Keio University, one of Tokyo’s most prestigious research universities, held its annual festival which had a dedicated booth (And ring!) for Keio’s Wrestling Association. The KWA is a research organization focused solely on pro-wrestling, established over 50 years ago. Today some of their students are active rookie wrestlers, they have their own championships and participate in multiple events while studying.
Such is the case of the KWA Champion, Kasumi Nashimura, who didn’t look out of place next to STARDOM’s elite faction, Queen’s Quest. AZM, Miyu Amasaki and Lady C were invited to the festival to give speeches, answer questions and even get in the ring for some action.
When asked about their hobbies, the trio gave somewhat unexpected answers. AZM mentioned being into videogames, but fellow 20 year old Miyu gushed about playing Mahjong at a specialized house with STARDOM Executive Producer Rossy Ogawa. Meanwhile, former teacher Lady C mentioned her passion for getting anime artwork on her nails, something anyone can see when looking at her Instagram which is filled with JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure nail art.
On a more serious note, Nashimura asked about fatigue recovery after wrestling a match, with Amasaki telling everyone about her resting routine. Kasumi should take on the advice, since Queen’s Quest decided to close the presentation with a display of moves on the champ. AZM dropkicked Kasumi, Lady C performed a giant swing on her, and Miyu submitted her with a reliable camel clutch as her other stablemates taunted around them. To make matters worse, Nashimura was set to defend her belt later that day.
Lady C, a former student of the university and member of its comedy club, spoke about how nostalgic it was to come back to the building and expressed her desire to return again soon. AZM and Miyu hinted at the possibility of Kasumi wrestling in a NEW BLOOD show, which is not a reach to think about. At the very least, Nashimura is open to playing Mahjong with Miyu on STARDOM’s YouTube channel.
