History: Michiko was always a girl who fought for justice and what she believed to be right. In particular, she always wanted to stand up for her childhood friend, Haku Yowane. Ever since they were little kids, they grew up next to each other, went to school together, and hung out together. Though Haku never asked for it, Michiko was always there trying to be a good friend for her. Aside from being a model student, quickly becoming Student Council President and one of the most popular girls in her class, she was not a pushover when it came to fighting, having taken up self defense at a young age. However, Michiko never had to use her knowledge on fighting until she entered high school.
One night, when she was looking for Haku to give her some papers from a teacher, she found several girls bullying her, pinning her down and hurting her. Michiko dropped everything and immediately stopped the girls, after grabbing a teacher of course. She asked her childhood friend why she never said anything about it and her friend blatantly replied to her that she actually enjoyed it. This surprised Michiko and she worried for her friend once again, using her position as Student Council President to take a peek at what occupation she wanted to go into and saw that Haku was interested in wrestling. Michiko panicked, afraid what would become of her best friend. So she would take up wrestling, learning different moves and techniques, so that she could protect her.
After she and Haku graduated, she told Haku she wanted to make sure she would be safe and will follow her to where ever she go. Haku told her she was going to join this new wrestling company that opened up and Michiko looked into LAW, submitting her registration with Haku, and she was even able to become her roommate in the dormitories. Michiko intends to carry on her fight for justice into LAW, defending her old friend, and anyone else who might need her!
Personality: Michiko has a strong sense of justice, never one to tolerate bullying or unjust acts. If she were to see such acts being committed, Michiko will not hesitate to put a stop to it. She also worries a lot for her friends, especially for her childhood friend, Haku Yowane. She's also committed to giving her all in everything she does, and puts her full effort into doing her best, whether that comes in the form of training to be the best wrestler she can be or making sure her outfits are impeccable in order to put the best foot forward - though sometimes, she can overdo it and burn herself out.
Aside from her staunch beliefs, Michiko is also a natural crowd-pleaser, and she believes in giving her fans a good show, styling herself as the sort of heroic fighter to justice that might have stepped right off a TV screen, even taking pains to be a positive role model and imparting moral lessons on truth, justice, and safety to her fans. That being said, she isn't all looks. She truly believes in everything she does, and she doesn't take kindly to the insinuation that she's doing it all for publicity - she'll back herself up in a heartbeat if she needs to.

Fighting Style: Michiko favors a power-based style, using her physical strength to inflict hard-hitting slams, throws, and piledrivers - not only are they good at inflicting damage, it never fails to hype up the crowds when she throws her opponents around with ease, and she's proud to make a splash. Her training in judo techniques inform much of her style, and she'll often perform counters or use her opponents' momentum against them to set up favorable positions for herself. That being said, she's also no slouch when it comes to strikes, and can close in on her opponents with startling speed in order to whittle down at their stamina. Michiko particularly enjoys going for big, spectacular displays to win over the attentions of her fans, but if she really needs to get down to business, she isn't afraid to drop the theatrics and get serious.
Favored Match Types: Michiko is willing to partake in just about any kind of match and go up against any opponent, seeing every opportunity as one to prove her strength and showcase her abilities. She isn't as keen on doing hentai or hardcore matches, preferring to keep things clean and on the up-and-up - but should she need to, she's prepared to step outside of her comfort zone if it means settling a grudge or getting her point across.

Friends:
- Haku Yowane is Michiko's friend since childhood, with the two of them growing up together, and Michiko always pledging to stand up for her. Since Haku signed with LAW, Michiko agreed to follow her there so that she could keep her promise alive. Although Michiko is aware that Haku cares only to be a jobber, she wishes better for her friend, and she thinks she's limiting herself more than she should.
