Prior to the start of the STARDOM 5★STAR GP 2025, the Wonder of STARDOM Champion Starlight Kid had expressed her desire to win the tournament. Her goal was to win the tournament and then challenge the World of STARDOM Champion Saya Kamitani to a double title match.
Starlight Kid’s goal was crushed on Aug. 17th as she lost to Natsupoi in a do or die Red Stars Block B bout. Had Starlight Kid won, she would have gone through to the next round of the tournament but she was denied by her rival Natsupoi.

Starlight Kid finished the 5★STAR GP 2025 with 3 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws to finish with 8 points in her block. She ended her tournament in a disappointing three way tie for 4th place.
Starlight Kid took to social media to express her extreme frustration on her elimination from the tournament.
From Starlight Kid:
This year, Natsupoi stopped me in the 5☆GP. This block is too strong for even Wonder Champion to advance through! I’m extremely frustrated that I let my rivals get through the block, but the greedy White Tiger will now focus on defending the Wonder belt.
As Starlight Kid will now go back to focusing on defending the white belt, she must have in the back of her mind that she lost to Tomoka Inaba and Natsupoi in the tournament. Those two can technically campaign for a future title opportunity which is something Starlight Kid would all but welcome.
We could see Starlight Kid defend the Wonder of STARDOM Championship against Inaba or Natsupoi in the near future as she would love to avenge her tournament losses.
