History:  Born in Nagoya, Japan, an offspring of an American-turned Japanese Nationalist mother and a Japanese father, Sakie Hori had always been an active person, constantly running, playing, and engaging in various physical activities. It was in her early teens that she discovered pro wrestling, fascinated by the physicality of the sport, as well as the flashy outfits and crowd support. Signing up for her high school wrestling team, Sakie was able to make the cut and spent four years learning a traditional wrestling style.

Upon graduation, she signed up for a professional wrestling school, spending a few months getting basic training, learning and adding some old school style moves to her moveset, while looking to find somewhere she could ply her new craft. It was then she learned of a rising, all womens, wrestling promotion, only a couple years old and still expanding. With help from her trainers, she got in contact with an agent from the promotion, named Wrestle Angels, and at the age of 18 found her self signing a contract with them. When suggested she develop a ring name and some kind of gimmick to entice fan attention.

Dying her hair pink, and donning a flashy (and skimpy) outfit, all that was left was picking the name. Drawing off her love of her cats, she focused on her favorite one, a Japanese Bobtail cat named Teddy, who had to be put down from old age a few years earlier. In tribute, she named her wrestling persona after him, as well as adding some catlike mannerisms in her movements and promos, thus becoming: Teddy Cat Hori!

Over the next couple years with Wrestle Angels, Teddy Cat tried hard, but with her limited moveset, she never really achieved much, every victory over the likes of a Cutie Kanai, Anny Beach, Riyu Kikuchi, Tomomi Wantanabe or Chigusa Yuuki, was met with a defeat by higher level opponents such as Megumi Mutoh, Toshimi Minami, Bomber Kishima, Mighty Yukiko, and Dark Star Chaos. Even a surprising victory over Blade Uehara, while impressive, didn’t do much for her career.

Between a lack of major success, and slowly dwindling fan support, and her relationship with her long time boyfriend culminating in his proposal of marriage, and his request she leave wrestling before she got hurt.  Teddy finally decided to end her career after a tag match loss to Eclipse. Retiring at 20 years old, she left Wrestle Angels without getting a single title match.

Four years passed by. She got married, and got a new job as a fitness trainer at a gym in the meantime, staying fit over time and helping others stay or get in shape. Over time however, Sakie felt ...tired. She began to feel as if she was in a rut, and there wasn’t anything exciting going on in her life. Too much of the same old routine had left her bored.  Just to make things worse for her, she found out that her husband, who had tried to get her to forget her fondness for the ring, had been cheating on her, leading to a divorce. Finding herself more and more depressed, she spent her nights at home, with only her beloved cats for company.

One night, as she was channel surfing, when to her surprise, she came across a channel showing womens wrestling, and one of the wrestlers was none other than her former Wrestle Angels opponent, Chigusa Yuuki. Having heard that Wrestle Angels had gone bankrupt and went out of business, which only added to her depression, she honestly  thought to see the Eclipse member again. While she didn’t recognise her opponent, a woman named Taylor Parker, the cage match they were involved in quickly took her attention, the excellent match sparking the old rush, the old feeling of excitement she used to get when she was in the ring. After the match ended, Sakie looked up everything she could about this new company, AFW, that had started soon after Wrestle Angels did, and while WA had fallen, the AFW had risen to global status in a shockingly short amount of time, and many of her former friends and opponents had joined up.

Realizing that pro wrestling, which had been absent from her life for so long, was exactly what she needed to make herself feel better, Sakie went to work, working out in the gym more, lifting weights, and entering another wrestling school to retrain herself. Over the next two years, she trained, and worked. Already taller her younger wrestling days, she added on a bit more muscle, and while she kept her old school training of classic grapples and small amounts of top rope work, she learned and added new power moves into her arsenal.

Finally, excited, retrained, and eager to compete, she contacted some of her old Wrestling Angel friends, who used their contacts to arrange her a meeting with AFW talent scouts. Luckily for her, they were always open to hiring former Wrestle Angel talent, and signed her to a contract. Now, having sold her old home and moved (with her cats) to a small apartment in Tokyo, Teddy-Cat Hori has returned, and is eager to prove herself once again.


Fun Facts:
She loves cats, owning 3 of them currently, and having owned several others in her youth, and adapting some cat movements and mannerisms in the ring as a gimmick, even imitating purring and adding “nya” at the end of sentences when in character. When not on camera or around fans, she leaves it out.

Her ex-husband is a sore subject for her, and not one she enjoys talking about.
During her Wrestle Angel days, she had no real special moves, and was small, at 5’2 and only 120 pounds. In the 6 years since those days however, she has managed, to her surprise, grow 3 inches, and in the interm, added 18 pounds onto herself, her retraining improving her strength, allowing her mostly maintain her sleek appearance, while having a core of steel strength hidden underneath.

Never really an overly modest person, Teddy has no issues with showing her body off, hence her skimpy outfit, and upon learning that this AFW Friction League had such things called Hentai Matches, became interested in trying a few, though she intends to put the wrestling first.
