By Noah Leatherland

TJPW have announced the Shino Suzuki will be making her return to in-ring action on July 30th. Suzuki had been absent since May, when it was announced that she would be taking a break from wrestling and idol activities for medical reasons.

The following statement was shared on the Up Up Girls Pro Wrestling website:

Shino Suzuki, who had been on hiatus from May 18th due to ill health, has made a steady recovery following rest and treatment. She will therefore be resuming her pro-wrestling activities at the Shinjuku FACE event on Thursday, July 30th.

As for her live performances as an idol, she is scheduled to resume these from around mid-August.

We apologise for the considerable concern caused to our fans and everyone involved during her time away. We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has warmly supported and patiently awaited Shino Suzuki’s return.

Moving forward, whilst taking care to ensure her health, we will continue to bring you her energetic performances. We ask for your continued warm support for Shino Suzuki and Up Up Girls (Pro-Wrestling).

Suzuki also shared a statement on her TJPW return on social media.

I will be returning to competition from July 30th.

I would like to apologise to all my fans, the Tokyo Joshi members, and everyone involved for any inconvenience or concern I may have caused.

I am truly grateful to everyone who supported my decision to take a break and who have given me a place to return to.

I intend to give my all, in my own way, both this summer with everyone and beyond. I look forward to your continued support.
