Here are a couple of pictures of retired Japanese female wrestler Yuzuki Aikawa.
This model turned wrestler was pretty much considered a joke when she started, but she proved the fans wrong.
During her career in World Wonder Ring Stardom she held the Goddesses of Stardom Championship (with Yoko Bito), the Wonder of Stardom Championship and she won several Best Match of the Year awards, MVP awards and Outstanding Performance awards.
She retired on April 29th and her last match was against Yoshiko, which she lost.
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).
