[Women's Pro Wrestling] Starlight Kid "was planning to debut without makeup" - Stardom masked wrestler talks about her 10 years since debut
https://sportiva.shueisha.co.jp/clm/othersports/fight/2025/09/30/_10/--On May 27th, 2018, before she went overseas, you faced Io Shirai (now Iyo Sky/affiliated with WWE).
>Kid: That was the first time I did a moonsault press from the second corner. After all, it was my first and last singles match with Io, so I wanted to leave some kind of mark. Up until then, I had been using the "standing moonsault," but I thought, "If I'm going to show it off for the first time, this is the place!"--Iyo is also well known for his moonsault press.
>Kid: I wasn't anywhere near as good as Io-san, but I tried to give it my all. By the way, the "Kicchan Bomb" that I use is a move that Io-san taught me. She said, "I think this move would suit Kid." I think I first showed off that move in my match with Iyo-san.>At the time, Io was someone far removed from me. Before she went to the US, she held the Wonder Championship. When I think about wearing that belt, I really feel like I've grown as a wrestler. I wonder what would happen if I were to face Io, who has now become a superstar...that would be a dream come true.-Do you have any thoughts about trying your hand at overseas?
>Kid: No (laughs). I'm a "greedy white tiger," but I'm not thinking about going overseas, and I have a strong desire to "do my best at Stardom."
