>Uehara: I want people to immediately think of “Wakana Uehara” when they hear “competitive eater and pro-wrestler.” I also want to grow my name recognition. Right now, I have around 100,000 followers across social media, but I want to double that to 200,000 within the next year. Numbers aren’t everything, but the more people who see me, the more chances I’ll have.
>I heard you’ve been wrestling internationally too?
>Uehara: Yes, I had matches in Seattle and Las Vegas this year. My overseas fanbase is slowly growing, and it makes me so happy. I never really thought about going abroad before, but since I started wrestling, I’ve become more aware of the world. I truly believe “pro-wrestling is full of dreams.”
>From the start, you’ve aimed for international success, haven’t you?
>Uehara: Being able to wrestle overseas now is thanks to the people in my wrestling promotion and my seniors. I’m really grateful. I want to have even more matches abroad, and I’d love to take on competitive eating events overseas too. I’m also studying English, but both competitive eating and wrestling can transcend language barriers. Through videos, I want to gain even more fans worldwide.
>Finally, tell us about your plans as you head into your 30s.
>Uehara: As long as my body allows it, I want to keep wrestling. It’s a place where you can stay active regardless of age, and as long as people support me, I believe I can keep chasing my dreams. I want to continue being true to myself, having fun, and working hard.
