Miyako Matsumoto

After graduating from Nihon University's College of Art, Matsumoto embarked on a career as an actress, most notably working on the television series Muscle Venus, forming an idol group with fellow cast members Hikaru Shida, Hina Kozuki, Ichiko Mayu, Sachiko Koga, Tomoyo Morihisa, Tsukasa Fujimoto, Yuki Ueda and Yuri Natsume.

[2] Matsumoto made her debut for Emi Sakura's Ice Ribbon promotion on July 29, 2008, wrestling Yuki Ueda to a three-minute time limit draw.

[8] Though all Muscle Venus members made their debuts around the same time, only Matsumoto, Hikaru Shida and Tsukasa Fujimoto lasted more than six months, making new careers out of professional wrestling.

[12] The following month, despite her unimpressive win–loss record, Matsumoto declared herself the "ace" of all professional wrestling, before unsuccessfully challenging Kiyoko Ichiki for Ice Ribbon's top title, the ICE×60 Championship.

[32] As Kasai was not a regular member of Ice Ribbon's roster and only made sporadic appearances for the promotion, Matsumoto went on to join Hikaru Shida, Mochi Miyagi and Tsukasa Fujimoto to form the "Ichinisanshidan" stable.

[46] On December 3, Matsumoto returned to Ice Ribbon, in storyline being brought back by Ken Ohka to attack his estranged tag team partner Hikari Minami.

[48] On December 25 at RibbonMania, the reunited Matsumoto and Jun Kasai were defeated by Danshoku Dino and Makoto Oishi in a three-way tag team match, which also included Hikari Minami and Ken Ohka.

[52] Afterwards, Matsumoto demanded another shot at the Triangle Ribbon Championship and announced that since Nitta had used her cat-like attributes to defeat her, she was going to bring another animal, "Crazy Monkey" Jun Kasai, as the second challenger for the title match.

[56][57] After the ICE×60 Championship was vacated, following Maki Narumiya being sidelined with an injury, Matsumoto entered a round-robin tournament to determine the new champion,[58] wrestling Hamuko Hoshi to a ten-minute time limit draw in her opening match on January 19, 2013.

[62][63] On February 13, Matsumoto finished the round-robin portion of the ICE×60 Championship tournament with a win over Kurumi, forcing a tiebreaker match with Hamuko Hoshi to decide who would advance to the semifinals.

[80][81] On September 6, Matsumoto appeared at a WNC press conference, announcing that she had joined Makoto's supposed wrestling school, a stable, which also included Kaho Kobayashi.

[88] In early 2014, Matsumoto tried to twice capture the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship from her Muscle Venus partners Hikaru Shida and Tsukasa Fujimoto, first alongside Mio Shirai on March 9 and then with Hamuko Hoshi three days later.

[89][90] At the September 15 Ice Ribbon show, Matsumoto was defeated by Oz Academy representative Mayumi Ozaki, who afterwards offered her a spot in her villainous Seikigun stable.

[94] On October 19, Matsumoto made an appearance for All Japan Pro Wrestling, losing to Risa Sera in a rare women's match, provided by Ice Ribbon.
