Professional wrestling career

[edit]

World Wonder Ring Stardom (2015–present)

[edit]

Early career (2015–2018)

[edit]

Starlight Kid made her professional wrestling debut on October 11, 2015 in a three-way match in which she andMomo Watanabe lost toKaori Yoneyama.[1] On November 8, she competed in her first major Stardom tournament, teaming up with Hiromi Mimura to compete in the2015 Goddesses of Stardom Tag League.[citation needed] The team lost in the first round to Watanabe & Datura.[citation needed] After that, she would team up with Miura very often. Kid spent most of her matches losing to other, more experienced wrestlers, which would help put over other wrestlers while at the same time giving Starlight Kid some in-ring, televised, experience.

Starting in June 2016, Kid took a year long break from wrestling. She made her return on June 11, 2017.[2][3] In March 2018, she would participate in the tournament for the inauguralFuture of Stardom Championship where she defeatedHanan in the first round and then she would defeat Shiki Shibusawa in the tournament final to become the inauguralFuture of Stardom Champion, which was newly established at theKorakuen Hall Tournament, and became the first champion.[4]

As a result of the 2018 Stardom Draft on April 15, 2018, Starlight Kid formed a stable withMayu Iwatani,Saki Kashima, Shiki Shibusawa,Natsumi, andTam Nakano after she was revealed as their fifth pick with stable being later namedSTARS. On May 27, at Shining Stars, her first singles match withIo Shirai ended in defeat, but the audience highly praised it. Post-match, AZM challenged her for the Future of Stardom Championship, and on June 3 at Queen's Fes In Sapporo, the match went to a time-limit draw. From October 23 until November 4, Kid & Natsumi took part in the2018 Goddesses of Stardom Tag League, finishing the tournament with a record of two wins, two losses, and one draw, failing to advance to the tournament finals.

On January 3, 2019, Kid lost her title toUtami Hayashishita at New Years Stars, ending her reign at 281 days. AtStardom Cinderella Tournament 2019 on April 29, she made it to the semi-finals where she fell short to Konami.[5]

On the first night of theStardom Cinderella Tournament 2021 from April 10, 2021, Kid defeatedMomo Watanabe in the first rounds of the competition.[6] On the second night from May 14, she fell short toSaya Kamitani in the second rounds.[7]

On the last night of the2021 Cinderella Tournament from June 12, 2021, Kid leftStars stable after she,Koguma,Hanan, Iwatani andRin Kadokura lost toOedo Tai (Natsuko Tora, Konami,Fukigen Death,Ruaka & Saki Kashima) in aTen-Woman Elimination Tag Team Match where the winner had to pick a member from the opposite unit with Oedo Tai picking Kid after she was eliminated in the end.[8]

After defecting fromStars, Starlight Kid switched from her light-colored masks (left 2019 and center 2020) to a darker one (right, 2022) to depict her embracing the dark side of Oedo Tai. Her mask style, similar to the ones worn byQueen's Quest members until early 2022, was inspired byTiger Mask.

AtYokohama Dream Cinderella 2021 in Summer on July 4, 2021, Kid rebranded her outfit to fit Oedo Tai's colors wearing a black and purple outfit and mask. She teamed up with Ruaka for the first time as an Oedo Tai member and fell short toQueen's Quest'sMomo Watanabe & AZM.[9] Kid also challenged Tam Nakano for theWonder of Stardom Championship unsuccessfully on July 21. At theStardom 5 Star Grand Prix 2021, Kid competed in the "Red Stars" block where she scored a total of 11 points.[10] On August 29, on the eighth night of the Grand Prix, Kid defeated Natsupoi to winHigh Speed Championship.[11] AtStardom 10th Anniversary Grand Final Osaka Dream Cinderella on October 9, 2021, Kid defended theHigh Speed Championship against Saki Kashima.[12] At the2021 Goddesses of Stardom Tag League, Kid teamed up with Ruaka as "Kurotora Kaidou" and competed in the "Blue Goddess" block where they scored a total of seven points.[13]

SinceKawasaki Super Wars, the first event of theStardom Super Wars trilogy which took place on November 3, 2021, Kid would enter in the quest to recruit more members into Oedo Tai which would lead to a feud with Momo Watanabe who would later be a victim of Starlight Kid's mind games as the latter's strategy to recruit members to Oedo Tai. First, Kid successfully defended the High Speed Championship against Watanabe on November 3.[14] AtTokyo Super Wars on November 27, she defended the High Speed title again against Koguma.[15] Kid's mind games against Watanabe eventually degenerated into anEight-Woman Elimination Tag Team Match at in which both of them would be the captains of their respective teams. The loser captain would be forced to join the enemy unit and if Kid lost, she would also have to unmask and reveal her real name. The match took place on December 18, atOsaka Super Wars, the event which represented the last part of the "Super Wars" trilogy. With the match coming down to the wire and Queen's Quest holding a 2 to 1 advantage over Kid, a shocking moment occurred when Watanabe betrayed her Queen's Quest and hit her long-time tag team partnerAZM over the head with a chair, handing the win to Oedo Tai and with Kid keeping her mask and Watanabe joining the stable.[16] AtStardom Dream Queendom, Kid once again defended the High Speed title successfully against AZM and Koguma in athree-way match.[17]
