Yuria Tauchi was born in Anjō on March 22, 1988. She began her journey through dancing at the age of 3 and soon became an experienced dance instructor, choreographer, and idol before she debuted in professional wrestling in 2016.

Tauchi began dancing at the age of three, and eventually became a dance instructor in 2012. She joined the underground idol group known as Katamomi Joshi, and was active with them until April 2015. In interviews, she has stated that she struggled a lot in the group and would argue with management, even going home crying most days. She then joined the group Infom@te, who performed before and during professional wrestling shows for the Actwres girl'Z promotion.

Gaining some popularity as an idol and using her existing martial arts knowledge, Tauchi began training to wrestle for the promotion under Mayu Iwatani in 2016; she made her debut under the ring name Tam Nakano (中野 たむ, Nakano Tamu) in July, losing to Saori Anou. Nakano continued to regularly compete in Actwres girl'Z until June 2017, when she announced she would be leaving the promotion to become a freelancer. Nakano's first match as a freelancer took place 2 days later, when she and Manami Katsu defeated Miss Koharu and Miss Mongol.

Nakano appeared at the World Wonder Ring Stardom show in Korakuen Hall on July 16, 2017, and announced her intentions to compete in the 2017 5★STAR GP. On August 13, Nakano qualified for the tournament after defeating Natsuko Tora. Nakano finished the tournament with 1 win and two points, unable to advance to the finals.

On September 9, Nakano turned heel for the first time in her career, joining the villainous Oedo Tai faction. In October, Nakano suffered an injury and was unable to compete, but continued to appear with Oedo Tai as a manager, and introduced her mascot, a stuffed panda known as Producer P. On November 1, Nakano officially signed with the promotion. On January 21, 2018, as a result of being the last person eliminated in a special Queen's Quest vs Oedo Tai gauntlet match, Nakano was kicked out of Oedo Tai.
