Kaoru Biography

Kaoru is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on February 9, 1969 in Sasebo, Japan. Kaoru Maeda (前田 薫 , Maeda Kaoru, born February 9, 1969) is a Japanese professional wrestler better known by the ring name Kaoru (stylized in all capital letters). Billed as the “Original Hardcore Queen”, Kaoru is known for her wrestling style, which combines high- flying with hardcore wrestling. Trained by the All Japan Women’s Pro-Wrestling (AJW) promotion, Maeda worked in both Japan and Mexico in the late 80s and early 90s, before making her breakthrough in the Gaea Japan promotion, where she most notably was a founding member of the D-Fix stable. After the folding of Gaea Japan in 2005, Maeda became a freelancer, though closely affiliating herself with the Oz Academy promotion. After returning from a three-year-long injury break in March 2014, Maeda resumed working as a freelancer, before signing with the new Marvelous promotion in January 2015.

On December 17, 1999, Kaoru turned on the Gaea Seikigun and joined forces with Aja Kong, Lioness Asuka and Sonoko Kato to form the DorA (Dead or Alive) stable. As a member of the stable, Kaoru adopted a new wrestling style, combining her high-flying abilities with a hardcore wrestling style. On February 6, 2000, Kaoru defeated Toshiyo Yamada to become the number one contender to stablemate Aja Kong’s AAAW Single Championship. Kaoru received her title shot seven days later, but was unable to dethrone the defending champion. Eventually the match led to the dissolution of the DorA stable. Meanwhile, Kaoru developed a storyline rivalry with Mayumi Ozaki. After defeating Ozaki with the use of a steel chain, Ozaki came back to defeat Kaoru in a Weapons match on May 14 at Gaea’s fifth anniversary event to become the number one contender to the AAAW Single Championship.

The following November Kaoru suffered an injury, which would sideline her for the next five months. During her hiatus, Ozaki picked Takako Inoue as Kaoru’s replacement in D-Fix. Kaoru returned on April 30, 2004, teaming with Ozaki and Inoue in a six woman tag team match, where they defeated Devil Masami, Dynamite Kansai and Eagle Sawai. However, Kaoru’s return was short-lived as just five days later, she broke the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee and was again sidelined from in-ring competition. Kaoru returned from her injury on January 16, 2005, teaming with D-Fix’s newest member, Ayako Hamada, to defeat Chikayo Nagashima and Lioness Asuka in a tag team match. However, the following month, Kaoru broke her femur and was once again sidelined. During her time out of the ring, Gaea Japan folded on April 10, 2005.

Kaoru returned from her femur injury on April 15, 2006, at an independent event produced by Chigusa Nagayo. On September 1, 2006, Kaoru made her return to the United States to take part in the ChickFight VI tournament in San Francisco, California. On September 2, Kaoru first defeated Tiana Ringer in her first round match and then MsChif in her semifinal match. The following day, she was defeated in the finals of the tournament by Daizee Haze. On December 16, Kaoru wrestled at a Luchamania event in Minneapolis, Minnesota, teaming with Mini Abismo Negro in a losing effort against the team of La Parkita and Xóchitl Hamada.

On August 25, 1994, Kaoru appeared at a press conference, where Chigusa Nagayo announced the formation of the new Gaea Japan promotion. Kaoru was positioned as the second in command after Nagayo and helped her in training up-and-coming wrestlers in the promotion’s dojo. The promotion held its first show on April 15, 1995, where Kaoru defeated Yasha Kurenai. During Gaea’s first years, Kaoru wrestled as a member of the Gaea Seikigun (“regular army”), while also making sporadic appearances under a mask as Infernal Kaoru. Kaoru’s first Gaea accomplishment took place on September 23, 1995, when she, Meiko Satomura and Tomoko Kuzumi won the Splash J & Running G tournament. Through Gaea Japan’s working relationship with the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) promotion, Kaoru made her American debut on November 30, 1996, in Wheeling, West Virginia, defeating Sonoko Kato in the quarterfinals of a tournament to crown the inaugural WCW Women’s Champion. Kaoru was eventually eliminated from the tournament in the semifinals by Akira Hokuto, who went on to win the entire tournament.
