Professional wrestling style and persona

[edit]

Misao's character is that of a superhero who claims to be "protecting love and peace" in TJPW, and uses underhanded tactics to get ahead in her matches. She typically carries cold spray which she uses to incapacitate her opponents. Her character was inspired by Western comic books, and she has compared it to Catwoman as portrayed in Batman Returns. During her time in Neo Biishiki-gun, she started to use a lifting double underhook facebuster called Vanitas as her finisher.[4]

Early life

Background

Hyper Misao was born on January 3, 1990, in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. She is billed at a height of 164 cm (5 ft 5 in). Her wrestling character draws significant influence from Western comic books, particularly superheroes, with observers noting similarities to Catwoman as portrayed in Batman Returns due to her masked, agile, and mysterious persona. Her real name is not publicly disclosed beyond her ring name Hyper Misao, and no verified information exists regarding her formal education or any pre-2015 career activities. She entered professional wrestling in 2015.

Professional wrestling career

Debut and early years

Hyper Misao made her professional wrestling debut on February 28, 2015, at Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling's Shinjuku Dash event held at Shinjuku FACE in front of 432 fans. She teamed with fellow rookie Mizuho against Chikage Kiba and Kanna in the opening match, but her team lost when Kanna pinned her with the Ohka after 7:13 minutes. Performing under the ring name Hyper Misao, she wore an eye mask and green tracksuit while declaring her intent to protect peace and love in Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling. She competed regularly in TJPW events from 2015 onward, gaining experience through various tag team and multi-person bouts during her initial years in the promotion. Early in her career she was also known under the ring names Misao and Akemi Daredasore. In 2016 she participated in a 13-woman battle royal presented by TJPW at DDT's Judgement 2016: DDT 19th Anniversary event on March 21. She also appeared at DDT's Ryōgoku Peter Pan 2016 on August 28 in a TJPW offer match, teaming with Shoko Nakajima and Yuu against Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki, and Akane Miura in a six-woman tag where her team was defeated after Yamashita pinned her with the Attitude Adjustment at 8:56. Her superhero-themed Hyper Misao persona became her primary gimmick during these formative years.

Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling tenure

Hyper Misao has maintained a long-term affiliation with Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling since 2015, establishing herself as a consistent presence in the promotion. She was a member of the Neo Biishiki-gun stable, serving in the entourage of Sakisama during her unmasked "Misao" phase before reverting to her Hyper Misao superhero gimmick. As part of Neo Biishiki-gun, she won the Princess Tag Team Championship with Sakisama on June 8, 2019, holding the titles for 148 days until November 3, 2019. In 2022, she received a high-profile championship opportunity when she challenged Shoko Nakajima for the Princess of Princess Championship at Yes! Wonderland 2022 on May 3, though she was unsuccessful in defeating the champion. Earlier that year, on April 17 during the TJPW Spring Tour '22, she participated in a notable 20-on-1 handicap match against Marika Kobashi as part of the wrestler's graduation commemoration event, with the team of twenty securing the victory. She later formed the tag team Kyoraku Kyomei with Shoko Nakajima and won the Princess Tag Team Championship on March 16, 2025, at Grand Princess '25, holding the titles for 188 days until September 20, 2025. Hyper Misao remains an active roster member in Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling, continuing to compete regularly. She has also branched into event production with her own HYPE! shows, including HYPE! on May 25, 2023, HYPE! 2 on April 19, 2024, and HYPE!3 (Return) on August 5, 2025, all at Kitazawa Town Hall.

Cross-promotions and independent productions

Hyper Misao has participated in various cross-promotional events outside her primary Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling affiliation, including regular appearances with DDT Pro-Wrestling and other CyberFight brands. She competed in notable DDT matches such as the DDT Tokyo Dome Cup Eight Man Tag Team Gauntlet at Rojo Pro Wrestling in Tokyo Dome Returns on October 31, 2021, where her Tokyo Joshi Pro team faced The 37KAMIINA in a chaotic encounter involving props and interference before she was pinned. On February 15, 2022, she teamed with Mecha Mummy to win the SSS Cup Special Gauntlet Tag Match at Hanayori Neppa Totonou In The Middle Of Shinjuku, surviving multiple teams to claim the final victory and a sauna voucher prize. Since 2021, Hyper Misao has appeared in CyberFight multi-promotion events involving Pro Wrestling Noah, including CyberFight Festival showcases that featured talent from DDT, TJPW, and Noah. She made her international debut on November 13, 2022, at Pro-Wrestling: EVE's Wrestle Queendom 5 in London, where she competed across both nights, including a tag team title challenge and a singles victory over Nightshade using a bicycle and chair spots. In independent productions, Hyper Misao produced her own show HYPE! on May 25, 2023, at Kitazawa Town Hall, which featured creative segments like a "Hyper Misao II" audition battle royal and a time-freezing storyline in the main event. She followed with the sequel HYPE! 2 on April 19, 2024, at the same venue.

Character and gimmick

Superhero persona

Hyper Misao's superhero persona in Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling casts her as the "hero protecting love and peace," a masked crusader dedicated to noble ideals. Despite these heroic proclamations, she routinely employs underhanded tactics and resorts to any means necessary to win matches, presenting a morally gray character who contrasts her proclaimed values with pragmatic villainy. Her visual design draws from American comics with a cyberpunk, futuristic spandex bodysuit, all self-designed to evoke a bold, transformed identity when masked. A defining trait of her gimmick is the trademark use of cold spray, a freeze spray she carries to every show for emergency incapacitation of opponents, underscoring her willingness to cheat despite her heroic framing. Hyper Misao is further known for lengthy pre-match microphone performances, during which she calls for the microphone to address the audience or opponents before bouts begin. The persona takes direct inspiration from Western comics, specifically Catwoman in Batman Returns, where the character is demure as Selina Kyle but becomes far stronger and more assertive when donning the mask, mirroring Hyper Misao's own shift in demeanor. Earlier in her career, she competed unmasked as simply "Misao" during a stint with Neo Biishiki-gun. During that period, she used the finishing move Vanitas.

In-ring style

Moveset and tactics

Hyper Misao employs a wrestling style classified as technician combined with comedy and gimmick elements, allowing her to blend precise technical maneuvers with humorous and unconventional tactics. This approach enables creative and varied in-ring performances that integrate comedic antics with serious wrestling sequences, often incorporating outsmarting opponents through underhanded or unexpected methods. Her primary finisher is the Vanitas, executed as a lifting double underhook facebuster. Among her signature moves are the I Am A Hero, a diving crossbody attack, the Hero Correction System, applied as a La Campana octopus hold submission, and the HiPami Returns (also known as Dies Iræ), performed as a Final Cut cutter variation. Hyper Misao demonstrates versatility by adapting to hardcore and deathmatch bouts when required, expanding beyond her standard comedic and technical framework to handle more intense match stipulations. She occasionally incorporates cold spray as a tactical prop to support her in-ring strategy.

Championships and accomplishments

Titles and recognitions

Hyper Misao is a two-time Princess Tag Team Champion in Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling. Her first reign came alongside Sakisama when the championship was known as the Tokyo Princess Tag Team Championship. Her second reign is with Shoko Nakajima as the team Kyoraku Kyomei, with the team holding the titles since March 2025. She and Shoko Nakajima won the "Futari wa Princess" Max Heart Tournament in 2025. In individual recognition, Pro Wrestling Illustrated ranked Hyper Misao No. 150 in the PWI Women's 150 for 2022.

Media appearances

Film and television credits

Hyper Misao has accumulated over 100 film and television credits, primarily appearing as herself in live-recorded professional wrestling events and specials produced by Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling (TJPW). These appearances are documented on industry databases and reflect her role as a performer in branded wrestling content rather than scripted acting roles outside the ring. Her credits include numerous TJPW-branded videos and TV mini-series, such as TJPW Prism '24 (2024), the TJPW City Circuit series (2022–2023), and TJPW Perfection (2022). Earlier works feature TJPW Hop! Step (2016), TJPW 5th Tokyo Princess Cup (2018), and the series Tokyo Joshi Pro (2014–2017). She has also appeared in cross-promotional events, including GCW Vs. TJPW (2024) and EVE Wrestle Queendom 5 (2022), along with various TJPW tours and specials spanning 2016 to 2024. The majority of these credits consist of self-performances captured from live events, aligning with her primary profession as a professional wrestler.
