>"In junior high school, I did middle-distance running, from 400m to 1500m. In high school, there weren't many members on the soccer team, so I joined in on weight training, passed the ball, and ran around a lot."
>"The first time I went to watch professional wrestling was at the DRAGONGATE Utsunomiya event in May 2018. At the time, it wasn't my own choice, but rather my parents', who are pro wrestling fans (laughs). I'd occasionally watched pro wrestling on YouTube and found it intimidating, but seeing it live was really fun."
>"The truth is, before I became a Stardom trainee, it was hard commuting from Tochigi, but my parents would pick me up at the station and I managed to get by... I like being photographed, but I was aiming for a sexy look without crossing the line by wearing pretty costumes. In fact, I started kickboxing after graduating from high school and have been going to practice recently."
>"I didn't want people to think that I chose wrestling to get publicity, like, 'I came to wrestling because I wasn't successful in gravure modeling.' I simply wanted to become a professional wrestler, so I wanted to be seen as Yuria the professional wrestler, not as a gravure idol."
>"My parents were very against it. It was the first time they had ever opposed me because of what Yuria had done. So, I actually thought about it for a while and considered not doing pro wrestling at all. But Stardom had the kind of hardcore pro wrestling that I wanted to do... so I auditioned."
>"The menu is designed by AI. I input my ideal appearance and a photo of myself now, and it says things like, 'This part seems weak, so let's focus on that,' or 'Let's make this kind of menu.' At first, the menu was a little light, so I sent in more and more requests and made it more strict."
