Yuzuki Aikawa - Japanese Female Wrestling

Yuzuki Aikawa - japanese wrestlers - women pro wrestling

In the last entry I mentioned Yuzuki Aikawa as a member of the Stardom roster.
Yuzuki was born on May 16th, 1983 in Niihama, Ehime, Japan.
Before wrestling, she was a popular Japanese Idol and also started a singing group called P-ch!.
And she has eight years training in Taekwondo as well as some training in shoot boxing (which involves kicking, punching, kneeing, throwing, and standing submissions).
She began her wrestling training in May of 2010 and made her debut on October 31st at the Shin-Kiba 1st Ring (although she gave a demonstration earlier in October at NOSAWA BOMBAYE 6).
At that event she took on and lost to Nanae Takahashi.
Even though she lost, some observers said that she aquitted herself quite well.
Mainly because she took a serious beating from Nanae and hung in there.

Then on February 6th, 2011 she defeated Yumiko Hotta which didn't hurt her reputation at all.
Her finishing move is the Yuzupon Kick (axe kick).

Nanae Takahashi


Nanae Takahashi is a Japanese female pro wrestler. She has wrestled for All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling and Pro Wrestling SUN, and has held multiple world championships. She is the current AWA World Women's Champion.

Nanae Takahashi graduated from All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling's (AJW) training class of 1996, and rose to prominence at a time when AJW was beginning its decline. Early on, she achieved the most fame as part of the tag team Nanamomo with classmate Momoe Nakanishi. Together, Nanamomo won four tag team championships, the AJW Tag Team Championship twice (on November 23, 1997 and August 23, 1998) and the WWWA World Tag Team Championship twice (on July 16, 2000 and July 6, 2002). Concurrently, Takahashi was making a name for herself as a singles competitor, winning the AJW Championship on March 1, 2000, and the junior division competition at that year's Japan Grand Prix. Having established herself as a major competitor, Takahashi won the 2002 Japan Grand Prix, and won her first WWWA World Heavyweight Championship on December 12, 2004. During AJW's final years she won the WWWA World Tag Team Championship three more times (each time with a different partner), and the WWWA World Heavyweight Championship once more. She was the last WWWA champion, handing over the belt to promoter Takashi Matsunaga immediately after winning it on March 26, 2006.

At an independent show held on July 14, 2006 to celebrate her tenth anniversary in professional wrestling, Takahashi announced her intention to start her own promotion. Her stable, the Dream Catchers, held their final show on the following September 3.

On October 1, 2006, Takahashi defeated Africa 55 for the resurrected AWA World Women's Championship at the debut of her new promotion, Pro Wrestling SUN. The promotion is a sister promotion to Pro Wrestling ZERO1-MAX, an affiliate of the revived American Wrestling Association. On January 14, 2007, Takahashi lost her world championship to Amazing Kong, but regained it again on May 13 of the same year, in Los Angeles, California.
