Yoshiko Tamura Biography

Yoshiko Tamura is one of the most popular and richest Professional Wrestler who was born on February 6, 1976 in Edogawa, Tokyo, Japan. Yoshiko Tamura, also known as Tamura Yoshiko or Tian Cun Xin Zi, is a Japanese professional wrestler. She was born on February 6, 1976. Tamura was first trained by All Japan Women’s Pro-Wrestling in September 1994. She won the AJW Junior Championship before moving on to a mass exodus with Kyoko Inoue. Tamura was the “Ace”, a NEO promotion member who won the NEO Single, NWA Women’s Pacific Championships seven times, and the NEO Tag Team Championship three more times. Tamura held the NEO Single, NWA Women’s Pacific Championships for 2,074 consecutive days and defended them 38 times. Tamura retired at the conclusion of NEO’s last event on December 31, 2010 after being inducted into NEO Hall of Fame.

Tamura faced 31 other wrestlers during a match in which she was the only one. Tamura defeated The Bloody on September 20 to win Trans World Federation’s World Women’s Championship. This title is owned by JDStar promotion. She put the title up for grabs against Misae Genki, the NWA Women’s Pacific Champion and NEO Single. The match ended in a one hour time limit draw. Both champions retained their titles. Genki and Tamura fought for their titles a year later when Genki was defeated by Tamura to win the NWA Women’s Pacific Championships. Tamura held the title for all of 2006. She defeated Mima Shimoda (Ran Yu-Yu), Toshie Uematsu and Kyoko Inoue to win it. Tamura was able to return to the USA on June 24, 2006 to compete in ChickFight V, San Francisco, California. Tamura was eliminated in the semifinals by Cheerleader Melissa. She then went on to defend the NEO Single, NWA Women’s Pacific Championships against MsChif. Tamura and Haruka defeated the Oz Academy team consisting of Carlos Amano, Chikayo Nagashima, and won the Mid Summer Tag Tournament VI. Tamura took part in Wrestle Expo 2006, Odaiba. She defeated MsChif in finals to win the tournament and retain the NEO Single as well as the NWA Women’s Pacific Championships. Tamura’s dominance continued into 2007, when she won the NWA Women’s Pacific Championship defense against Emi Sakura, Vanessa the Mountain, and Ayako Hamada. Tamura and Emi Sakura beat Haruka Mizuo and Misae Geneki to win NEO Tag Team Championship. Tamura became a double champion. But Tamura and Sakura’s reign was over thirteen days later when Sakura and Haruka Matsuo defeated Haruka Genki and Misae Genki to win the NEO Tag Team Championship. Haruka Matsuo, Tamura’s former tag team partner, lost the NWA Women’s Pacific Championships and NEO Single Championships to Tamura on September 17, 2007. Tamura’s reign, which lasted 645 days, and 15 successful title defenses are unparalleled records in NEO history.

Tamura made her acting debut in the 2009 film Three Count, where she played the role of a professional wrestling trainer, working alongside Emi Sakura, Kyoko Inoue and Hikaru Shida. She also made a cameo appearance as herself in a voice-acting role in episode seven of the 2013 women’s wrestling anime television series Wanna Be the Strongest in the World.

On May 5, 2010, following the departure of Kyoko Inoue, NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling, which was celebrating its tenth anniversary, announced that it would cease its operations after the year-end show on December 31. The announcement was followed by Tamura, Tanny Mouse and Yuki Miyazaki, dubbed the NEO3, all announcing that the event would also feature their final professional wrestling matches. After successful Tag Team Championship defenses against the teams of Seven Star Sisters (Hiroyo Matsumoto and Misaki Ohata), the Shirai Sisters (Io and Mio), Triple Tails (Io Shirai and Kana), and the NEO Machineguns, Tamura successfully defended the NEO Single and NWA Women’s Pacific Championships against Kurihara on October 11. On November 6, Tamura successfully defended the NEO Single and NWA Women’s Pacific Championships against longtime rival Kyoko Kimura in a Street Fighting Spirit Death Match. On November 13, Tamura and Kurihara lost the NEO Tag Team Championship to Aya Yuki and Ryo Mizunami. During the next month, Tamura went on a retirement tour across the Japanese independent circuit, which saw her successfully defend the NEO Single and NWA Women’s Pacific Championships against Yumi Ohka in Pro Wrestling Wave, Kaori Yoneyama in JWP Joshi Puroresu, and Hikaru Shida in Ice Ribbon. Tamura also successfully defended the titles in NEO against Emi Sakura and Aya Yuki to ensure that she would head to her final night in professional wrestling as the champion. Prior to the event, Tamura was inducted into the NEO Hall of Fame. On December 31, Tamura lost the NEO Single and NWA Women’s Pacific Championships to Ayumi Kurihara in her singles retirement match, ending her final reign at 605 days and twelve successful defenses. Later that same night, Tamura, Tanny Mouse and Yuki Miyazaki, the NEO veterans, wrestled NEO rookies Aya Yuki, Mika Iida and Nagisa Nozaki to a ten-minute time limit draw in the final match in not only the careers of Tamura, Mouse and Miyazaki, but also in the history of NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling.

NEO Japan Ladies Pro-Wrestling started running shows in 2000. The first event was on May 31st. Tamura and Azumi Hyuga faced Misae Genki, Ran Yu-Yu, and were subject to a time limit draw for the main event. Tamura reimagined herself in NEO as Tamura-sama, adopting the role of an arrogant villain. Tamura was NEO’s representative at the National Wrestling Alliance’s (NWA), Wildwood, New Jersey, USA on August 24th. She defeated Nicole Bass to become first NWA Women’s Pacific Champion. Although both titles were represented by separate belts, the title was unified from the beginning with the NEO Single Championship. Tamura defeated Takako Inoue to win her first title defense in Japan on September 22. Tamura also defended her titles against Misae Geneki on October 13, and Kyoko Inoue, on November 21. Tamura lost her fourth defense of the titles to Mima Shimida on February 11, 2001. This ended her reign at 171 day. Tamura reached the finals at the NEO Japan Cup in May 2001, but was defeated by Misae Genki. Tamura won the NEO Single and NWA Women’s Pacific Championships on December 7. She defeated champion Lioness asuka, KyokoInoue, Mima Shamoda, Misae Geneki, Ran Yu-Yu and Kyoko Inoue in a six-way elimination match. After winning the defenses against Misae Geneki, Yuki Miyazaki, and Kyoko Inoue on December 7, Tamura lost her titles to Etsuko Mita in an elimination match. Tamura beat Mima Shimoda the next month to win 2002 NEO Japan Cup. This earned Tamura another title shot on June 8 when Tamura defeated Mita in order to win the NWA Women’s Pacific Championships and the NEO Single. Tamura’s third reign came to an abrupt halt on October 14, 2002 when the HJPG stable (Horipro Joshi Puroresu Group), stole her belt. The belt was declared vacant and placed up for grabs during a tournament. To win the vacant titles, Tamura defeated Kyoko Shimoda and Mima Inoue in a three-way elimination tournament match. Inoue defeated Tamura in a Two Out of Three Falls match on February 2, 2003. Three months later, Tamura defeated Azumi Hiuga to win the NEO Single & NWA Women’s Pacific Championships. Tamura tried to be a double champion in September when she teamed up with Ofune for the Itabashi Tag Team Championship tournament. Tamura and Ofune reached the finals of this tournament before being defeated by the NEO Machineguns Yuki Miyazaki and Tanny Mouse. Tamura’s 5th NEO Single and NWA Women’s Pacific Championship reign lasted 314 days. She was defeated by Momoe Nagaishi on March 12, 2004.

Tamura received training at the All Japan Women’s Pro Wrestling dojo. She made her debut against Kaoru Kanayama on September 15, 1994. Tamura defeated Misae Watanabe to win her first championship, the vacant AJW Junior Championship. Tamura lost her title to Tomoko Myaguchi after a 14-month period. Tamura and other key wrestlers from AJW took part in a mass exodus that Kyoko Inoue led the following year. This was due to financial difficulties.

Tamura parted ways with AJW and became a member of Kyoko Inoue’s dojo. She was also planning to start her own promotion. NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling was not able to start regular shows for more than two years. Tamura also appeared for several independent promotions such as Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling, Hyper Visual Fighting Arsion, and Oz Academy. Tamura defeated Toshie Uematsu in the WCW Women’s Cruiserweight Championship on July 19, 1997. This title was also recognized by American promotion World Championship Wrestling, (WCW). The title would be held by Tamura for two months before being lost to Sugar Sato in her second Gaea Japan appearance.

Before the end of 2007, Tamura would once again wear gold in NEO, when she regained the NEO Tag Team Championship from Hamada and Ito on November 4, this time teaming with old rival Misae Genki. They would lose the title to the NEO Machineguns on March 2, 2008. Afterwards, Tamura began feuding with the Revolucion Amandla stable of Atsuko Emoto, Kyoko Kimura and Tomoka Nakagawa, often teaming with the likes of Aya Yuki, Etsuko Mita and Misae Genki. During late 2008, the feud turned into a three-way battle, when Passion Red (Nanae Takahashi, Kana and Natsuki☆Taiyo) entered NEO. In February 2009, Tamura found a new tag team partner in Ayumi Kurihara. The team, dubbed “The Soul to One”, would receive their first shot at the NEO Tag Team Championship on March 8, but was defeated by the defending champions, Revolucion Amandla’s Atsuko Emoto and Kyoko Kimura. On May 5, Tamura won the NEO Single and NWA Women’s Pacific Championships for the seventh time by defeating former tag team partner Emi Sakura with a new finishing maneuver, Mount Cook. Approaching July’s Mid Summer Tag Tournament VIII, Kurihara turned her back on the new NEO Single and NWA Women’s Pacific Champion by accepting former rival Kana’s request to become her tag team partner for the tournament. This was followed by Emi Sakura and Aya Yuki also declining an offer to team with Tamura, instead choosing other partners. Finally, Fuka accepted Tamura’s offer to become her partner for the tournament. During the tournament Tamura gained a measure of revenge on both Yuki and Kurihara, when she and Fuka first eliminated the team of Yuki and Minori Makiba in the first round and then Kurihara and Kana in the semifinals. However, in the finals of the tournament, Tamura and Fuka were defeated by Emi Sakura and Nanae Takahashi. This led to a NEO Single and NWA Women’s Pacific Championship match on September 20, where Tamura successfully defended the titles against Takahashi. On December 31, the reunited Tamura and Ayumi Kurihara defeated Nanae Takahashi and Kana of Passion Red for the NEO Tag Team Championship. They would make their first title defense on February 14, 2010, defeating Revolucion Amandla representatives Kyoko Kimura and Tomoka Nakagawa.
