Hyper Misao

[6.0] "Very hit or miss for me. Some of her comedy is hilarious, while other times it makes me want to turn the show off. As a worker, beyond the comedy, she's solid, and capable of rising to the occasion. Just gonna leave it in the middle and go with a 6 on her."

[10.0] "the greatest comedy asset you'll ever be blessed with, and her wrestling ability absolutely matches that. she puts 110% in every time. i am big children."

[5.0] "she was so much better as misao, there is a wrestler in there once you get past the goofy character but sadly that is all we get now"

[9.0] "In a promotion like TJPW that has quite a few wacky characters, Hyper Misao manages to stand out as one of the absolute most entertaining people on the roster. Her yearly matches with Shoko Nakajima are must see at this point but she is one of the most consistently fun people in wrestling. Her arc with Neo Bishiki Gun is one of the best from TJPW. A true gem in the world of joshi."

[10.0] "hyper misao is insane. i honestly believe shes the funniest comedy wrestler ever, after teaching 15 year old rookies how to tie someone up in a rope for a hostage situation, and of course taking ring announcer sayuri namba hostage at the pool by holding a gun to her head. she also had a short stint with neo biishiki gun as misao wrestling unmasked, doing some comedy but taking a more serious approach before returning to the hyper misao gimmick. i recently decided to watch her match ve shoko nakajima for the princess of princess title recently and hyper misao blew me away with how technically sound she is in the ring, she proved to me in mass that she is not just a comedy wrestler. she really is the hero of tjpw."

"One of the most interesting, entertaining and gifted womens wrestlers competing today. While it may seem extremely easy to just dismiss Hyper Misao as just some pure comedy wrestler, if you scratch even a tiny bit below her surface, youll find an exceptional grappler who has clearly studied her craft closely and is more than capable of hanging with any opponent regardless of their talent. And if the time calls for it, she is happy and willing to sign up for the violence and depravity of hardcore deathmatches. Very much like joshis answer to USA independent scene Colt Cabana where she is very gifted in comedy and schtick but also can get the job done with whatever you need her to be and leave a crowd grateful to have seen her compete."

[10.0] "Hyper Misao may be the single most crzative wrestler in the world right now. While she is mostly known for her comedic gimmick, she is so much more than this. She is one of the few wrestler I will a match of regardless of context or its place on a card, she can truly bring something quite unique to any match she is in. Her comedic bits are a joy to watch, she does not just rely on one gimmick and keeps innovating and adapting to her opponents, creating a compelling experience of goofyness mixed with some genuily emotional moments. She is also a more than competent wrestler that can have a more serious match against anyone when needed, besides she can do hardcore and take some impressive bumps. Overall, one of the most essential memeber of TJPW (you should definitely check her produced show Hype! from may 2023)."

[6.0] "A fun wrestler that I more often than not tend to enjoy. Fun matches fun gimmick. I really like her."

[10.0] "She is ridiculously likeable and entertaining and her character is super fun and cute and crazy and she has great matches with fun and creative spots and she just is kinda perfect for tjpw and I love her."

[10.0] "One of my favourite wrestlers of all time. It's almost belittling to describe her as a 'comedy wrestler' because so many wrestlers use comedy as a crutch, or as an excuse to be lazy. Misao puts painstaking care and dedication into making each match different, recognising the malleability of wrestling as a form and exploiting that more creatively than anyone else. The goal of any professional wrestler is to make you want to see them, and I don't think there's a wrestler in the world I routinely look forward to watching more than Hyper Misao. It will be a dark day when TJPW's hero retires, but she'll leave behind a body of work incomparable to anyone else in the business."

[10.0] "I had Misao at an 8 for a while, but she's been so entertaining this year that I can't give her less than a 10. Maybe it's because I'm watching TJPW more often and more closely than before, but something has clicked and she's elevated to that level in my book. Every single match she has provides ample entertainment, her comedic chops are fantastic and she's shown she can wrestle serious when need be. She's not everyone's cup of tea, but she's the exact type of wrestler that once she clicks for you, you can't help but love what she has to offer."

[8.0] "Good wrestler; somewhat limited in the ring when compared to the rest of the more established TJPW stars but Hyper Misao is incredibly entertaining. Comedy is an important part of wrestling, whether people like it or not, and she provides that in spades. Her 'hero' gimmick is awesome and she actually looks pretty cool too. She is also really good at telling a story through a match; often you don't even need to understand Japanese to get it."

[9.0] "Hyper Misao is an absolute cornerstone of TJPW and an incredibly creative comedy wrestler. As she recently demonstrated in her hardcore match against Shunma Katsumata, she is also tough as nails and unafraid to take some brutal bumps. While she may not be a world-class technician, she has the ability to put together a very solid wrestling match as well when the situation warrants. Just a tremendously well-rounded worker and an unforgettable creative character. Joshi is better because Hyper Misao is in it."

[7.0] "One of the best comedy characters today which is a curse and a blessing. A blessing obviously because she is very, very good at it and it is an easy to like/connect gimmick. A curse because maybe she would be better in the ring if she wasn't limited by the comedy aspect of her character, but that's just specualtion, so I have to give her 7 points for being a really, really good comedy wrestler."

[10.0] "The best comedy wrestler that I have ever seen, she does a diferent joke and stunt every show I watched with her and she never does the same thing, very funny and charismatic wrestler"

"Often under rated in the ring because her character and shenanigan's overshadow her in ring work. Misao is one of the best workers in TJPW, which combined with her mic skills and charisma makes her one of the best anywhere."

[8.0] "Hyper Misao is an awful lot of fun even if not the greatest worker on earth. Who doesn't love a superhero willing to cheat'"

[8.0] "She may not be the best pro wrestler on the roster, but without doubt, Hyper Misao is one thing and that is fun. Love her gimmick, look, theme and usually enjoy her matches."

[10.0] "Hyper Misao is a joy to watch. Everything she does is so entertaining and creative you could honestly say she should be next in line to book Tokyo Joshi. When I see PaMi and what she does in the ring, her attitude, the way she carries herself and that ability to play multiple characters, I truly see a representation of what I look for in wrestling. Whether it is playing the hero who protects love and peace, Dark Misao, Max Pasa or Akemi Daredasore, Hyper excels at everything she does. The moment you learn her origin story, see what led to her match against Jun Kasai, or her friendship with Rika, her run with NEO Biishiki-gun and her yearly matches against Shoko that led to the creation of Kyoraku Kyomei, you realize: TJPW needs someone like Misao, someone who can do it all. When you see a Hyper-style match you remember: This is what TJPW is about. We don't know for how long we'll be able to enjoy the HERO, she almost retired in 2020 but played us all like a fiddle. I wish she did an apprentice storyline to teach a rookie her ways, because no matter what the future lies ahead for Misao, I think someone must always fill that gap, every group needs someone like her."

[9.0] "Hyper Misao is just so great. She's so entertaining inside the ring and out and never fails to put a smile on my face."

[10.0] "Such a joy to watch and one of my favorite gimmicks today. She's really underrated despite having some great work."

[10.0] "The best hero in pro wrestling history, without a doubt. Misao manages to be the perfect face and also perfect heel at the same time in the ring, which makes her one of the best tweeners not only in TJPW, but in pro wrestling generally. Even as a Sakisama's royal guard, she is gorgeus. The real professional."

[10.0] "Hyper Misao is an underrated gem of a wrestler and always fun whenever she's onscreen. I first got into TJPW when she was Sakisama's assistant and tag team partner, Misao, and she was great in that role, but after seeing her as Hyper Misao, I don't think there's a better role she could have gotten. She puts her all into whatever gimmick she is given, and she has such fantastic energy, and while she's not a Kota Ibushi or a Tanahashi in terms of ring work, she has so much character and charisma that it does add to the ring work, which is stellar, even though not fantastic. Her matches, such as her tag team match with Shoka Nakajima vs Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi, was an insanely fun ride, almost literally as she almost committed vehicular homicide with a bike. Her match with Saki Akai (with no real references to Sakisama, I guess Sakisama is treated as an entirely different character) was wacky in all the best ways and made me laugh. Apparently her most recent match was her retirement match? I use a question mark because even using the unofficial DDT website, I'm not sure if she's retired or not... she did get proposed to which just warmed my heart! Congrats to the new fiancé, and whether she decides to hang it up or not, she'll always be TJPW's shining hero!"

[9.0] "Misao is one of the wrestlers who first got me interested in TJP thanks to her fantastic bout against Jun Kasai. Her later turn to a darker character showed that she has great versatility when it comes to playing different roles in the company in a way that I don't think anyone else is quite at. She might not have the highest workrate chops but she more than gets by with her charisma, character work and heart."
