The announcement comes as part Sakazaki celebrating ten years as a professional wrestler, with her last match for the company scheduled to be on December 6th. Sakazaki plans to wrestle on all TJPW shows before her last date.

Alongside this, the Magical Girl has spoken about her desire to wrestle more abroad and in the United States, but did not rule out returning to Japan to wrestle although saying she was certain it would not be for a women’s company.

.@YukaSakazaki: "…I think I need to leave TJPW and go to a different stage. If I do it in Japan, it might interfere with the image of TJPW, so I wanted to continue wrestling overseas where it does not interfere with the image of TJPW." [2/2]#tjpw
