Tsukushi (つくし, Tsukushi, born September 6, 1997)[1] is a Japanese professional wrestler. Trained by Emi Sakura, Tsukushi made her debut for her Ice Ribbon promotion in January 2010 as part of a trial series with Kurumi. After winning the fan voting, Tsukushi was made an official part of Ice Ribbon's roster the following March and she has since wrestled regularly for the promotion. She is currently in her second reign as both the IW19 Champion and one half of the International Ribbon Tag Team Champions with partner Tsukasa Fujimoto. Tsukushi has previously also held the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship with her trainer Emi Sakura. In her young career, Tsukushi has already been in the ring with some of the biggest names in the history of women's professional wrestling, including Aja Kong, Jaguar Yokota, Manami Toyota, Meiko Satomura and Yoshiko Tamura.

Professional wrestling career

Ice Ribbon (2009–present)

In December 2009, Tsukushi, then only twelve years old, and nine-year old Kurumi began training professional wrestling under Emi Sakura at her promotion Ice Ribbon's dojo in Saitama. Tsukushi's training sessions with Sakura mainly took place on weekends, while on weekdays she remained in her hometown of Kamisu, training amateur wrestling with a local male junior high school wrestling team.[1] In January 2010, Tsukushi and Kurumi were entered into a trial series, which saw them both compete in three minute time limit matches at Ice Ribbon events with those in attendance being given the right to vote on which one should be made a permanent member of the roster; the first to reach 500 votes would win the series.[3] Tsukushi made her professional wrestling debut on January 16, when she wrestled Chii Tomiya to a three minute time limit draw.[2] During the next two months, Tsukushi also wrestled Emi Sakura twice,[4][5] Mai Ichii three times,[6][7][8] and Chii Tomiya and Hamuko Hoshi both once to a time limit draw,[9][10] before suffering her first loss on March 6, against Miyako Matsumoto.[11] On March 13, Tsukushi and Kurumi were defeated in a tag team match by Chii Tomiya and Riho.[12] After the match it was announced that Tsukushi had won the trial series 506 fan votes to 379 and had as a result earned the right to become a member of Ice Ribbon's roster.[12] The following day, she was defeated by Chii Tomiya in her official debut match.[1][13] Tsukushi earned her first win on April 29, when she pinned Tomiya in a tag team match, debuting her finishing maneuver, Harukaze ("Spring Breeze"), in the process.[14] On May 22, Tsukushi broke the record for the fastest win in Ice Ribbon history, when she pinned Emi Sakura in just five seconds.[15] The win earned her a shot at Sakura's ICE×60 Championship, Ice Ribbon's top title, however, she was defeated in the title match on June 5.[16] On July 11, Tsukushi made her debut for the NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling promotion, losing to fellow Ice Ribbon worker Makoto.[17] Tsukushi's first year in professional wrestling ended with her biggest match yet, when she teamed with Natsuki☆Taiyo and Sayaka Obihiro on December 29 in a 24 minute main event, where they were defeated by Emi Sakura, Nanae Takahashi and Yoshiko Tamura.[18]

On March 22, 2011, Tsukushi entered a tournament to crown the first ever InternetWrestling19 Champion; a title contested for exclusively on Ice Ribbon's Ustream program 19 O'Clock Girls ProWrestling.[19] After defeating Mochi Miyagi in her opening match, Tsukushi advanced to the finals, where she managed to score an upset win over the reigning ICE×60, International Ribbon Tag Team and Triangle Ribbon Champion Tsukasa Fujimoto, winning her first title and becoming the inaugural IW19 Champion.[19] On March 31, Tsukushi made her debut for Smash at Smash.15, where she teamed with Hikari Minami and Riho to defeat Emi Sakura, Makoto and Mochi Miyagi in a six woman tag team match.[20][21] On April 10, Tsukushi defended the IW19 Championship for the first time in a special episode of 19 O'Clock Girls ProWrestling, which aired live from the Kashimagakuen High School in Tsukushi's home prefecture of Ibaraki. The title defense against Emi Sakura ended in a nineteen minute time limit draw, which meant that Tsukushi retained her title.[22] Five days later, Tsukushi successfully defended the title against Makoto at an Ice Ribbon and Osaka Pro Wrestling co-promoted episode of 19 O'Clock Girls ProWrestling.[22] The following day, Tsukushi and Riho unsuccessfully challenged Emi Sakura and Ray for the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship.[23] Also in April, Hikari Minami and Riho began producing their own professional wrestling events under the banner of "Teens", which also became the name of the informal stable, which in addition to the two also included Tsukushi, Dorami Nagano and Kurumi.[24] On April 24, Tsukushi was defeated by Riho in the main event of Teens.1.[25] As a result of pinning Tsukasa Fujimoto in the IW19 Championship tournament final, Fujimoto agreed to defend the ICE×60 Championship against Tsukushi. The title match took place on May 5 in the main event of Golden Ribbon at Korakuen Hall, where Fujimoto retained her title.[26][27] On May 13, Tsukushi made her third defense of the IW19 Championship, defeating Chii Tomiya.[28] On May 27, she lost the title to Hikari Minami in her fourth defense, ending her reign at 66 days.[28]

On June 11, Tsukushi broke her own record for the fastest win in Ice Ribbon history by pinning Emi Sakura in four seconds.[29] The following day, Tsukushi wrestled at an event produced by the Jungle Jack 21 stable, facing the group's leader, joshi veteran Aja Kong, in a losing effort.[30][31] In a post-match interview, Kong praised her young opponent, comparing her to joshi legend Manami Toyota.[31] Tsukushi received another shot at the ICE×60 Championship on June 19 at Teens.III, but was again defeated by Tsukasa Fujimoto.[32] On July 10 at Yokohama Ribbon, Tsukushi was defeated in a singles match by freelancer Manami Toyota and was afterwards once again praised by her opponent, who had a 23 year experience advantage over her.[33][34] Tsukushi and Toyota had a rematch on August 21 at Ice's Adventures in Wonderland, where Toyota was again victorious.[35][36] On September 16, Tsukushi attempted to regain the IW19 Championship, but was defeated in the finals of a tournament for the vacant title by her old training partner Kurumi.[37] On September 24, Tsukushi teamed with Manami Toyota in a tournament for the vacant International Ribbon Tag Team Championship. After defeating the team of Kurumi and Ray in the first round and former champions Muscle Venus (Hikaru Shida and Tsukasa Fujimoto) in the semifinals, Tsukushi and Toyota were defeated in the finals by Ice Ribbon's rival promotion Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling representatives Dash Chisako and Sendai Sachiko.[38] On October 15, Tsukushi and Tsukasa Fujimoto wrestled Chisako and Sachiko to a twenty minute time limit draw; as a result, the title was once again declared vacant.[39] The following day, Tsukushi defeated Riho to earn the right to represent Ice Ribbon at Sendai Girls' Dantai Taikou Flash tournament, a single-elimination tournament, where different joshi promotions battled each other.[40] On October 27, Team Ice Ribbon (Tsukushi, Emi Sakura, Hikari Minami, Hikaru Shida and Tsukasa Fujimoto) was eliminated from the tournament in the first round by Team Sendai Girls' (Meiko Satomura, Dash Chisako, Kagetsu, Miyako Morino and Sendai Sachiko), when Tsukushi was pinned by Chisako.[41][42] On December 2, Tsukushi defeated Kurumi to regain the IW19 Championship.[43] The rivalry between Ice Ribbon and Sendai Girls' culminated on December 25 at RibbonMania 2011, where Tsukushi and Emi Sakura faced Meiko Satomura and Sendai Sachiko in a match for the vacant International Ribbon Tag Team Championship. Tsukushi won the match for her team and Ice Ribbon by pinning Sachiko, thus winning the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship for the first time.[44] However, as Sakura had announced just prior to the match that she would be leaving Ice Ribbon the following month, her and Tsukushi's reign lasted only three days before they lost the title to Hikaru Shida and Maki Narumiya.[45] On January 7, 2012, Tsukushi defeated Sakura in her Ice Ribbon farewell match.[46]

On January 8, Tsukushi took part in Bull Nakano's retirement event, participating in a special ten woman tag team match, where each team allegedly included wrestlers in their tens, twenties, thirties, fourties and fifties. In the match, Tsukushi, Dump Matsumoto, Kyoko Inoue, Leon and Sawako Shimono defeated Cherry (the only wrestler in the match whose real age is not known publically), Jaguar Yokota, Manami Toyota, Natsuki☆Taiyo and Tomoka Nakagawa.[47] Back in Ice Ribbon, Tsukushi went on to form a regular tag team with Tsukasa Fujimoto. On January 14, Tsukushi pinned ICE×60 and International Ribbon Tag Team Champion Hikaru Shida in a tag team match, where she and Fujimoto faced Shida and Kurumi.[48] On January 25, Fujimoto asked for a shot at the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship for herself and Tsukushi, in the process naming the team "Dropkickers". The challenge was accepted by Shida, who then went on to avenge her loss to Tsukushi by defeating her in a non-title match four days later.[49][50] On February 5 at Yokohama Ribbon, Tsukushi and Fujimoto defeated Shida and Maki Narumiya to become the new International Ribbon Tag Team Champions.[51]
