Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Tomoko Kitamura (born July 28, 1963) is a retired Japanese Professional Wrestler best known for her work in All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling as Lioness Asuka. She debuted in 1980 and made an immediate impact, winning the AJW Junior Title within her first year. She would hold the AJW Singles Title twice. In 1983, she and Chigusa Nagayo formed the Tag Team the Crush Gals, who would be hugely successful, both in terms of titles won and in terms of television ratings. They were 3x AJW WWWA Tag Team Champions, and, long after their initial breakup, they won the GAEA AAAW Tag Team Titles. Asuka also competed for Aja Kong's ARSION, NEO, Jd' and various other promotions. She made her PPV debut in the women's match at Survivor Series 95, where she was on Team Bertha Faye, and was the first one eliminated, courtesy of Alundra Blayze. She was inducted into the AJW Hall of Fame in 1998 and into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame in 1999.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As usual, you can find the basics at The Other Wiki. Not to be confused with Kanako Urai, whose WWE ring name of Asuka was a Shout-Out to her.

Became Their Own Antithesis

Became Their Own Antithesis: Early in AJW she inspired many young girls to become pro wrestlers as The Crush Gals overcame the Atrocious Alliance trying to run roughshod over the company. But then she was forced to retire. That Asuka continued to work for AJW almost exclusively for the first two years of her return suggested she wasn't that bitter about it but when Nagayo founded her own company capable of standing on near equal footing with AJW, GAEA, which largely made up of women inspired by The Crush Gals, Asuka lead a hostile takeover with the help of other AJW veterans, which included some of The Crush Gals' old Atrocious Alliance enemies, in order to put the new comers out.

Annual Title: When she and Nagayo reformed their team in the year 2000, they changed the team's name to Crush 2000.

Action Girl: Being a female competing in pro wrestling rings obviously calls for it, especially in Zenjo. To be a Zenjo breakout is extra special.

All Your Base Are Belong to Us: She briefly, but successfully all the same, forcibly took control of the GAEA promotion.
