Japanese rising star Monna Kimura (22), who has gained attention for her spectacular kicks reminiscent of the fighting game character Chun-Li, has revealed her astonishing physical condition.
Japanese fighting media 'iFight' focused on the story on the 24th, stating, "Kimura's abdominal photo posted just before the weigh-in on her personal social networking service (SNS) has caused a huge shock among fans."
Kimura posted on her SNS with a message saying, "My stomach is puffy on fight day, but it's this thin on weigh-in day," showing her extreme dieting results.
In the released photos, Kimura's side profile revealed an extremely thin abdominal line, raising questions about where her internal organs are located, while the front photo clearly showed her highly toned abs.
According to 'Yahoo Japan,' fans who saw this expressed surprise with comments such as, "Can a human body really be like this?", "She looks thinner than a slice of bread," and "It's scary that she has broken the limits of professional athletes."

The reason Kimura pushes herself so relentlessly is to deliver a perfect performance. Having built her career in karate and boxing, Kimura has earned the nickname 'live-action Chun-Li' by showcasing her freely executed kicks, winning over fighting game fans. In particular, her exquisite kicks that seamlessly transition between high and mid-level strikes, achieved while standing on one leg, have drawn significant attention from fighting fans, especially after she secured seven consecutive titles at the JKJO, Japan's largest full-contact karate junior tournament.
In fact, Kimura previously displayed overwhelming skill against South Korea's Choi Eun-ji at K-1 GENKI 2026 on the 11th. At that time, Kimura unleashed relentless side kicks reminiscent of Chun-Li's signature move, the Hakurei Kaku, and secured a 3-0 decision victory after maintaining a karate stance throughout the third round. Currently, Kimura holds a perfect 4-0 record (2 KOs) on the K-1 stage and has rapidly emerged as a bona fide next-generation star.
Kimura's unique fighting style has also become a concern for her peers. Junna Tsuki, a former karate world champion, advised via 'iFight' that "To counter Kimura's kicks, you must use your feet to break her flow the moment you lift your knee."
