Ozaki passed her audition for Japan Women's Pro Wrestling and invited Takako to join, but she declined.

Takako made her debut on October 8, 1988, against (not related) fellow rookie and future tag team partner Kyoko Inoue in AJW.

This was an important push for a wrestler so young, but her beauty and improving work rate was considered strong enough to put her over for the belt.

On April 25, 1992, Takako and Yoshida took the titles back from Hawegawa and Malenko before losing them to Bat Yoshinaga and Tomoko Watanabe on December 1, 1992.

Their hottest feud during this time was with the team of Manami Toyota and Sakie Hasegawa (or her masked alter ego, Blizzard Yuki).

After losing the titles to Shimoda and Toyota on June 22, 1996, the Inoues split up; it was decided that Kyoko would be getting a serious push at the WWWA World Single Championship.

Takako then challenged ex-partner and WWWA champion Kyoko Inoue on January 20, 1997, in a losing effort to unify all three titles.

Given the fact she was spinning her wheels and facing the specter of continued bookings against the ZAPs, in what essentially turned into comedy matches, Takako left AJW in 1999 to freelance.

She soon landed in Ladies Legend Pro-Wrestling, where, on September 2, 2000, Takako, Rumi Kazama and Eagle Sawai (collectively known as Black Joker) won the vacant LLPW Six Woman Tag Team titles from Miho Wakizawa, Nanae Takahashi and Toyota They held the belts for almost two years before dropping them to Mizuki Endo, Keiko Aono, & Rieko Amano on June 15, 2002.

As a freelancer she worked for various women's promotions, such as LLPW (Ladies Legend Pro-Wrestling), Oz Academy, and Arsion.
