Interview with "Kamikaze" Chiyoko

Q: “Tell us a bit about yourself, where you come from and what your motivations are?”

A: “ There isn't much to tell prior to me joining or rather being brought into one of pro-wrestling federations. - I'm from Okinawa, Japan and as for motivation it was - and still is - people I face on the ring”

Q: "Who brought you into the business?"

A: “Firebird, Wildfire, Bird of prey... Or as this one more commonly known - Lyra Phoenix. I met her during training in gym months before my debut. And asked to show me few moves.. Sufficient to say it was very painful learning experience. But it was worth the effort~”

Q: "So Lyra Phoenix was your first trainer, who else trained you?"

A: “To be exact Phoenix was the one who finalized my training and conditioned me for my first match. As for others - there been plenty of people who laid the groundwork of what later become "Kamikaze Chiyoko" as I was actively seeking out pro-wrestlers with different specializations and learned from them. But if you insist ... Derrick Cult and Nanny Gothly are first names that sprang in mind..”

Q: “What is your wrestling style?”

A: “*looks away and chuckles* wish i knew how to name it.. Ahem.. As of now my 'style' is heavy focused on strikes. Delivering debilitating impacts to opponent until their guard is down and finishing match in one precisely aimed hit become my 'style' . And more conventional pro-style attacks become secondary serving only to assist the main goal of delivering one final strike.”

Q: “What are your signature moves and/or your finishers?”

A: “The finisher was (and still is) "Heel Kick" - reverse roundhouse kick to head, executed while shifting forward, condensing momentum of whole body into one precise shot aimed at opponent's head. And when the target softened up enough to be unable dodge, this is the end of match.”

“As for signature move...”

"Its Lariat, "Torpedo lariat" to be exact - and as with the finisher I throw my weight behind this move making impact hard enough to topple any opponent. Taxing as it is - the move knocks a lot out of me and target - is still my favorite way to show whoever oppose me what are they about to receive~”

Q: “What’s your entrance music? Why did you choose it?”

A: “ I'll restrain from naming the actual melody, enough to say thats a character music from one of "Musou Orochi " video game. As to 'why'... When my humors and the path I carved through the fed changed to darker one, replacement to my original entrance theme was necessary and the new tune fits perfectly!”

Q: "Many people saw in you one of the brightest stars of your generation. Until the day everything changed and you gave in to the darkness that was luring inside of you. What brought out this inner darkness?"”

A: “*leans to table and hides face in her hands chuckling before rising head and answering with broad smile* At this juncture detour required to explain a few things about me, my.. comrades and the federation I am pledged to, if we have the time?”

Q: "We have the time to do that. Please enlighten us."

A: “*leans back, turning head away and glancing sideways explains* Women Pro-wrestling Federation. WPWF. Sounds... usual, isn't it. Until you pay close attention to two facts. Show is called "Asylum" and wrestlers while called "Sirens" often referred to as "Inmates" . Starting to get the picture”

Q: “That means you had to let your inner darkness out to survive in the company?”

A: “Oh not in the least. WPWF is a special place. And pro-wrestlers- Sirens - of Asylum are special people. They are inmates who can let their temper run free and rage go wild inside those walls. And that's what makes great show.”

“But as Sirens clashed they reached.. equilibrium, not friendship maybe, but certain stalemate. “Previously dangerous even for skilled competitors zone become pacified.. As much as skilled fighter can be 'peaceful' that is.”

That took edge of things and not all of us enjoyed it. It was time to redress the balance and return Sirens to that state I saw them in when started out. Kamikaze Chiyoko among few others saw to it. So walking the dark path was not 'to survive in company' It was 'to remind others they are here to survive or die trying'”

Q: “Can you give us some advice for new wrestlers who want to step into the Asylum?”

A: “There's no ultimate recipe, for when you join the ranks of inmates of WPWF's Asylum you'll be under pressure - and I saw many promising rookies breaking and fleeing when faced with intensity of the show. So only advice I can offer - make sure you're in top shape - both physically and mentally, because Asylum will challenge you, pushing past your limits.”

Q: “Dream Match / Dream Opponent?”

A: “frowns and stays still for over a minute before answering Um.. There still was few years or so ago, but.. I faced them all at least once by now. Does it counts as dream fulfilled~?“

Q: “Any last words for the readers?”

A: “Come to the show - any that you can visit, take a good look at us all doing our best (or worse) on ring . And if at some point instead of thinking about action on ring "they are crazy" you start thinking "WE are crazy" - start training, bring yourself to right condition and join the ranks.. There's always use for fresh meat.. coughs Spot for new faces ~ “
