Takemoto was trained by
Kana and
Minoru Tanaka, making her debut in February 2015. Konami spent her early career competing for independent promotions such as
Pro Wrestling Wave, Reina and
JWP, eventually signing to Reina. After leaving the promotion in July 2016, she went on a short hiatus before returning to pro wrestling in November and debuting for World Wonder Ring Stardom in December 2016,[3][4] going on to become a regular in the promotion before signing full time in May 2018.
Career
Early career (2015–2016)
Konami first developed an interest in pro wrestling through her brother, who was an avid fan himself and would regularly watch it on television.[1] Eventually, she and her brother attended a local show where she met
Kana, and expressed interest in becoming a wrestler.[5] Kana told her to apply for training after she had at least graduated junior high school and gave her her contact details. While she attended high school, she trained under former MMA fighter
Megumi Fujii at a local martial arts gym.[5][6] After graduating from high school in 2014, she moved to Tokyo and began training under Kana and
Minoru Tanaka.[6] Konami debuted for Kanapromania in early 2015,[7][8][9] initially competing as a member of Kana's agency. After Kana announced she would be leaving for
WWE in late 2015, Konami was forced to leave the agency and soon after signed with Reina Joshi Puroresu.[10][11] She also started competing for
Pro Wrestling Wave and
JWP, unsuccessfully challenging Rydeen Hagane for the
JWP Junior Championship and the
Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championship on July 17, 2016.[12] In July, Konami announced her intention to resign from Reina, and on July 21, she co-promoted a final show with Reina, teaming with
Yuko Miyamoto in a fluorescent light tubes deathmatch main event, losing to
Jun Kasai and
Kagetsu.[13][14] After quitting Reina, Konami made appearances for World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana and Wave, before announcing she would be taking an indefinite leave from pro wrestling after August 14 to treat and recover from internal diseases, but vowed to return.[15] In her farewell match, she teamed with her trainer Minoru Tanaka in a loss to
Cat Power and
Onryo.[16] While recovering from treatment, she announced she had signed with agency GPS, and would return at their produced show on November 5.[17] In her return match, she lost to
Kairi Hojo.[4]
World Wonder Ring Stardom (2016–present)
Debut and initial feuds (2016–2017)
Konami debuted for
World Wonder Ring Stardom on December 22, 2016, defeating Hiromi Mimura, and confirmed she would be competing for the promotion regularly.[3][18] She was pushed as a strong contender despite being a newcomer, wrestling in competitive matches against established wrestlers like
Toni Storm,
Io Shirai and
Yoko Bito. She began a feud with
Kairi Hojo, and unsuccessfully challenged for the
Wonder of Stardom Championship on March 26, 2017.[19] After losing to Hojo, the two formed an alliance, and teamed with Hiromi Mimura to win the
Artist of Stardom Championship on May 6, 2017, giving Konami her first ever championship.[20] They lost the titles less than a month later to
Queen's Quest.[21] Konami entered her first 5 Star Grand Prix in August but struggled greatly, losing all but one of her matches, defeating
Mandy Leon on the final day.[citation needed] At Mask Fiesta 2017 on October 29, Konami, under the
ring nameMasked Wan-chan, donned a mask and teamed up with
Aloha Bito and Shout Woman in a loss to
Chupa Panda,
Iotica and
Mini Iotica.[22]
Queen's Quest (2018–2019)
At the annual unit draft on April 15, 2018, Konami was picked by
Io Shirai to be drafted into her
Queen's Quest stable.[23][24] On May 20, she officially announced that she had joined the Stardom roster full time.[25] As a member of Queen's Quest, she received a shot at the
Goddesses of Stardom Championship, teaming with
Momo Watanabe in a loss to
Mayu Iwatani and
Saki Kashima.[26] She entered the 5 Star Grand Prix once again and to greater success, finishing with 6 points but failing to make the final.[27] On September 30, she unsuccessfully challenged
Nicole Savoy for the
Shimmer Championship.[28] After 364 days in Queen's Quest, Konami was drafted to the Tokyo Cyber Squad on April 14, 2019.[29]
