Utami Hayashishita began her pro-wrestling career with STARDOM back in 2018. She left the promotion in early 2024 as she was part of an exodus of STARDOM talent that joined Rossy Ogawa’s Marigold.

After a two year stint with Marigold, Utami Hayashishita left the promotion on May 23rd and three days later surprised the pro-wrestling world by returning to STARDOM on May 26th as a freelancer.

Hayashishita is a former World of STARDOM champion and will look to regain the coveted Red Belt on June 30th.
