professional Wrestler best known for her popularity in the 1980s for her tag team The Crush Gals with partner Lioness Asuka. She was the founder of the GAEA Women's Professional Wrestling organization (known simply as GAEA) She briefly competed as alter-ego Lady Zero in GAEA.
" TOKYO — In the ring, Chigusa Nagayo is a real fireball, hurtling through the air, kicking her opponents and subduing them in scorpion deathlocks. But today, the 38-year-old Nagayo, who stands 166 cm tall and weighs 83 kg, is taking a break from the action.
Self-confident and polite, she is always the consummate professional. For those who have watched America's Playboy-like entertainment pro wrestling shows, it may be hard to imagine that Japanese female pro wrestling is just as skillful as male pro wrestling. But one look at Nagayo in action leaves no doubt.
The No. 1 drawcard and founder of GAEA, Japan's female pro wrestling federation, the charismatic Nagayo holds a sort of spiritual power over her growing legions of fanatic female fans in Japan. As soon as she gets into the ring, they let out a roar and then go into raptures when she lunges through the air at her opponents, overwhelming them with her wild fighting techniques with names such as superfreak, running three, sleeper hold and of course the scorpion deathlock.
Her road to fame and fortune had an unusual beginning. Born in Omura, Nagasaki Prefecture, Nagayo said her childhood dream was to become a doctor because she used to go to the doctor every day for a checkup as she suffered from tuberculosis and asthma. Unbelievably, it was the karate lessons her mother forced her to take that dramatically improved her health within a year."
