It’s not normal that you see a performer go from being a ring announcer to an active wrestler, but that’s what makes Yuki Aino unique in the world of professional wrestling.
Originally, Yuki Aino started off as a trainee but decided to stop in order to focus on her studies, before becoming a ring announcer for Tokyo Joshi in 2017. Whilst watching the matches up close, her dream of becoming a wrestler was rekindled, leading to her leaving her ring announcing position to become a full-time wrestler for the promotion in May 2018.
悔しくて仕方がないけど戦えて楽しかったと心から思ってて、もっともっと強くなりたい前向きな気持ち
赤井さん優希ちゃんありがとうございました！そして今回の挑戦を通して、らくとぽむと応援してくれるみんなのことがより愛しくなったよ。いつもありがとう！
これからもよろしくね✨🫶#tjpw pic.twitter.com/6lMJ2DQDnl— 愛野ユキ❤️🔥yuki aino (@yuki25venus) November 27, 2022
Upon becoming a wrestler, it wasn’t long until she teamed with her sister Nodoka Tenma as BAKURESTU Sisters – the two successfully won the Princess Tag Team championship and held it for 161 days before being beaten by NEO Biishiki-gun’s Sakisama and Mei Saint-Michel.
Following her sister’s graduation from Tokyo Joshi in 2022, she took a leap of faith by challenging Shoko Nakajima for the Princess of Princess championship at Korakuen Hall. Although she didn’t win the title, she began to have more matches worth watching with others such as Max the Impaler, ASUKA and Aja Kong.

On November 27th, Aino and Pom Harajuku unsuccessfully challenged Reiwa AA Cannon (Saki Akai, Yuki Arai) for the Princess Tag Team championships.
She may be on her own now, but there’s no denying that Yuki Aino’s presense in Tokyo Joshi makes her one to watch.
