Azusa Inaba

[9.0] "Ridiculously good, especially when you factor in her age. She just understands how to match a match flow properly and look compelling. It's the little movements and actions that just really make me buy in to what she is doing, it never feels like she's running just to eat an attack or anything like that, you can see what the plan of her character was when her opponent cuts it out. A really talented seller, too, particularly with things like limb targeted submissions, and making sure that damage carries over throughout the match. Strong technically, good offence, but the in ring storytelling and putting on a captivating match is where she really shines. Her presence and presentation are good, too, even when presented alongside people like Kamitani, she never feels like she's overshadowed, she carries herself well."

[9.0] "It's impressive just how good Azusa Inaba is at her age, the proof that TAKA Michinoku may be one the best wrestling trainers in all the world if not currently the best one. Crisp in the ring, tons of personality, excellent in psychology and all around just a phenomenal talent to watch develop. She has just that "it" factor that makes it clear that, whatever she does, she's going to make it big, even having a bit of that "entrepreneurial" side to herself, already organizing events and producing special training sessions for her fans to get her brand out there. Unfortunately it looks like the younger Inaba's interest go way beyond wrestling, having signed on to an agency that specializes more in modelling and acting than wrestling, so my guess is that she wants to be a "tarento" like Saki Akai. We'll see where the future takes her but I hope it is a positive direction."

[7.0] "Azusa is impressive in the ring for her age, but she still has a bit to improve upon. I do believe that she will be one of the next generation's aces if she keeps getting more reps in the ring and works a little more on the fluidity of her chain wrestling or counters."

[7.0] "Azusa has incredible potential for someone so young and works with a smoothness and finesse that's pretty admirable. But it still feels like she's currently stuck in Rina's shadow. With time, if she finds her own character and style, and not just a be a wrestler who complements others very well, she could be a major player for Stardom's future. If there is any Stardom rookie worth giving your attention to, it's her."

[7.0] "For how young she is she's pretty good at everything she does. Her young brat archetype pairs well with Rina and Hate and she has more natural ability than multiple Rookies in Stardom. Her and Tomoka will hopefully rule the scene for many years to come."

[9.0] "for someone so new to the business, and especially as young as she is, azusa is a very talented young wrestler, with people like her and her sister, senka, yuzuki and them, the future of joshi is looking extremely bright"

[8.0] "so good for her age, and one of the people who will be leading the future of stardom along with the likes of rina, hanan, hina, starlight kid, etc. if okada decides to push the good people, the next generation of stardom looks bright."

[8.0] "Azusa is just incredible for a 17 year old, really smooth in the ring with pretty good kicks. She really might be one of the he next generation's key players in the joshi scene."

[9.0] "So good at such a young age. She has proven to be great at playing both Face and Heel already. Will be one of the biggest stars in Joshi wrestling in a few years"

[10.0] "Only 17 years old but already an excellent wrestler, she will make the good days of Joshi Puroresu alongside names like Seri Yamaoka, Senka Akatsuki or Sora Ayame, I have no doubt and her match against her sister in TAKATaichiMania IV strengthens my opinion, one of the best women's matches of the year it was very good"

[8.0] "Few wrestlers under the age of 18 have made as big of an impact lately than Azusa Inaba. She's an absolute standout in both JTO and Stardom, and she's improving rapidly. Her striking and technical wrestling skills would have made her an obvious fit for God's Eye, just like her older sister, but the decision to put her in H.A.T.E makes complete sense given her natural ability to play the heel. Her heel gimmick is similar to that of her tag partner Rina (in that she hates anyone older than her), but seeing her in comedy multi-woman matches and just having no time for her opponents' shennanigans is a great way to get her heel character across."

[7.0] "For someone that is 16 and barely a year into her wrestling career, Azusa is amazing. From just seeing her in the ring I don't think many would guess guess she's at this level of experience. There's a lot of young joshis in Japan but she might be one of the best with the brightest future. I have no doubt I'll have to revise this score for her in the future."

[7.0] "She's already really good, despite being so young. Eighty matches into her career, Tomoka Inaba's younger sister has looked great in her limited Stardom appearances, and her JTO stuff is getting better as well. She is very promising and has the makings of being a key player in the scene in the coming years."

[7.0] "At just 16 years old and with less a year of experience, Azusa Inaba is already a solid wrestlers that managed to seamlessly incorporate her karate skills into her wrerstling, something that usually takes some time to figure out. She also has remarkable mat wrestling skills for her age, and she was comfortable enough for the few times I've seen her cut a promo. She feels like a video game character that starts with bonus levels and skills thanks to the experience of a previous playthrough, in this case her sister Tomoka who shares a similar style. With the guidnace of Taka Michinoku, she will surely become a major figure in joshi wrestler whether on her own or teaming with her sister."
