MLW continues to expand its growing women’s division, and the latest addition brings a unique blend of athleticism, charisma, and showmanship. HIMAWARI, one of Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling’s (TJPW) most dynamic competitors, will make her MLW debut on April 5, 2025, at Battle Riot VII in Los Angeles.
Before stepping into the ring, HIMAWARI built a career in the performing arts. A Japanese actress turned pro wrestler, she graduated from university with a degree in musical theater and later worked as a stage actress, honing her larger-than-life presence that now translates seamlessly into professional wrestling. Since making her official debut in TJPW on January 4, 2023, she has captivated audiences with her theatrical charisma and hard-hitting style.
Standing at 5 feet 1 inch, HIMAWARI is known for her eccentric in-ring energy, often using her super long hair as a weapon. Her finishing move, the Princess Drop, has become a signature, showcasing her power and precision inside the ring.
HIMAWARI’s opponent will be revealed shortly.
