Mio Shirai Biography

Mio Shirai is one of the most popular and richest Professional Wrestler who was born on February 14, 1988 in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The Shirai sisters, along with Kana, formed Triple Tails, defeating Ayumi, Hikaru Shida, and Yoshiko Yamaura in their first match at a NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling competition. The Shirais were awarded a shot at Tamura and Kurihara’s NEO Tag Team Championship, but they were defeated by the current champions. Triple Tails won again on August 29 when it defeated Hikaru Shida, Asami Kawasaki and Nagisa Nazaki in a six woman tag team match. Shirai, who was known as Kitzune Nanoko in the ring, made her AAA debut in Puebla (Mexico) on October 18, 2010. She teamed up with Alissa flash to defeat Cynthia Moreno and Esther Moreno. Both Shirais wore cat-like masks to Mexico. Shirai was renamed Kaguya on October 31st, and her debuting little sister Oyuki was given the ring title Oyuki. Kaguya, Oyuki and Yuriko teamed up with Yuriko for their first match. They were defeated by Cynthia Moreno and Gato Eveready in a six-person tag match. Kaguya, Oyuki and their AAA stay made them associates with the La Legion Extranjera stable (Foreign Legion). Kaguya, Oyuki and Mari Apache defeated Faby in a tag-team match on November 7. They then stole Faby’s AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship belts and Mari’s AAA Reina de Reinas Championship buckles. In a six-woman tag match, Cynthia Moreno and the Apaches defeated Kaguya and Oyuki as well as Sexy Star. Kaguya Oyuki, Jennifer Blake and Moreno defeated the Apaches in a six-woman tag team match. This would be Oyuki and Kaguya’s last AAA appearance. The storyline with the Apaches was dropped without a conclusion. Triple Tails, a new unit of Pro Wrestling Wave, made its debut on December 19 against Cherry, Gami, and Tomoka Nakagawa at the six-woman tag team main show.

In 2008, Shirai appeared with fellow wrestlers Kayo Noumi and Takako Inoue in The Brute Educational Institution (野獣学園 , Yajū Gakuen) , a video with lesbian discipline and catfight themes, released by Attack Zone, a label of Attackers. In September 2012, Shirai released a gravure DVD titled Iroha Kitsune / Murasaki Kaminari Mio (いろは狐／紫雷美央 ) . On December 8, 2012, Shirai and Kana released another DVD with a similar theme, titled Sadistic Tails.

Shirai, working with a nose protector, returned to the ring on May 29 at a Pro Wrestling Wave event, losing to Syuri in her first round-robin match in the 2012 Catch the Wave tournament. On June 8, in her second match in the tournament, Shirai defeated Ayumi Kurihara, and in doing so also won DDT Pro-Wrestling’s Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship. Two days later, Shirai lost the title to Hiroyo Matsumoto in the first round of a tournament to determine the number one contender to the Oz Academy Openweight Championship. On June 22, Shirai returned to WNC, when she teamed with Makoto in a tag team match, where they defeated Kana and Syuri. In early July, Shirai and Kana took part in the 2012 Japan Expo in Paris, France.

On July 27 at a Pro Wrestling Wave event, White Tails and Black Dahlia wrestled to a draw in a five-on-five gauntlet match, from which Shirai was eliminated after wrestling Black Dahlia leader Misaki Ohata to a ten-minute time limit draw. Afterwards, Shirai agreed to join Black Dahlia at the request of Ohata, who was trying to bring down the average age of her group, but also wanted to 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. Shirai performed on both the Black Dahlia and the White Tails event and afterwards remained with White Tails, which won the battle for attendance 201-191, forcing Black Dahlia to disband. Also in August, Shirai returned to Ice Ribbon. After remaining undefeated for the entire month, scoring singles victories over Riho and Hamuko Hoshi and a tag team victory over Hikaru Shida, Shirai was named the number one contender to Shida’s ICE×60 Championship, Ice Ribbon’s top title.
