[7.0] "An important part of Choco Pro through the years. She's proof of Emi's idea that anyone can wrestle at any age. Her team ups with Antonio Honda are always a blast to watch."
[5.0] "I had no idea Tokiko Kirihara was in her mid-40s when I first saw her as she is in incredible shape. Unfortunately, the fact that she has only been wrestling for a couple of years is more readily evident."
[8.0] "Kirihara is really, really good. She stands out in Gatoh Move / ChocoPro with how different from everyone else she is. While not as experienced in wrestling as most of the roster, she's far more experienced in life and that is something she carries with her convincingly. She's not as animated as the rest of the roster, but her believability is higher. When she says something, no matter how low key, I believe she believes what she's saying, and that goes a long way for me. The fact that she's able to do this after debuting at the age of 44 is incredible and can't be understated. As for the wrestling goes, she uses her size very well, her kicks look good, she has a solid submission game and has flares of personality with moves like the Showa Twist when the moment is right. She's a great addition to the roster, and the company would be poorer without someone like her to be such a change of pace from everyone around her."
[4.0] "I'll give her major props for the guts of starting wrestling well into her 40's and for being in great shape. For the rest she's exactly what you'd expect from somebody her age with so little experience, meaning rather bad all around, including being a charisma black hole. In a promotion filled with colorful characters like Mei Suruga and Yuna Mizumori she doesn't really stand out as a great talker nor as a charismatic individual."
