During her training, she had four open sparring sessions with Akira in the ring before the start of a competition, which was more than she expected, but it turned out to be a positive experience.

"The day before her debut, someone posted on social media that Yuria had been doing gravure modeling. It seems they were introducing her with good intentions."

She had no intention of hiding the fact that she had been in the entertainment industry, but it was no longer possible to start from scratch as a professional wrestler. Prejudice was inevitable. Some people even deliberately called her by her stage name from her gravure days. They were probably trying to mock her "dark history."

>"But I did gravure modeling because I liked it, so I didn't really mind when people said things about those days (laughs). And there weren't many haters like that, surprisingly. I think it was because I did a lot of open sparring that people knew I had been training hard."

Hime and Akira, who debuted just one day apart, are so conscious of each other that they even got into a fight after a public sparring session. "I absolutely don't want to lose," says Hime. According to the staff, "We're always fighting, but we're always together."

Akira's first victory was against Hime, and Hime's first victory was also against Akira. The match that Hime won was the deciding match for the single league "5STAR GP". Although she lost all of her league matches, the seven consecutive single matches against her seniors was a valuable experience.

After being invited by her opponent Saya Iida, she joined the unit "STARS." After the league matches, she won consecutive tag matches and announced her challenge for the rookie champion Future of Stardom. The title match will be held at Korakuen Hall on September 10th. The champion is from Tochigi Prefecture, the same prefecture as Hime.
