>One night after the shocking turn of events, Maika said, "At first, I didn't like that feminine and brash guy. The only thing I recognized was her magnificent breasts." She laughed, but added, "But when I saw how she came back after breaking her tooth and how she worked so hard to keep it going even when she was alone at Club Venus, I thought, 'This guy's going to do it. We are nothing alike. So I had a gut feeling that if we teamed up, it would be crazy and interesting," she said, explaining why she and Shirakawa decided to work together.
>The only thing they have in common, she said, is that they are both aiming for overseas. When I met Megan (Bayne), I realized how big the world is, and I want to fight in different countries so that more people will know about Stardom. So I am facing the same direction as Shirakawa on that point," she said enthusiastically.
>Since her reign as the organization's highest-ranking champion last December, she has begun to look at Stardom as a whole. At the same time, I have more opportunities to calmly analyze the movements of other groups, both men's and women's, as well as wrestling groups that have thrived in the past, and I have become more aware of foreign countries.
>If we could have rivalry matches like in the past, I think it would be one of the factors that would make women's wrestling as a whole more exciting. There are players like Megan overseas, so I want to find a place in the world where we can compete with Stardom.
