Well.
Thanks to YouTube, I have had to totally redo this entire post.
It seems they deleted every single video that I had put here.
Thanks YouTube!
Anyway, I went back into YouTube (which I am sure I will regret doing later) and got the top five most popular Japanese Female Wrestling videos there.
Watch them while you can before YouTube takes them down again....
Pro Wrestling WAVE #121
Kana vs Melanie Cruise.
Yumi Ohka vs Hikaru Shida
Kana vs Mio Shirai
Manami Toyota and Blizzard Yuki vs Takako Inoue and Kyoko Inoue
Here is Manami Toyota taking on Kyoko Inoue from March 31st, 1996.
You know...I know both Manami and Kyoko are highly skilled athletes, but when I saw Manami going to the ring at the beginning of the video, the only thing I could thing was "My God...her hair is beautiful!"
Anyway, both of these women are Joshi legends.
Manami made her pro wrestling debut in 1987...
and Kyoko debuted the next year in 1988.
This match is a sequel to Manami and Kyoko's match in 1995, which won the Wrestling Observer Match of the Year.
And this match takes off like a rocket with a missed dropkick, a giant swing and a kiwi roll all in rapid succession.
Coming up from that, they go into the classic test of strength...
Which leads into Kyoko unleashing an array of submission moves on Manami...
On May 31, 2009 at IBUKI 29 "4th Anniversary" at Korakuen Hall......
In the JWP Junior/POP #1 Contenders' Match, Misaki Ohata defeated DASH Chisako in 13:57 with a Reverse Cradle.
AKINO and Akiko Narikuni beat GAMI and Chihiro Oikawa in 13:52, when AKINO used a Reverse Cross Armbreaker on Oikawa.
Kazumi Shimouma defeated Raika in 9:44 with a Figure-Four Leglock.
In a six woman tag team match, Shu Shibutani, Fuuka, and Esui defeated Sendai Sachiko, Ryo Mizunami, and Yukari Ishino in 15:29, when Esui used a Running Knee on Ishino.
Meiko Satomura and Nanae Takahashi defeated Ray and Natsuki*Taiyo in 20:12, when Satomura used a Death Valley Bomb (Death Valley driver) on Ray.
And in the final match, Misaki Ohata defeated Hiroyo Matsumoto in 18:53 with a Kido Clutch (Fireman's Carry Cradle) . That makes Misaki the 17th JWP Junior and 7th P.O.P. Champion.
A while back I mentioned some really good Japanese professional women wrestling matches on YouTube, well here is one from Veoh posted by shupercousin. It's a match between Mima Shimoda and Akira Hokuto from August 30th, 1995. Mima Shimoda, Etsuko Mita and Akira had once formed a group called "Las Cachorras Orientoles" or LCO in AJW, but this looks like it too place after all that was over.
On September 18, 1993 in Omiya, Saitama, Mima Shimoda defeated Bat Yoshinaga to win the belt. Less than a year later, Mima gave up the title to concentrate on her tag team matches with Estuko Mita. Kaoru Ito defeated Rie Tamada on May 4, 1994 in Toda, Saitama to become the new AJW Champion. Then on June 30, 1995, Tomoko Watanabe won the belt, vacating it in early 1996. Kumiko Maekawa defeated Chaparita ASARI on May 4, 1996 to take the title, then Rie Tamada beat her for the belt on November 21, 1996 and held it for a little over a year before she too vacated it in December 1997. On December 12, 1997 Momoe Nakanishi defeated Sachie Nishibori to become the new champion. Emi Motokawa won the belt on January 24, 1998 and in turn, Momoe Nakanishi took the title back on April 12, 1998. Due to the title defense limit, Momoe vacated the belt in 1999. Nanae Takahashi defeated Miyuki Fujii on March 1, 2000, in Fukuoka, Fukuoka to become the new champion. And Miho Wakizawa defeated Nanae Takahashi to become champion on September 17, 2000 in Tokyo.
Asuka Ohki (Kaori Ohki) is a Japanese female wrestler born on October 31st, 1985 in Saitama, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Yes, a Halloween baby.

This deceptively cute and delicate looking lady is Japanese female pro wrestler Cherry.
She might look fragile, but inside the ring she can give as good as she takes.
Cherry has wrestled for the NEO and IBUKI promotions in Japan.
Here is a video of Cherry wrestling Rei at the Pro Wrestling NEO produced 4th Junior All Stars, "The Dream & Future" show on December 31, 2006 in Tokyo Korakuen Hall.
It's a really good match. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcbdyhIoTcA
Yuka Shiina was a Japanese female wrestler. I say was because she retired back in 2006. Yuka wrestled for the NEO promotion for over ten years. She also wrestled for AJW and IBUKI.
BEIJING, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- At the Beijing Olympics over the weekend,Japanese "Fantastic Four" wrestlers got same result as they did in Athens, with Kaori Icho winning women's freestyle 63kg title and Kyoko Hamaguchi ending with a bronze in the 72kg category on Sunday, and Adding Saori Yoshida's 55kg gold and Chiharu Icho's silver in 48kg on Saturday.

Professional Debut, August 5, 1987, vs. Sachiko Nakamura
Real name , Toyota Manami
Manami Toyota is a japanese professional wrestler best known for her work with the All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (AJW) wrestling promotion. Following AJW's closure she has continued to work in other joshi promotions such as GAEA and NEO. Toyota is a member of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame.
Manami Toyota made her professional wrestling debut on August 5, 1987, in a singles match against Sachiko Nakamura. Her big break came in her second year, on the first Wrestlemarinpiad show from Yokohama Arena, on May 6, 1989. Teamed with Mima Shimoda, she defeated Etsuko Mita and Toshiyo Yamada in a lightning-paced match that nearly stole the card from the more established veterans. The bout had all the basic ingredients that made Toyota a star, including flashy moves, fast and frequent tags, double-team moves, and a long series of dramatic near falls. When the bout was released as part of a four-hour commercial tape, Toyota became recognized as a wrestler to watch.
Toyota won her first title on November 18, 1989 in Matsuda, when she defeated Mika Takahashi for the AJW Championship. She defended the title three times, including one defense against her future rival Kyoko Inoue (on August 1, 1990), before vacating it on September 1, 1990. The following month (October 7 in Tokyo) she challenged Bison Kimura for the All Pacific Championship and emerged victorious. However she only managed to defend the title once before losing to Suzuka Minami on March 17, 1991.
Parallel to this success ran Toyota’s famous feud with future tag-team partner Toshiyo Yamada. Initially, following Toyota’s success teaming up with Shimoda, the AJW braintrust felt they could well be the new Beauty Pair or Crush Gals, but that was not to be. Toyota's real chemistry came not with Shimoda but with Yamada, whose style was unlike Toyota's and provided more of a contrast. Yamada was a slightly built, short-haired, kicking specialist, who idolized both Chigusa Nagayo and Akira Maeda. Unlike other wrestlers who rely on kicks and submissions, Yamada could also work the rapid-paced matches, and was accomplished at building to near-falls with repeated kick-outs at the last possible moment.
To begin with, however, Toyota and Yamada were opponents rather than partners. Between 1989 and 1991 they wrestled many times, producing bouts that rivaled the quality of the main events that AJW's champions were presenting. At the start of 1992, the two won their first tag team championship when they defeated KAORU and Lady Apache in Tokyo on January 19 for the UWA titles.
