>[Stardom] Ema Maishima and Kikyo Furusawa make their debut: "They've become wrestlers who have never been in Stardom before"
>Two newcomers to the women's professional wrestling outfit Stardom made a dazzling debut at the event held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo on the 21st.
>In the first match, newcomer Ema Maishima faced off against current Artist & STRONG Women's Champion AZM. She is 21 years old and from Kashiwara, Osaka, and has no athletic background, but she did serve in the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force for two years. She made the most of her physical strength and hung on, performing a splendid swan dive body attack that thrilled the crowd. After that, she was hit with a powerful drop kick and fell to the ring, but she fought her way back up. In the end, she was shown the difference in rank by her senior and was given a three-count with Azumi Sushi. After the match, she expressed her enthusiasm, saying, "I want to use my speed to become a high flyer in the future."
>In the second match, another newcomer, Kikyo Furusawa, made her debut against Goddess Champion Hanan. She is 21 years old and hails from Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka, and her only athletic experience was playing tennis in middle school. However, she overwhelmed the crowd with her joint locks from the start of the match. She got up again and again with tenacity and attempted a modified Manji hold. However, she was congratulated by her senior for her debut with a powerful reverse crab hold, resulting in a three-count.
>After the match, Kikyo said, "I want to become a player like no other in Stardom." She also made her debut on the same day as Maishima, but said, "I feel a big difference between us because she has high physical abilities and a history in the Self-Defense Forces, but I want to charm everyone with a charm that Ema doesn't have."
