Koguma

[4.0] "Sorry to say, but Koguma irks me. I can't understate enough how much I hate the bear thing. The spot is so tired at this point. It's like this dumb obligation: "Okay, a Koguma match.. Now she has to do the stupid bear spot to start before anything can really get underway." Beyond that, I don't find her personality all too compelling. She's fine in the ring. I know her "high speed genius" nickname stems from the past, but it feels like a disservice to still be calling her that, as she doesn't really live up to that moniker much these days. I do like that she's in a pretty established tag team with Hazuki. If she stopped doing the bear thing, I would immediately bump her up to a rating of a 6. But I can't get past that & it makes me look at her as an annoyance."

[8.0] "Koguma is seen as the funny comedy character usually, but when it's time to get serious, she is one of the best tag workers in the world."

[8.0] "Koguma is really fun. The bear gimmick makes for great comedy moments. In the ring, shes really good as well, especially in tag matches with Hazuki. I love FWC"

[8.0] "Her Kuma gimmick is fun and she is really cute. She is solid in the ring and bumps really hard. She is actually a bit of a Joshi Jeff Hardy. Some of her dives from high places boarder on the suicidal!"

[10.0] "Koguma is a rare wrestler. At one point she was being primed to be a future ace of the company but retired under mysterious circumstances while she was a double champion just as quick. She's evolved into a perfect mix of old and present day stardom. Still able to really go in high speed action but even better now at connecting to the crowd. She brings joy to every show she is on."

[7.0] "Her in-ring ability is solid. She's fairly charismatic. But Koguma's gimmick is pure goofy fun, and that's what wrestling is really all about sometimes."

[9.0] "Koguma has a strong argument for MVP of Stardom in the first half of 2022, delivering the most consistently quality matches throughout the year jam packed with action, entertainment and character work. You can pick any random show she's on and you will see something new and creative from her, she works house shows better than anyone else in the company and she's also proven more than capable of having a serious title run where she leans into her high flying ability. Any thoughts she might be a one-note character have been utterly disproven in this year too, as she can't help but introduce variety in her approach and she has high levels of chemistry with practically everybody in the roster. I hope to see her as a serious contender for one of the top singles belts in Stardom over the next couple years."

[9.0] "Fukuoka Double Crazy are an awesome team, and that's partly because of the bear! Although she and Hazuli were away for a while, they've proven in short order that they're necessary pillars of the STARDOM tag scene, and either can make a believable run for a top title."

[8.0] "I give her 7 now, but I think she'll grow on me in future. She's really interesting part of STARS. She is able to combine the traits of an ordinary green face and a joshi who fights with great passion, like Mayu does. STARS really needs her during such a difficult period. UPD: Ok. now it's 8."

[8.0] "Probably the performer who has grown on me the most these past months. I think as time went on she looked like she was enjoying herself more and more, especially when Hazuki returned she basically evolved even more as a performer, it really did give her that extra motivation. I love their tag team but I also really like her as a singles performer. Would like to see her get the high speed belt off SLK whenever it's time for that."

[8.0] "Koguma has quickly become one of my favorites to watch in all of Stardom. Her work since coming back has progressively gotten better to the point where she's a reliable workhorse similar to the likes of Maika, AZM, and Starlight Kid. She might not be at the level of a Momo, Utami, or Mayu, but I think she could be if she continues improving her craft."

[6.0] "She's basically a less charismatic version of Yuna Mizumori: like Yunamon she is a natural with extremely high ceiling but just like her being on the chubby side limits her performances a lot."

[7.0] "I wasn't watching when Koguma was in her initial run, so I wasn't sure what to expect when she returned from such a long hiatus. Well, I'm impressed by how quickly she's found her groove. She's fitting right in, her matches alongside Mayu have all been good and the fact that she's only 22 means the best may be yet to come for her. I'm excited for her future."
