Personality: Cute and bubbly, she's known for being a polite and cheerful girl to whoever she encounters and faces in the ring, though she can be overly sensitive, getting sad and apologetic if she feels she's offended or hurt somebody in some way. Getting hurt tends to make her more determined, as opposed to angry, though she gets upset over losses, feeling inadequate when they occur.


Past: Most of Riyu's early life isn't widely known, partly due to it not being interesting, and partly due to her leaving out details in respect of her parents wishes. It is known that she grew up in Tokyo and took part in many athletic activities in her school days. In the wrestling world, she was first noticed at age 16, where she sat front row at a Wrestle Angels show, there to cheer on Mighty Yukiko, who she had been quite a fan of since she first started getting into wrestling a couple years beforehand.

At this show, during a match between Mighty Yukiko and Beauty Ichigaya, Kiyu's fierce cheering for Yukiko angered her rival, with Ichigaya soon attacking the girl, pulling her over the guardrail and throwing her against it repeatedly! Luckily, Riyu was saved by Mighty, who threw Beauty back in the ring before defeating her. In order to prevent a lawsuit, which the struggling promotion could ill afford, Wrestle Angel's quickly offered Riyu a chance to compete by offering her a contract, with Mighty Yukiko agreeing to train the girl and add her to her own stable, where she became the "cute one" of the group.

She spent the next two years in Wrestle Angels, competing against other wrestlers while developing her own style, her small size forcing her to often use her own body in risky dives and leaps. Sometimes, these would go wrong, causing her to crash and burn and costing her matches in the process, gaining her the nickname "The Kamikaze Fighter" for her bravery in going for such moves.

Her skills grew over those two years, facing off against the likes of Chigusa Yuuki, Tomomi Wantanbe, Cutie Kanai, and others, facing off against Beauty Ichigaya in what proved to be one of, if not in fact, the biggest upset in Wrestle Angels history when Riyu gained a pinfall victory after a roll up. While that was her biggest victory, her biggest match by far was her one and only title shot, against champion Mighty Yukiko, who she had spent so much time with that Riyu actually had gained a crush on her idol. The battle lasted quite some time, Riyu putting everything she had into her attacks, hitting several high impact moves at great risk to herself,as well as some crash and burns that nearly severely injured her.

In the final minutes of the match, after being dominated and trapped in submission holds for the past 5 minutes, Riyu barely managed to kick out of Yukiko's Japanense Ocean Cyclone Suplex, shocking the entire crowd. In the absolute highlight of her career however, just a minute later, she countered a version of the J.O.Cyclone Suplex from the top rope, which certainly would have ended her, into a last ditch Reverse Hurricanrana, Riyu barely able to drape an arm over Yukiko's breasts for a pin attempt, with Yukiko just getting her shoulder an inch off the mat so close to the three count that it took several replay's after the match to determine if she had kicked out in time. With Yukiko rising to her knee's, Riyu attempted a hard kick to Yukiko's head, only for the champ to duck it, the forcing turning an panicking Riyu around, allowing Yukiko to suddenly get under her and lift her up, falling back into a fast and dangerous snap version of the J.O. Cyclone Suplex, folding Riyu in half while dropping her onto her head, knocking the exhausted girl out as she pinned her for a 3 count.

That match convinced Riyu that she had finally come into her own in the ring, and no longer needed Yukiko's training, though she still respected the woman and considered her a friend. Sadly, that would be her final match with Wrestle Angels, as while she was still recovering from her wounds from the match, the company declared bankruptcy and folding, leaving her without a job.

She spent a year bouncing around a bit, enjoying the fame she had and spending time with her family. Eventually she caught wind of the AFW, a rival promotion that the President of W.A. had often said wasn't worth anybody's time and would be folding soon. Apparently he was greatly misinformed, as AFW actually bought out Wrestle Angels. Learning about the company, Riyu learned that several of her former friends and opponents had gotten jobs in AFW, even Yukiko had passed through there for some time.

She also discovered that AFW had succeeded by combining good wrestlers with a sex based style called "hentai wrestling". W.A. had such matches, but only in small quantities, and Riyu had won and lost various of them. Not a virgin, thanks to a couple past girlfriends...and a special night after getting drunk with Yukiko...Riyu found she really had no issue with such matches. Not only thought, but after watching a few matches of her former W.A. friends in such matches, she got excited about the idea of having some sexy fun with them.

With that settled, She called up some of the agents she new from W.A, many of whom now worked at AFW, with their help, she soon found herself signing a contract for her new wrestling company.

Fun Facts:

While she had a crush on Mighty Yukiko at one point, after their title match, the girls rarely spoke, Yukiko seeming angry that her former Kohai had not only surpassed her training, but for even just one night, had been her equal in the ring. That, plus the controversy over if she really had kicked out of Riyu's final counter, or if WA had been protecting her, something that been complained over before, angered her more. She seemed to want little, if anything, to do with Riyu after that. Accepting that their friendship was more or less over, Riyu found herself getting over the feelings she once had for her former senpai, realizing that she idolized her because she always put her on a pedestal, while equaling her in that match making her realize her talent and that she saw Yukiko as another fighter instead. With her obsession over her trainer over now, she feels more free then before.
