Okuda's new look

T. Okuda, late of Sendai and now in Tokyo on Team MAKEHEN's books is adopting the Tokyo look already though pink leopard skin is so wrong girl!



Sendai Girls go to Niigata

Sendai Girls Pro-Wrestling will, in May, have their first card outside of Sendai/Miyagi when they visit Niigata. Meiko Satomura is from the city so obviously will be hoping for a hometown win. Her opponent Aja Kong will have other ideas of course. That card is on May 5th. Sendai also have cards on March 29th and April 19th in Sendai and will see the conclusion of the Jaja Uma tournament. They will also be appearing at the Arabaki Rock Festival on April 25th.

Okuda joins Team MAKEHEN

Tyrannosaurus Okuda, who left Sendai Girls last year, is apparently going to join Team MAKEHEN. That is an odd one as MAKEHEN, who do have some good young wrestlers like the Shirai sisters are rather obscure and is rarely televised (mind you Sendai isn't on the goggle box that much these days). A weird one, it could be MAKEHEN have ambitions about raising their profile, or it could be an elaborate angle, or just... an odd decision.

Anyway in MAKEHEN she will be known as Shuri Okuda. The Pozmeister has some good analysis on her decision and how it could work out really well for her.

Meanwhile in Sendai Girls the first matches in the Jaja Uma tournament were held. Yoko Yamada beat Yukari Ishino, Esui beat Minori Makiba, Hanako Kobayashi beat Hiren (noooo!!!) and Ryo Mizunami beat Raika.

Jaja Uma Tournament 2009

Sendai Girls will be holding the second edition of it's Jaja Uma tournament for young wrestlers over the next few months.

On the 21/2 card :

Minori Makiba (Ice Ribbon) vs Esui (Ibuki)
Hanako Kobayashi (JWP) vs Hiren (Sendai)
Yoko Yamada (free) vs Yukari Ichino (Sendai)
Ryo Mizunami (Sendai) vs Raika (free)

Then on the 29/3 card :

Dash Chisako (Sendai) vs winner of Minori/Esui
Chihiro Oikawa (Queen Bee) vs winner of Mizunami/Raika
Misaki Ohata (Ibuki) vs winner of Hiren/Kobayashi
Sendai Sachiko (Sendai) vs winner of Yamada/Ichino

Then semi-finals and final on the 19/4 card.


As you know i need little excuse to adorn a blog posting with a Hiren pic

Okuda to leave Sendai Girls

Tyrannosaurus Okuda has apparently left Sendai Girls. She is currently out injured but will probably return in the Summer as a free lancer. Its a blow to Sendai Girls who have a thin roster anyway though some fans are speculating if it is an angle. It probably isn't, Okuda feels the draw of Tokyo. The big worry for Meiko Satomura will be who else will want to try the big city, a lure many young people in the provinces feel (i always resisted it, London in my case, but i regret it now sometimes). Hiren maybe?

On their latest show Sendai ran it's usual 1 day tournament. The final was between Meiko Satomura and Ryo Mizunami which is pretty much as expected. The winner was too!


An odd case of swapped hair colours, Dash looks much better with her hair like this. Hiren is perfect, as always.

It was back to the red gear for Hiren, who did make her Sendai debut in the D-FIX black lace gear on the Devil Masami card last month.

DVD Review : Sendai Girls 20/04/08

Sendai Girls 20/04/08 Zepp Sendai

Sendai Girls held the Jaja Uma Tournament for young wrestlers earlier in the year, this DVD shows the 1st round matches.

Ryo Mizunami vs Minori Makiba

Sendai's GAEA trained rookie Ryo starts us off against 15 year old Minori from Ice Ribbon. Its the first time i've seen Minori and she has a lot of bulk but carries it reasonably well. Also wrestles pretty well but Ryo is better. 1.5/5



Arisa Nakajima vs Hiren

I HEART Hiren but she is outclassed in this match which was pre-D-FIX i believe. The signs of her heelish future are there though as she is aggressive but Arisa is the much better wrestler. 1/5

Ayako Sato vs Misaki Ohata

Ayako Sato takes time out from her usual LLPW beatings to face Ibuki's Misaki Ohati. Decent enough match though nothing exceptional. 1/5

Sendai Sachiko vs Mio Shirai

TEAM MAKEHEN's sexy Mio Shirai struts to the ring, she looks good though her moveset is still pretty limited. Technique can be trained though, charisma is something you are born with so Mio will be a big star one day. I like Sachiko but she needs to develop her personality beyond the eager earnest rookie. 1/5

Hiroyo Matsumoto vs Mika Mizunuma (Mikado)

Though still only wrestling for a couple of years Hiroyo has accomplished quite a lot already and outclasses TEAM MAKEHEN's Mika Mizunuma. Mika is big like Minori but while the Ice Ribbon teen could get a big solid build with some gym work Mika is more bulk for the sake of it and needs to up her fitness. 1/5

Io Shirai vs Pinkie Mayuki


TEAM MAKEHEN's Io versus JWP's Pinkie. Io is probably the better of the Shirai sisters while Pinkie is damn good for a 16 year old. Decent match though the referee screws up the ending a bit. 1/5

Kana vs DASH Chisako

I love DASH, she is high energy and anger, Kana is the magical flying butt. Kana is much further along the rookie development trail and it shows here. Good match, i always enough DASH though, even when she is being killed in seconds by veterans. 1.5/5

Tyrannosaurus Okuda vs Hanako Kobayashi

Okuda was then the JWP/POP Jr champion. This match doesn't quite work, Okuda is the best of the Sendai rookies but not yet good enough to carry a main event. Still like all matches on this card its good to see reasonably evenly matched youngsters fight it out without veterans crushing them or hogging the limelight. 1/5

Aja Kong アジャ・コング bt Hiren 悲恋 in 2:28

Afterwards it was announced Meiko Satomura comeback match would be against Aja Kong! Aja Kong said it would be Meiko's retirement match not her comeback match!

Match : Mio Shirai & Io Shirai vs. DASH Chisako & Sendai Sachiko

Part 1 of a (hopefully) regular trawl of joshi matches available on YouTube, now be warned these videos might be pulled any time. First week... well as Mio Shirai and DASH Chisako are 2 of my favourite stars from the new generation how could i resist this match?

Meiko Satomura will return in October!

Sendai Girls trainer and top star Meiko Satomura 里村明衣子 (and my personal favourite Japanese female wrestler of all) will return after a year out with injury on the Sendai Girls October 26th show. Meiko's eye was badly injured by Azumi Hyuga in a match last year. She has had to have 3 operations on her eye but has now been given the all-clear by Doctors to wrestler (though is still wearing a patch).

Meiko said she had no ill-feelings to Azumi. As yet Meiko's opponent is unknown, it won't be Azumi as she is injured too.

Zepp Sendai 27/07/08 : Sendai Girls vs OZ Academy

Before the matches began it was announced that Tyrannosaurus Okuda would not be able to fight Carlos Amano because of injury, Ryo Mizunami said she would take her place. Obviously Ryo wants to earn her money today because she is also to face Sonoko Kato and the latest Sendai rookie in her debut. Three matches in a row then!

Recently Hiren has appeared on OZ Academy shows and become a heel, would she continue along the heel route in Sendai Girls?

After the match Mayumi Ozaki and KAORU came into the ring to help Hiren who said she wanted to join heel stable D-Fix thus setting up an extra match...
