Misaki Ohata

Misaki Oishi (大石 美咲, Ōishi Misaki; born January 5, 1989), better known by her maiden name Misaki Ohata (大畠 美咲, Ōhata Misaki), is a Japanese retired professional wrestler. She is best known for her work while signed to the Zabun production company and its two promotions; Pro Wrestling Wave and Osaka Joshi Pro Wrestling. She is a former one-time Wave Single Champion and a three-time Wave Tag Team Champion. She also works behind the scenes as Zabun's human resources director. She also made regular appearances for Michinoku Pro Wrestling, where she performed under a mask and the ring name Yapper Man #3 (ヤッペーマン3号, Yappēman San Gō). In the past, she has also made appearances for American promotion Shimmer Women Athletes, where she is a former Shimmer Tag Team Champion.

In January 2006, Ohata relocated from her hometown of Sendai to Tokyo, in order to begin training professional wrestling under Mariko Yoshida at the dojo of the JDStar promotion. On October 25, 2006, Ohata passed an audition held in front of Yoshida, JDStar owner Rossy Ogawa and booker Daisuke Kobayashi and graduated from the dojo, eventually becoming the dojo's final graduate. She made her professional wrestling debut on December 10, 2006, facing Hiroyo Matsumoto in a losing effort. Ohata's career started with a losing streak, typical for a rookie in Japanese professional wrestling, which ended on April 30, 2007, when she defeated Kaori Ohki. On June 18, JDStar, which had recently been battling financial difficulties, announced that Ohata would be transferring over to Mariko Yoshida's Ibuki promotion following the July 16 event, which would also turn out to be JDStar's final event.

In Ibuki, which had the goal of introducing the next generation of joshi stars to the world of professional wrestling, Ohata underwent further training under Yoshida alongside the likes of Hiroyo Matsumoto, Ray and Tomoka Nakagawa, while also forming the tag team Seven Star Sisters (3S) with Matsumoto. During late 2007 and early 2008, Ohata also began making appearances for various independent promotions, including Ice Ribbon, JWP Joshi Puroresu, Oz Academy, Pro Wrestling Wave and Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling. In July 2008, Ohata represented Ibuki at the Japan Expo in France.

On May 31, 2009, Ohata defeated Dash Chisako at Ibuki #29 to become the number one contender to the JWP Junior and Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championships. Later that same day, Ohata defeated Hiroyo Matsumoto to win the titles. On July 12, Ohata made her first successful title defense, defeating Io Shirai at Ibuki #30. On November 8 at Ibuki #32, Ohata unsuccessfully challenged Emi Sakura for Ice Ribbon's ICE×60 Championship. On December 20, Ohata lost the JWP Junior and Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championships to Ryo Mizunami at a Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling event. In early 2010, Ibuki ceased its operations, after which Ohara began working as a freelancer on the Japanese independent circuit. However, until August 2012 she remained affiliated with Ibuki's production company, S Ovation, through which she, Hiroyo Matsumoto and Tomoka Nakagawa produced their own independent events under the banner of "Joshi 4 Hope".

After only making few appearances per year for Pro Wrestling Wave since 2007, Ohata began working for the promotion more regularly in late 2009. On December 23, 2009, Ohata teamed with Moeka Haruhi to defeat Io and Mio, the Shirai sisters, for the TLW World Young Women's Tag Team Championship. They would hold the title for six months, before losing it to Bambi and Basara on July 4, 2010. Having worked her entire career as a cute babyface, January 2011 saw Ohata undergo a character overhaul, when she turned heel and came together with Bambi, Hiren and Yumi Ohka to form the Black Wave stable. On February 14, the group was renamed Black Dahlia, after the 1947 murder case, with Ohata positioned as the de facto leader. In July, Ohata made it to the finals of the Catch the Wave tournament, before losing to Kana. During the next few months, Black Dahlia was joined by Ayako Hamada, Cherry, and Hanako Nakamori, with Apple Miyuki, A★YU★MI, Kyoko Kimura, Moeka Haruhi, and Nagisa Nozaki making one-time appearances as members of the stable. On September 4, Ohata teamed with Mio Shirai in the Dual Shock Wave 2011 tournament, which was used to determine the first ever Wave Tag Team Champions, but the team, billed as "Plus Minus 0", was eliminated in their first round match by Gami and Tomoka Nakagawa. After the conclusion of the tournament, Ohata and Shirai received the first shot at the new champions, Ayumi Kurihara and Kana, but were defeated in their title match on December 11. On April 30, 2012, Ohata and Black Dahlia stablemate Hanako Nakamori were put in a match to determine the new Wave Tag Team Champions, there they were, however, defeated by the team of Gami and Tomoka Nakagawa. On May 4, Ohata entered the 2012 Catch the Wave tournament, where she wrestled in a round-robin block made up of members of Black Dahlia. After wins over Hanako Nakamori and Cherry and a loss against Tsukasa Fujimoto, Ohata was defeated by Yumi Ohka on June 17 and, as a result, failed to advance from her block. However, on July 1, Ohata defeated eleven other eliminated competitors in a battle royal to earn her way back into the semifinals of the tournament. On July 16, Ohata was eliminated from the tournament in the semifinals by Ryo Mizunami.

On July 27, Black Dahlia and rival group White Tails wrestled to a draw in a five-on-five gauntlet match, from which Ohata was eliminated after wrestling Mio Shirai to a ten-minute time limit draw. Afterwards, Ohata blamed her stablemates in the match, specifically Yumi Ohka, for Black Dahlia not winning the match, noting that they were all in their thirties. She then recruited the 24-year-old Mio Shirai to the stable; Shirai, however, announced that she would also remain a member of White Tails. The two groups then agreed that the stable which would manage to draw fewer people to their self-produced Wave event, which would take place August 7 and 8, would disband. The Black Dahlia event was headlined by an eight-woman tag team match between the stable's two generations. In the match, Ohata teamed with Apple Miyuki, Hanako Nakamori and Mio Shirai against Ohka, Ayako Hamada, Bambi and Cherry, pinning Ohka for the win after hitting her with the stable's signature whip. White Tails ended up winning the battle for attendance 201–191, forcing Black Dahlia to disband.

Ohata and Yumi Ohka faced off on August 26 at Wave's fifth anniversary event in a singles match, which was won by Ohata. Following the win, Ohata announced that she had signed with the Zabun production company, effectively making Pro Wrestling Wave her new home promotion and officially ending her freelancing days. On September 25, Ohata entered the 2012 Dual Shock Wave tournament with her handpicked partner Tsukasa Fujimoto, with the two wrestling Ayako Hamada and Kana to a draw in their opening round-robin match. After wins over Apple Miyuki and Kyusei Ninja Ranmaru and Wave Tag Team Champions Gami and Tomoka Nakagawa, Ohata and Fujimoto finished their round-robin block with five points, winning their block and advancing to the finals of the tournament. On November 16, Ohata and Fujimoto defeated Shuu Shibutani and Syuri to win the 2012 Dual Shock Wave and earn a shot at the Wave Tag Team Championship. On November 27, Ohata and Fujimoto defeated Gami and Tomoka Nakagawa to win the Wave Tag Team Championship. Ohata and Fujimoto made their first successful title defense on December 16 against 1st Impact (Makoto and Moeka Haruhi). Later that same day, Ohata earned the fourth and final spot in the upcoming Wave Single Championship tournament, after finishing two points ahead of Mio Shirai at the end of the Zan-1 tournament, a three-round tournament, which included a battle royal, a rock-paper-scissors round and a fan vote. Ohata's and Fujimoto's second successful title defense took place on December 23, when they defeated Naniwa☆Bonjo Venus (Apple Miyuki and Kyusei Ninja Ranmaru). Ohata and Fujimoto made their third successful title defense on January 4, 2013, when they wrestled Shidarezakura (Hikaru Shida and Yumi Ohka) to a thirty-minute time limit draw. On February 17, Ohata was eliminated from the Wave Single Championship tournament in her first round match by Yumi Ohka. On April 21, Ohata and Fujimoto lost the Wave Tag Team Championship to Kana and Mio Shirai in their fourth title defense.

From May 6 to June 19, Ohata took part in the round-robin portion of the 2013 Catch the Wave, finishing with a record of two wins, two draws and two losses. On June 28, Ohata defeated Kagetsu and Ryo Mizunami in a three-way playoff match to claim third place in her block and advance to the knockout stage of the tournament. On July 15, Ohata first defeated Tomoka Nakagawa in the first round, then Yuu Yamagata in the semifinals and finally JWP Joshi Puroresu representative and JWP Openweight Champion Arisa Nakajima in the finals to win the 2013 Catch the Wave. As a result of the win, Ohata became the number one contender to the Wave Single Championship, held by rival Yumi Ohka. Ohata received her title shot on August 25, but was defeated by Ohka. Also in August, Ohata was promoted to the backstage role of a human resources director within Zabun. Afterwards, Ohata reunited with Mio Shirai under the team name "Plus Minus Zero 2013" for the 2013 Dual Shock Wave. However, after the team lost three of their first four matches, they were, per pre-tournament stipulations, instantly eliminated and not allowed to finish the tournament. Despite their quick elimination, Ohata and Shirai were placed in a number one contenders match to determine who would get to challenge for the Wave Tag Team Championship after the tournament winners, and on October 30, defeated Muscle Venus (Hikaru Shida and Tsukasa Fujimoto) to earn the title shot. Ohata and Shirai received their title shot on November 9, but were defeated by the defending champions, Las Aventureras (Ayako Hamada and Yuu Yamagata).
