>>6115She has an interesting background as well.
She was gangraped when she was back in school. Dropped out and went full on shut-in afterwards.
Then one day she saw pro-wrestling on TV and got the idea in her head that she wanted to do that. Saw a company offering try-outs so she ran away from home and ended up living under the roof of the guy who started the company.
She was the worst prospect out of the new students but she stuck with it. Paid her dues. Continued to improve. And now she's largely seen as one of the best.
Rossy, the guy who started Stardom, was fired last year for poaching talent to start his new company (he knew the writing was on the wall). Mayu wanted to go with him but didn't because she had a year on her contract and they made a movie about her life story so she stayed on to promote it.
She connects well because, despite being very good, she is also personally quite clumsy, a bit goofy, and is prone to things like getting lost in new cities. WWE had expressed interest in her but she's not really interested in leaving Japan because she has her apartment, her dogs, her life, and is happy with that.
