Professional wrestling career

[edit]

Ice Ribbon (2012–2020)

[edit]
Sera in July 2016

Sera was trained by Tsukasa Fujimoto and made her debut on November 10, 2012, at the Ice Ribbon dojo under the ring name Risa Sera, defeated by Hamuko Hoshi.[9] A half of her co-actors quit wrestling early, but she, 235 and Rutsuko Yamaguchi (retired in 2014 due to knee injury) remained to be on the roster.

On January 4, 2014, Sera teamed up with Maki Narumiya[10] and named their tag team ".STAP".[11] They defeated Tsukushi and Hiragi Kurumi at the Korakuen Hall event on March 30 to become the International Ribbon Tag Team Champions.[12] Until the next year, they successfully retained the championship for nine times. The team was dissolved as Narumiya left Ice Ribbon by March 31, 2015. They were defeated in a hardcore tag match against Isami Kodaka and Yuko Miyamoto in their last match,[13] then Sera challenged Narumiya to a hardcore tag match. They had the match on May 4 and Sera's team were defeated.[14] Sera demanded an even harder rematch with light tubes, but this was declined by management of Ice Ribbon, because it would be deviating from the main concept of the promotion. Sera declared that she would boycott the next Korakuen Hall event on June 24,[15][16] but eventually she held her own event there after Ice Ribbon's event for just one match called "Human Hair Death Match" (人毛デスマッチ) and made peace with Narumiya after being defeated again.[17]

Since then, Sera held two "Death Match" events collaborating with Ice Ribbon. They were made of fun matches by Ice Ribbon's wrestlers and really hardcore matches including ladders, barbed wires and light tubes by Sera, so practically she made the promotion compromise on the matter.
