Wrestler Profile

Miu Watanabe

Miu Watanabe is Tokyo Joshi Pro's pocket powerhouse — the pigtailed strongwoman whose giant swings send opponents and camera operators alike into orbit. Her idol-unit sparkle wraps genuine main-event strength: the Up Up Girls singer deadlifts her way through the Princess of Princess division.

Her acclaimed matches against Miyu Yamashita and Mizuki, plus International Princess Championship gold, marked her evolution from tag specialist — with Rika Tatsumi in Daydream — to legitimate ace-in-waiting. American appearances spread the swing's fame.

Joshi's future depends on stars who honor its charm while raising its athletic bar; Watanabe does both nightly. WrestleRanks voters rank her on delight-per-rotation: nobody swings harder.
