History/Personality:
Born into a successful family young Yasuko was afforded many luxuries in life, all except one: time with her family. Yasuko’s father was a successful neurosurgeon who was often called out of country by his work, but always a warm and caring individual. Her mother was business minded and served as VP to an up and coming Telecom Company and stern in attitude, with compassion being a rare reward.
Whenever time allowed her father would spend time with his only daughter watching puroresu. Her father was embarrassed by his love of the sport and never talked about it, or acknowledged it outside of their home. It was something that only Yasuko got to see, her father grinning like a child as they watch All Japan Pro Wrestling.
Yasuko’s first year in Lower Secondary School/Junior High School was a struggle for her with her grades. Her mother berated her and chastised her relentlessly when the school informed her. After an hour of the scolding her father arrived home from work and took the sobbing Yasuko aside and talked to her about what was happening in school. After a long conversation he gave her an incentive, if she could finish the year with straight A’s he would take her to a live puroresu event of her choosing. Yasuko’s face would glow in the marvel of what had been offered to her, and how much it meant coming from her father.
She would buckle down on her studies and became top in her class. On evenings when Yasuko and her father would sit and watch NOAH, her motivation was reinvigorated. Her father would talk about his favorite wrestlers, Kenta Kobashi, Jun Akiyama, and his hero, Mitsuharu Misawa, and she knew that her work in school would not only allow her to see her favorite Puro stars in the ring live, but allow her father that same opportunity that meant so much that his pride would never let himself have.
The school year came to an end and Yasuko’s grades were the highest in her class and one of the highest in her school, and she wasted no time on picking her reward. She told her father that she wanted to go to the July 10th NOAH Departure show.
It was a hot overcast Saturday, hitting 87° Fahrenheit; they spent the day roaming about the city of Tokyo before cramming into their floor seats at the Tokyo Dome. As they sit waiting for the show to begin Yasuko observed her father’s behavior. He was shifty and nervous, almost as if he was doing something wrong, but that all went away after the bell rang as Mitsuo Momota and Haruka Eigen locked up in the ring. As the show went on she watched her father’s grin grow more and more and could see his childish enthusiasm bubbling over.
That was until Taiyo Kea and the legendary Keiji Mutoh challenged Yoshinari Ogawa and her father’s hero, Mitsuharu Misawa for the GHC Tag Titles. The childish enthusiasm exploded and his joy was too much for him to contain. His enthusiasm was infectious, and Yasuko was swept away in it. As the match roared on they exploded with cheers as Misawa hit a Shining Wizard on Mutoh. As Misawa hit Kea with an Emerald Flowsion they erupted with cheers. When Kea kicked out they cheered his spirit. Then Misawa lifted Kea with a Vertical Suplex which was altered to be an Emerald Flowsion Kia driving Kea to the mat in a violent drop winning Misawa the match as Yasuko and her father cheered louder than their lungs knew possible.
They were exhausted, but the evening was not over. Kenta Kobashi had still to defend his GHC Heavyweight Championship against Jun Akiyama. Yasuko was mesmerized at seeing her father being overwhelmed with such joy. And as her father chanted Kobashi’s name as he walked down the ramp, Yasuko felt proud that all of her hard work and determination gave this evening to her, but more importantly was the push that gave her father so much happiness that would never have happened otherwise.
The match was the dictionary definition of Epic. The battle that took place was quite possible the best match of the decade, and Yasuko and her father saw it live, together. The match ended with Kenta Kobashi using a move that has only been seen a handful of times in his career; the Burning Hammer. Yasuko and her father with horse voices cheered at this monumental victory and match of a lifetime.
As they left the building they sat on a bench and enjoyed what had just occurred. And Yasuko’s father admitted to her that his father chastised him for his love of the sport, calling it “childish”, and because of that her father hid his love of the sport and kept it only to himself until they watched it together. Her father then told her how much fun this was, and that from now on he would take Yasuko to every show possible and they would see them all together. Yasuko was the happiest she had ever known. The two sat on the bench reviewing the event and miming the actions of the wrestlers and the most memorable events.
The next morning her father had already gone before she awoke. He was on a plane to Germany. Yasuko heard that it was for a medical convention. On her desk she found a new camera, two tickets to another show, and note saying “If I’m not back in time, be sure to take some pictures for me.”
It was 2:00am. The phone was ringing. She picked it up and heard her mother speak and the voice of a man who she’d never heard before, and in a low voice he spoke words that would crush their lives. Her father had a massive stroke. Yasuko heard her stern mother break. She heard the crying resonating through the walls. She sat and thought about what had just happened. She was confused if this wasn’t just a nightmare. Her father was gone. The sun rose and the warm beams of light shone on her face and sparkled off of the tears that had been rolling down her face throughout the night.
Yasuko waited for her mother to tell her. Her mother didn’t know that Yasuko had picked up and heard, and Yasuko was waiting for her mother to come into her room, sit on her bed and tell her about her father’s fate. She waited for the crying, the hugging, the mourning, and the bonding in their loss. But her door never opened. Her mother never mentioned it. Her mother never announced mourning, and the funeral was private with only the most of immediate family being involved.
Her mother was no longer the stern, strong woman Yasuko knew; she had been broken and she breathed defeat. Yasuko was not content to see her mother wither away and would try to close the distance between them.
Yasuko tapped on her mother’s door and saw her mother sitting on the edge of her bed in the dark, softly sobbing to herself. She sat next to her mother and told her of the time that she spent with her father. Her mother never knew of her husband’s love of puroresu. Her mother chuckled and called it “childish”. Yasuko then presented her mother with the tickets and note that her father left; the last memento her father gave to her. Her mother read the note and cried. Yasuko invited her mother to come with her.
It was Friday, September 10th, 2004 and they packed into the Budokan arena. Her mother sat and was shifty and nervous, almost as if she was doing something wrong. And soon the first match was underway. Before the music started Yasuko explained to her mother that the man in green was her father’s favorite wrestler. Then Spartan X roared through the arena as Misawa and Ogawa made their entrance.
As the match of Misawa & Ogawa vs Inoue & Saito played out Yasuko explained the match to her mother, and it didn’t take long before her mother was cheering at elbows and winced at Ogawa receiving a Piledriver on the concrete from Saito. Yasuko watched as her mother became engrossed in the match, but a part of her couldn’t help but fall into the thoughts about how she missed her father and wished that he would have been there; but then another part of her couldn’t help but see her mother and know the joy that her father would have had in this moment. Though he was gone, in that loud crowd that roared as Kenta Kobashi and Akira Taue battled, they were all together as a family.
The years passed and Yasuko stayed on the top her class, she went with her mother to every puro show that was in the area, and was already in college classes for neuroscience when she was 17. Yasuko finished her final year of Upper Secondary/ Senior High School and graduated at the top of her class.
Thursday night Yasuko and her mother sat in their living room going through the photo album that has been building since September 10th, 2004. In it there are multiple pictures from every match and write ups and reviews of each match. They go through the album talking about all of the matches that they enjoyed and the matches that Yasuko’s father would have favored. They talk until it is late about all that they’ve seen and all that they would like to see next.
Saturday, June 13th, 2009, Yasuko and her mother made the 5 hour long trip from Tokyo to the Hiroshima Green Arena and celebrate Yasuko’s birthday by attending NOAH’s Southern Navigation ’09. The small venue filled with fans; Yasuko and her mother have 3rd row seats and is the closest that Yasuko has ever gotten to the ring.
Yasuko and her mother reminisce about the shows they’ve gone to, speak with grins as they discuss what shows Yasuko’s father would have enjoyed, and Yasuko tells stories of her father watching AJPW with her when she was a child. The event starts and the time seems to fly at light speed. The matches go quickly, but the show is entertaining and they enjoy seeing their favorites and some of the gaijin from the American promotion Ring of Honor.
The eighth match of the evening is for the GHC Tag Team Championship, Akitoshi Saito and Bison Smith defending their championship against Go Shiozaki and Mitsuharu Misawa. Yasuko’s eyes were bright with enthusiasm as her and her father’s hero entered the ring.
The enthusiasm faded. It was overtaken by terror and sorrow. Her hero lay motionless. Concern is stricken on the faces of the officials who rush from the back. Tears well and cannot be contained. Her heart beats thunderously as sadness takes hold upon it. Yasuko tries to wake from this nightmare; another horrible nightmare that cannot be real. The event is brought to a sudden close. The crowd chants her hero’s name. Yasuko cannot hear the chanting over the beating of her sorrow filled heart.
Her mother guides Yasuko back to the station. The train ride is long and the time seems to creep by as Yasuko’s mind races to try to comprehend this impossible horror she has witnessed. The train is silent. Her tears are warm on her face. The tears won’t stop. The train screams down the tracks, but it is still silent.
Yasuko and her mother arrive home where Yasuko then learns that all of her fears are true, her hero, her father’s hero, the man who proved to be the common ground that the bonds that Yasuko and her father’s fondest memories were built around, Mitsuharu Misawa, had passed away. The tears seem to never end.
As she lays on her bed with her heart asunder the tragic moments replay in her mind. She remembers the fond times she and her father had. She remembers what it was that her father said to her on the way home after what was to be the only live event they attended together – “He fights. You think he’s going to lose. You know he’s going to lose. There is no way for him to recover. But he does. He fights through. He makes the impossible possible. You could say that is what I try to emulate.”
The next morning Yasuko sits at the table with her mother as they eat breakfast. Yasuko’s anguish has become resolve. The silence is broken with Yasuko’s bold and stern declaration, “I’m going to be a wrestler.” Her mother sits with a look similar to that of a deer in headlights. Yasuko calmly continues to eat. Her mother clamors for thoughts whole enough to be put into words.
Her mother asks why and reminds her of what happened yesterday and if that’s what Yasuko wants for herself. Yasuko calmly explains to her mother what made this choice for her and reviewed the days that she spent with her father, the words of her father that made such an impact on her, and she states how she would not be content with her life knowing that she could inspire others like she and her father were.
Yasuko had finished school with stunning grades with the potential to attend any college she wished, instead she began to search for a school to learn how to wrestle. She found a small promotion nearby that had a school, but the school was not taking applicants. But one of the trainers she had talked to from the school told her of an American school that their promotion often worked with as well as exchanged students. He gave her a web address to look up.
Epyon Exchange based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. She sent an email to Rei Tsuda, trainer and head translator of Japanese of the school, filled with questions, worries, doubts and the story that drove her to this. The reply came the next day. It was a heartwarming response which did nothing but fuel her ambition.
Yasuko confronted her mother with the news. Her mother overwhelmed by emotion began to cry. Yasuko spent the evening consoling her mother and informed her mother of what lay ahead for Yasuko. And after several emotional hours her mother had gathered herself enough to be supportive and understanding.
Weeks later Yasuko and her mother stand in an airport. The airport is loud with hustle and movement from the horde of people, but even with that it is quiet between Yasuko and her mother. Yasuko tries the best that she can to comfort her mother and tells her that she’ll keep in touch as often as possible. The announcement is made over the P.A. that Yasuko’s flight is boarding. Yasuko embraces her mother tightly before walking to the plane that shall take her away from everything she has ever known and towards everything she hopes to do.
