TOMOKA NAKAGAWA ADDED TO ALL APRIL EVENTS!SHIMMER - WOMEN ATHLETES is proud announce the addition of TOMOKA NAKAGAWA to all of our April events! She will be a part of SHIMMER 53 on April 6th as part of WrestleCon at the Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus, NJ, as well as SHIMMER 54-57 on April 13th & 14th at the Berwyn Eagles Club in Berwyn, IL! Tomoka Nakagawa is one of the visiting joshi athletes who has seen the most ring time in SHIMMER thus far. She made her SHIMMER debut in early 2010 as part of the initial Joshi 4 Hope entourage, and immediately made an impression with an amazing match against rival Ayumi Kurihara. Nakagawa's nefarious ways quickly caught everyone's attention, including Daizee Haze. The two soon formed a tag team, and were able to briefly hold the SHIMMER Tag Team Championship, capturing the titles at SHIMMER 40 from Hiroyo Matsumoto & Misaki Ohata. Nakagawa's willingness to break rules, manipulate referees, spit water into the eyes of her opponents, and unleash a wide variety of devastating kicks have made her one of the most feared competitors on the roster. Tomoka's most recent tag team partner in SHIMMER competition is " Rate Tank" Kellie Skater. The two formed a friendship during one of Skater's tours of Japan, resulting in the team known as the "Global Green Gangstas" or "3G." They successfully entered the SHIMMER tag team ranks at SHIMMER 52, and intend to continue as a global (and green) tag team force during the month of April!

Yes! Indeed; I am very happy to see that Tomoka will be back again. She's my favorite Joshi star of them all.
I'm very curious to see who the new Joshi will be. I'm hoping for Hikaru Shida myself, or Makoto.
I'm a little concerned that I haven't seen MsChif added yet. Once I do; I can honestly say that this is the best roster for a SHIMMER weekend i could have hoped for. Barring of course some exciting potential debuts (I.e. Saturyne).

MsChif won't be at WrestleCon, so they're getting those announcements out of the way first.

She had a non-wrestling related schedule conflict and can only make Sunday now, unfortunately.

First one day only talent since Hailey Hatred in October 2011. At least she'll be there on the Sunday, rather than not at all.

I met Yamagata on my Tokyo trip in 2001 when she was with Arsion. Then I saw her work again in 2008 on my second trip. She's come a long way from her early days in the sport.

Yamagata is interesting because there's not a lot of her on the video sites, especially not many singles matches. Hopefully some of her stuff materialises so I can get familiar with her before Berwyn, like I did with Mizunami last time.
