Moka Miyamoto (宮本もか, Miyamoto Moka) (born March 19, 1999) is a Japanese professional wrestler and former karateka signed to Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling (TJPW). She is also known for her work in the Japanese independent scene.[3]

Early life

[edit]

Miyamoto is a former Shotokan karateka, sport in which she has obtained one Dan.[4] In university, her major was Japanese culture, reason why her ring attire mainly features traditional Japanese costumes. She graduated in March 2021.[5]

At TJPW All Rise '23 on October 27, 2023, she teamed up with Juria Nagano to unsuccessfully challenge Free WiFi (Hikari Noa and Nao Kakuta) for the Princess Tag Team Championship.[7]

During her time in the promotion, she competed in various signature events. In the Tokyo Princess Cup, she made her first appearance at the 2021 edition where she fell short to Raku in the first rounds.[8] At the 2022 edition of the tournament, she fell short to Pom Harajuku in the first rounds.[9] At the 2023 edition, Miyamoto defeated Hyper Misao in the first rounds then fell short to Miyu Yamashita in the second ones.[10] At the 2024 edition of the event, she fell short to Mizuki in the first rounds.[11]

Japanese independent scene (2021–present)

[edit]

Due to TJPW being a CyberFight underbrand, Miyamoto often competed in cross-over events held by its satellite promotions as a joshi talent. At CyberFight Festival 2021, an event promoted by TJPW, DDT and Noah on June 6, 2021, Miyamoto teamed up with Arisu Endo, Haruna Neko and BeeStar (Mirai Maiumi and Suzume) to defeat Kaya Toribami, Mahiro Kiryu, Nao Kakuta, Pom Harajuku and Raku.[17] One year later at CyberFight Festival 2022, she teamed up with Arisu Endo, Kaya Toribami, Mahiro Kiryu and Nao Kakuta to defeat Haruna Neko, Hyper Misao, Pom Harajuku, Yuki Aino and Yuuri.[18]

At Ultimate Party 2023, an event promoted by DDT Pro-Wrestling, Miyamoto teamed up with Yuki Arai and Shino Suzuki to defeat Daisy Monkey (Suzume and Arisu Endo) and Wakana Uehara.[19]
