| 1 | 04.05.2025 | crs285 | 7.0 | Itoh is a fun character who has proven herself in the ring. Her in ring psychology and ability to tell the story in the ring are good. She is extremely charismatic. Her biggest issue is her American booking which can see her in stinkers of matches (vs Mickie James at the memorial show) and sometimes makes her more of a comedy wrestler than what she can be. |

| 10 | 04.02.2025 | Impact0 | 10.0 | No pro wrestler male or female has captivated me more than Maki Itoh. She just gets it. Her immense charisma, her masterful facial expressions, her aura, her presence, her ability to work any crowd like putty in her hands, all on display every match she wrestles. Also to the people who only saw her in AEW where she had to work a comedy style and gave her bad ratings, citing that she can't wrestle, you can't be any more wrong. Itoh can go in the ring, she's not a technical savant, her style is much more brawler with a bit of submission and she excels at in-ring story-telling thanks to aforementioned facial expressions and her fantastic selling. Her singles matches with the likes of Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima, and Miyu Yamashita are fantastic. Also she sings her own theme song. |

| 15 | 19.12.2024 | Tom 35 | 8.0 | Maki itoh is a unique wrestler in which she doesn't have a really large moveset, she mainly uses a DDT variation and Boston crabs and Cloverleafs and her most famous move the kokeshi but she has these great story telling matches which have lots of emotions and great in ring, she's also a really good character that can be great on Mainstream US TV as shown in her AEW appearances, Her Team with Miyu Yamashita is also really good, One of the very best in Joshi wrestling, I can see her winning the Princess of Princess title within the next 2 years and eventually moving to the US and becoming a big Star |
| 16 | 11.12.2024 | ItsAllAWorkAnyway | 6.0 | Maki Itoh is one of the better Joshi wrestlers to make her arrival stateside. In Japan, she has earned both singles and tag accolades in TJPW (whilst also getting bookings from DDT.) In the United States, she is showcased by GCW following stints in AEW and MLW that increased her visibility. She has more to prove in order to be regarded as a true major leaguer, but her in-ring mannerisms and image have rightfully earned her a fanbase. |

| 34 | 12.05.2024 | StardomIcon | 9.0 | Please take my True Wrestling Fan card away, because I love watching Maki Itoh perform. She's captivating, knows how to engage a crowd, and is a performer in every sense of the word. I mean, who else sings their own theme song while walking to the ring? One minute, Maki will be laying on the mat pouting like a child or posing for the crowd, while the next minute she'll be flipping them off and cutting her opponent open with a pizza cutter. There is a lot of depth and diversity to Maki's character, and she lets every aspect of her personality shine through her wrestling persona. I will rate Maki on three aspects per Bret Hart's idea for rating wrestlers: look, promo, and in-ring ability. Starting with look, Maki has this down. She clearly puts a lot of effort into her appearance, from ring gear to hair to make up. She claims to be "The Cutest in the World" but also has that goth punk aesthetic similar to Misa Amane from Death Note going on. In other words, it's hard to tell if she's a pop idol or ready to cut your face open. Moving on to promo skills, whether you are fluent in Japanese or not, she is worth listening to because of the emotion she conveys when she speaks. She's unbridled and unconscious. She isn't apprehensive on the mic and doesn't hide her emotions. My ears always perk up when she picks up the mic after winning a match. Lastly, there's in-ring ability - an area where some wrestling fans knock Maki. Although she is not the most athletic wrestler in the world, she proves that creativity is more important than acrobatic ability. She has solid timing and strikes, including kicks and headbutts. Her facial expressions are second to none. Watch her match against Minoru Suzuki at TJPW Grand Princess 2024 and you'll see the amount of drama she is able to create just with facial expressions alone as Minoru builds up to striking her. Maki also does a lot of traditional wrestling moves that old school fans will appreciate. In particular, I like her rolling single leg crab, DDT, Texas Cloverleaf, and especially her Itoh Special (Liontamer) which looks especially painful. And I always pop when she lands a falling headbutt following an Irish whip, as that has to be one of the most unique ways any wrestler has ever run the ropes. She has a good understanding of storytelling in the ring, which I will take over flashy or gimmicky moves any day. In conclusion, wrestling is a subjective. There is no definitive style of wrestling and it shouldn't bother you if a former pop idol is now a professional wrestler. Everyone has something that resonates with them, and I will unabashedly say that Maki Itoh's vision of pro wrestling resonates with me. |

Anyone who follows Maki Itoh's wrestling career across TJPW, AEW, GCW, and all other indie scenes she has appeared on knows that she is definitely one of the best wrestlers in the world, apart from being the cutest in the world. She captivates the audience with her charisma and her energy. And she will flip off anyone who gets on her way when it comes to winning matches. Her matches against Rina Yamashita are exceptional and a must watch. Her matches against Mizuki and Miyu Yamashita are also fantastic. |

| 44 | 20.01.2024 | All Cops Are Bossman | 8.0 | The Gran Naniwa tribute match with Super Delfin is enough to put her in the hall of fame. You are an Itoh simp whether you admit it or not. |

Hilarious, solid in ring and genuinely entertaining. She is a cartoon character come to life who is of course, also cute. Her unique backstory accentuates her quirky, crazy character. I always have a good time watching Maki Itoh. |

| 55 | 30.08.2023 | cultnekofollower | | Maki Itoh is one of the best up-and-coming wrestlers coming from a very competitive Japanese scene where it seems like everyone and anyone is going to the US. He character work is one of the best and her in-ring skills are improving every time I see her. Many might see her as cringy or not a good worker. but her matches with Mizuki or Yamahsita are very good matches that show her skills. |
| 56 | 17.08.2023 | chibimatty | 7.0 | Very hard to rate, Maki Itoh exists and works well within the kawaii fairy-tale universe of TJPW; but when removed from that environment, can come across as cringey and out-of-place, as many of the more cartoony gimmicks in TJPW would. This is a not a knock at Japanese wrestling either, Maki (or other TJPW character gimmicks like Haruna Neko, Raku, Pom Harajuku et al) wouldn't really work in Stardom for example. And therein lies the problem. I'd give Maki a 10 or 9 for her TJPW work, but in AEW? I don't think it works terribly well, unless they give her better matches to wrestle in- ones which are more reliant on dramatic ringwork, than comedy. Orange Cassidy has had to change to remain watchable in AEW, Maki Itoh would have to do the same, or be used sparingly, in that American market. Ironic, considering that in TJPW itself, she has been working more serious matches, especially in the build to her excellent title match at Wrestle Princess II in October 2021. |

| 59 | 28.06.2023 | MasteroftheMatchGuide99 | 8.0 | Maki is definitely an undiscovered gem in the same vein as Edge, Orange Cassidy, and Christian Cage. By that, I mean she has the ability, comedy aspect, and charisma that some of the greats have been able to parlay into their character. She's also a great character in general who will probably bring a smile to your face, but her goofy entrance actually hides a fierce and very hungry competitor who can be a challenge for the great ones in Japan and the US. It's too bad that I can't go to Japan to see just how good she is against other joshi, but I have to give her this rating, because while she's not perfect, she is without a doubt a unique blend of toughness, comedy, and charisma. If Mick Foley taught us anything, it's that sometimes that exact trifecta equals great success. |

| 70 | 04.05.2023 | killowenskill | 10.0 | Maki Itoh has the same views on wrestling as respected Japanese legends, she has the necessary basic skills, due to which she can build a variety of stories with her opponents, and the distinctive features and mannerisms of the character are layered on top, which make her special and memorable. Maki is a truly great performer with a huge number of amazing singles matches and amazing tag team matches, a woman who has been forcing fans to watch the story of her ascent for several years, who (so far) can't find the final, a woman who can look competitive against the monstrous Kazusada Higuchi, despite the fact that she much lower and much thinner. To be honest, I'm tired of reading comments about her being limited, because it's not true, she does no more and no less than any other wrestler in TJPW. But, of course, most of the negative comments are left by those who have seen two or three of her matches inside someone else's promotion for Maki. I believe that AEW fans need to finally come down from heaven and accept the simple fact that everything doesn't revolve around their favorite company, a person has a career elsewhere, there is a booking elsewhere, there are titles and confrontations elsewhere. On what basis you decide that you can leave your mark on her profile is the biggest mystery that haunts me. Returning to Itoh, she is a real phenomenon, successfully combining excellent wrestling and entertainment. Any wrestler who knows how to sell himself deserves respect, but in the case of Maki, this is a fundamentally different level. |

| 72 | 18.04.2023 | Klauwis | 3.0 | Judging by her few appearances on AEW, I think I'm done with Maki Ito's shtick. She's not particularly horrible in the ring, but she isn't very good either - and without mentioning her frequent botches. While I could pardon some of her flaw in the ring as her being mostly a comedic wrestler, I cannot rate her any higher considering I personally find her comedic routine boring and genuinely cringe-worthy. At least, she is mostly inoffensive: shows up once in a while on YouTube, sing her theme song, delivers an underwhelming match and loose before leaving for another few months. She's not good nor entertaining, but at least she's not there often which is definitely a positive. |

| 81 | 12.01.2023 | Bullshark1 | 7.0 | Maki Itoh is extremely fun to watch, and a good example of a decent joshi. Her gimmick suits her personality so damn well, and she's really gotten over with the TJPW crowds as well as the good fans of AEW and the American indies. Her in-ring work is decent, but not on the level of people like Shoko Nakajima or Yuka Sakazaki. Her team with Miyu Yamashita is also great, as both women are so talented. Maki's future is bright, but she has to keep getting better to keep up with the ever-changing wrestling fanbase. |
| 82 | 06.01.2023 | Enriquepollazzo | 8.0 | Shes obviously not a 0. No one is a 0. Why do they even have that as an option. Vincent isn't a ZERO.She is perfect for tjpw and an acquired taste in aew and gcw. Pretty damn funny and entertaining to me. Maybe not great in ring yet that I've seen. |
| 83 | 02.01.2023 | hfield07 | 0.0 | Little wrestling ability and the worst women's gimmick i ever saw just below Nikki Ash's super hero thing. Seems to only play up to those who care about how pretty a wrestler is. wrestler's arent supposed to be cute. this could possibly work as a short term heel run where she plays up this cute thing to get heat and then is a deadly assassin type wrestler but she's bad in the ring and somehow gets cheered. |

Her flair and personality won't work for everyone, but it's impossible to deny how far she's come. |
