Deletion?

I don't think we should delete this. In Japan's hugely male-dominated society, a female wrestler is quite suprising. It goes against the basis of male dominance, and Japan has very little female activism for equal rights as a whole. I think that if she broke into National wrestling (and ended up dying for it) she deserves an article. 63.3.13.2 00:52, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, though I have heard that Japan's society is traditionally patriarchal, I also have heard that Japan has a stronger tradition of women's professional wrestling than the USA does. In the context of the Japanese women's tradition, Emiko Kado, at least from the information presented in this article, does not appear to be significant. There are many legendary Japanese women, such as Chigusa Nagayo and Jackie Sato, that demonstrate much more notably the points you have raised. It seems to me that the only thing notable about the unfortunate Miss Kado is the fact that she was a wrestler that died. - Geoffg 04:48, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Women's professional wrestling is not out of the ordinary in Japan (although it seems to be waning in popularity). There have been several joshi puroresu promotions over the years (they have traditionally been separate from the male-oriented promotions, with only occasional co-promoted events, as their fan demographics also tended to split along gender lines). The existence of a female wrestler in Japan is not by itself shocking. — Gwalla | Talk 04:35, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
