Xóchitl Guadalupe Hamada Villarreal (ソーチル・グアダルーペ・ハマダ・ビジャレアル,Sōchiru Guadarūpe Hamada Bijarearu; ring name:ソチ浜田,Sochi Hamada; born May 1, 1970) is aJapanese Mexican semi-retiredLuchadora orprofessional wrestler. She is the daughter of Japanese professional wrestlerGran Hamada, the sister of wrestlerAyako Hamada and the sister-in-law ofTiger Mask IV. Hamada was once married to Mexican wrestlerSilver King and is currently married to Mexican wrestler Pentagon Black. Hamada has worked for most of her professional wrestling career in Mexico, making occasional appearances in her father's home country of Japan. Xóchitl Hamada has worked for Mexico's two largest wrestling companies,Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) andAsistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA). She has held theCMLL World Women's Championship and was the firstAAA Reina de Reinas (Spanish for "Queen of Queens").
Xóchitl Hamada made her professional wrestling debut in 1986, counting both her father,Gran Hamada,Blue Panther and the patriarch of the Nieves wrestling familyShadito Cruz among her trainers. After working in both Japan and her native Mexico, Hamada began working forConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in the early 1990s as the company began building a women’s division.[1] On March 21, 1993, Hamada defeatedBull Nakano to become the second everCMLL World Women's Champion.[2] Hamada's title reign lasted for almost seven months before she was defeated by theRuda (villain)La Diabólica on October 10, 1993.[2] While Hamada received numerous rematches she never managed to reclaim the championship.[2] In the mid-1990s CMLL's interest in the women's division waned, leaving Hamada and others with very little regular work.[1]
In 1997 Xóchitl Hamada decided to leave CMLL and began working for its rival promotionAsistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) which had a more active women's division.[1] At AAA's 1997Verano de Escandalo event Hamada teamed with La Pracicante, losing aRelevos Suicidas tag team match toMartha Villalobos and Sexi Boom. As per theSuicidas rules the Hamada and La Practicante had to wrestle in aLucha de Apuestas, bet match, with their hair on the line. Hamada defeated La Practicante and shaved off her competitor's hair after the match.[3] Three months later, Hamada teamed up with Lady Discovery, Lady Luxor and Lady Venum (A female version of theLos Cadetos del Espacio group) to defeat La Fugitiva, La Migala, La Practicante and Martha Villalobos on the undercard of the 1997Guerra de Titanes show.[4] A year after wrestling in aRelevos Suicida match at the 1997Verano de Escandalo, she participated in another one at that year'sVerano de Escandalo show. Once again Hamada and her partner, this timeRossy Moreno, lost the match as they were defeated by Alda Moreno andMiss Janeth. TheApuesta match left Rossy Moreno bald as Xóchitl Hamada was once again successful.[5] The match atVerano de Escandalo was a result of a long-running storyline feud between Hamada and the Moreno family (Rossy, Alda andEsther Moreno). On February 19, 1999 Hamada defeated Janeth, Rossy Moreno and Esther Moreno in the four-way final to win AAA's first everReina de Reinas tournament.[6] The Hamada/Moreno feud continued further in 1999 when the Moreno family defeated La Migala, Miss Janeth and Hamada at that year'sRey de Reyes show.[7]
AtTriplemanía VII Hamada competed in an inter-gender match againstPentagón, her real life husband, a match she lost by disqualification when she ripped Pentagón's mask off during the match.[8] The Hamada / Moreno family feud kept running into the new millennia where Hamada and Pentagón went to a double count out against Esther Moreno andEl Oriental (Also a Moreno) atTriplemanía VIII inTokyo,Japan.[9] Her long-running feud with the Moreno family extended beyond Hamada leaving AAA in the mid-2000s as she continued to wrestle against various Moreno siblings on theindependent circuit.[1] WhenCinthia Moreno and El Oriental left AAA in 2009 Hamada resumed wrestling the sibling team in mixed tag team matches, teaming with Pentagón Black.[10]
Hamada is the daughter of professional wrestlerGran Hamada as well as the sister of wrestlerAyako Hamada and has at least one other sister. She is the ex-sister-in-law ofTiger Mask IV who was married to a sister who is not a professional wrestler.[11] For many years Hamada was married toCésar Cuauhtémoc González, who wrestled as "Silver King" and together they have a son who aspires to wrestle as "Silver King, Jr." one day.[12] She is currently married to professional wrestlerJosé Mercado López, who wrestled as "Pentagon Black".[11]
