Mima Shimoda - Female Japanese Wrestlers

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.

Hiroyo Matsumoto and Misaki Ohata - Japanese Female Wrestling

As I have pointed out numerous times here, you dont have to go to Japan anymore to see great Japanese female wrestling.
Case in point, Hiroyo Matsumoto and Misaki Ohata who have been wrestling for Shimmer Women Athletes.
Hiroyo and Misaki were even the Shimmer Tag Team Champions at one point as "Seven Star Sisters".
Okay...they only held the titles for one day but still....

Misaki has done quite a bit of wrestling for Shimmer, but hasn't appeared with the promotion since 2011.
Hiroyo has also worked for Shimmer and appeared as late as October 2012 with them.

Apple Miyuki - Japanese Female Wrestling

Here's another female Japanese wrestler that has held the Dramatic Dream Team Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship (three times actually) Apple Miyuki.
(First Cherry, now Apple...hmmmm...)

Apple has been wrestling since 2002 so she has spent 11 of her 28 years on this Earth in the ring.
But that is something you see quite a bit of in Joshi.
Dedication.

Besides the DDT belt, she has held the Kaientai Dojo WEW Hardcore Tag Team Championship (twice withYOSHIYA) and she won the Osaka Pro Wrestling OPW Battle Royal Championship.

Here she is in a match with Ofune...

 

 And here is Apple's official blog.
