Here are Japanese female wrestlers Hana Kimura and Kagetsu.
I think Hana has become my new Kana (Now WWE Diva Asuka).
If I get bored, I just post a picture of Hana.
Anyway, Hana and Kagetsu are part of the Oedo Tai wrestling stable that I have mentioned before.

Japanese female wrestler Yoko Bito started her career on January 23rd, 2011.
She was born in Kawaguchi, Saitama, Japan and is five foot seven and weighs 136 pounds.
Yoko works for World Wonder Ring Stardom amd was trained by Fuka.
On November 3rd, 2012 Yoko retired from wrestling due to neck and back injuries.
However, in 2016 she announced that she was returning to Stardom.
This beautiful young lady is Japanese female wrestler Saki Akai.
Saki works for Dramatic Dream Team aka DDT Pro-Wrestling in Japan and has been wrestling since August 2013.
At five foot eight, 116 pounds she is hardly a "monster", but this woman that has been compared to Chinese supermodel Lin Chi-ling takes bumps in the ring like all the Japanese wrestlers do.
I can't imagine someone like WWE Diva Eva Marie taking the beatings that she does.

This one kind of caught me by surprise.
The most popular Japanese female wrestler on this blog in 2015 was Mio Shirai.
I dont know if it was because of her closeness with everyone's favorite Kana, or with Kana going to the WWE, Mio just moved up.
Either way, Mio was on top here in 2015.

Japanese female wrestler "Pirate Princess" Kairi Hojo was born on September 23rd, 1988 in Hikari-shi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan.
She is five foot one and weighs in at 115 pounds.
Kairi made her pro wrestling debut on January 7th, 2012 at Shinkiba 1stRING in a match against Yuzuki Aikawa.
She not only trained in Japan, but also visited Mexico and trained with luchador Dos Caras.
Kairi has teamed with Natsumi Showzuki, Kaori Yoneyama, Hatsuhindoe Kamen, Nanae Takahashi, Chelsea and Koguma.
I havent done anything on the lovely Arisa Nakajima in a while, so here's an update.
Arisa was born on April 6th, 1989 in Chichibu, Saitama, Japan, the same city that famous Japanese pro wrestler Akira Taue is from.
After training with the Major Girl's Fighting AtoZ promotion for a little over a year, she made her wrestling debut on January 3rd, 2006, against Mika Mizunuma in Korakuen Hall.
She has worked for Major Girl's Fighting AtoZ, JWP Joshi Puroresu (JWP Project) and JDStar and during her career has held more titles and won more awards than you can shake a stick at.
Arisa is five foot three and weighs in at 130 pounds.
I know that when I can't think of anything else to talk about, I usually go to Kana, but today I thought I'd mention one of my other favorite Joshi wrestlers, Mio Shirai.
It's almost like mentioning Kana.
Yeah I know I just posted about Mio and her sister Io when they were the Sexy Purple Thunder Sisters a while back, but Mio has been doing quite a bit in Japan solo.
Mio and Kana defeated Misaki Ohata and Tsukasa Fujimoto on April 21st, 2013 and won the Wave Tag Team Championship, which is the first title Triple Tails.S has had.
Oh yeah, Triple Tails.S is the Mio/Kana tag-team that used to be just called Triple Tails when Io was a member.
Occasionally Mio and Kana have to face each other like they did here at the Regina di Wave Championship tournament.
Io Shirai and Mio Shirai are two Japanese female wrestlers that were at one time part of the stable Team Makehen and were popularly known as "The Sexy Purple Thunder Sisters".
They debuted in 2007 and made a pretty good name for themselves in wrestling circles working for promotions like
Ibuki, Pro Wrestling Wave, Japanese Women Pro-Wrestling (JWP) Project, Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling and a whole host of others.
In 2010, along with Kana, they formed the very popular Triple Tails stable.
And also in 2010, Mio and Io went to Mexico to work for Asistencia AsesorÃa y Administración (AAA), where they wrestled as Kaguya and Oyuki
In 2011, Io left the group to work on her singles career.

Here are a couple of shots of one of my favorite female Japanese wrestlers of all time, Mima Shimoda.
Mima was born on December 23rd, 1970 in Tokyo, Japan and was trained by the legendary Akira Hokuto.
She made her pro wrestling debut back on August 5th, 1987 so she has been wrestling for almost 30 years!
Now she is mainly in Mexico wrestling for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), but she does manage to get to back to Japan now and then to work for the promotions there.
She's so popular here on this blog that when I can't think of anything else to do, I just mention Kana.
Love her or hate her she is one of the most popular Japanese female wrestlers out there today.
Here is a video posted by MrKebe83 of Kana taking on Tomoka Nakagawa in the SMASH Divas Championship match at SMASH 24-2011
Nanae Takahashi is one of the veteran Japanese women wrestlers still active today.
She was born on December 23rd, 1978 and made her wrestling debut on July 14th, 1996 in a match against Momoe Nakanishi, in Korakuen Hall, Tokyo.
So this July she will celebrate 16 years in the business.
During those 16 years she has held a ton of titles including belts in All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling, AWA Superstars of Wrestling, Ice Ribbon, JDStar, JWP, NEO Japan Ladies' Pro Wrestling, Pro Wrestling ZERO1-MAX and now Stardom.
Do you like Joshi?
Do you like tumblr?
Then you need to check out xDangerousQueensx (http://xdangerousqueenx.tumblr.com/).
TONS of great pictures and videos. not just Japanese women wrestlers but a lot of Indy wrestling as well.
I found this picture of Kana there, and that's just the tip of the iceberg....
Like I said in my last entry, Joshi may not be burning everything up in Japan these days, but we are reaping the benefit of that downturn here in the US.
Mainly because of Shimmer.
Here we have Ayako Hamada and Ayumi Kurihara, who held the Shimmer Tag Team Championship from October 1st, 2011 to March 18th 2012.
Interestingly, the tag team they defeated for the belt was Daizee Haze and another Joshi star, Tomoka Nakagawa.
Joshi may not be as hot as it once was in Japan, but there's one place it's still pretty hot here in the US....Shimmer.
Shimmer Women Athletes has been bringing some of the best female wrestlers in Japan over here for awhile now.
Tons of Japanese stars like Leon, Ray, Hiroyo Matsumoto, Tomoka Nakagawa, Ayako Hamada, Ayumi Kurihara and Kana have all worked for Shimmer.
And Hiroyo Matsumoto and Misaki Ohata (Seven Star Sisters), Tomoka Nakagawa, Ayako Hamada and Ayumi Kurihara have all held titles in the promotion.
Okay Seven Star Sisters only held theirs for a day but still.....
Sendai Girls' Kagetu (or Kagetsu) was born Yukari Ishino on June 24th, 1992 in Settsu, Osaka, Japan.
She made her pro wrestling debut against Chikayo Nagashima on August 24th, 2008.
Kagetsu wrestled under her real name until January 2010, when she switched to Kagetsu.
She has worked for Japanese wrestling promotions like JWP, WAVE, NEO and Sendai Girls.
Here is a wrestling match posted on YouTube by xkingx2009 with two of my favorite Japanese female wrestlers, Takako Inoue and Mima Shimoda.
Even though they are both awesome wrestlers, they do look a little bit like they just stepped off the set of the Power Rangers here.
Mutual dislike is not very well hidden, as they start off with a hair muss by Takako and a slap by Mima.
More slaps, chops and an Irish whip and the two lock up in the center of the ring in the classic test of strength.
That gets broken up and the two women launch into an exchange that shows just how well they are able to neutralize each others moves.
Is it considered a camel clutch if you are just sitting on your opponents back pulling her hair?
Well the ref makes Mima break the hold, but that's followed by more hair pulling, a hair-mare, and some rope choking.
I guess Takako gets tired of Mima's rule breaking, because when Mima tries to initiate another test of strength, Takako takes her hand...and promptly bites it!
But it doesn't take long for Mima to cheat her way back into control and take the match outside the ropes.
Mima even takes her out into the cheap seats and gives her a bodyslam on the concrete.
You have to love Mima though.
After leaving Takako on the floor, she goes back to the ring, climbs up on the turnbuckle and taunts her.
Takako climbs back into the ring, and Mima almost immediately leg tackles her and traps her in a Boston crab.
Not satisfied with JUST a Boston crab, she changes up to a single leg crab and pulls Takako's knee pad out of the way so she can get a better grip.

On Monday, December 6th, 2010, TNA Wrestling released Ayako Hamada.
Ayako (or Hamada as TNA was billing her) was one half of the current TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions along with Taylor Wilde.
Of course her release is not that much of a surprise.
TNA acted like they really had no idea what to do with Ayako (who has over twelve years experience in the ring).
In January 2010, she teamed with Awesome Kong and defeated Taylor Wilde and Sarita to win the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Titles.
Then Kong left the company and they were stripped of the belts.
Ayako only showed up now and then until she and Taylor Wilde beat The Beautiful People (Velvet Sky and Lacey Von Erich), winning the Knockout Tag Titles once again.
That match was Ayako's first time on television in four months.
I suppose this is another phenominal misuse of talent that we can lay at the feet of Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff.
Way to drive the Knockouts division into the ground guys.
Well Ayako has already worked for SHIMMER Women Athletes and Jersey All Pro Wrestling while she was working for TNA (God knows she had enough time), so we still may see her up here North of the border.
If not, I'm sure Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion (AAA) in Mexico would love to have her back.
And just for the heck of it, here are two greats, Ayako Hamada and Mima Shimoda going at it from back in 2000.
