Former Japanese female professional wrestler Yuu (34) has tied the knot with male professional wrestler Katsuo (40).

Japan's 'Tokyo Sports' reported on the 27th that "Yuu, who retired from active duty last year, announced her marriage to Katsuo, a male professional wrestler who is based in Hakodate."

On the 26th, Yuu posted a photo taken with Katsuo on her social media (SNS). She expressed her affection, saying, "I missed the timing to announce this, but I have married Katsuo. He is the most reliable and affectionate person in the world."

She added, "Both the wedding preparations and the wedding photoshoot were truly enjoyable. I am very much looking forward to the wedding ceremony that will be held soon. Important people have agreed to attend. Tomorrow will be incredibly fun."

Yuu debuted in Tokyo Women's Pro-Wrestling in 2016 and switched to freelance in December 2018, primarily competing on the 'Sendai Girls Pro-Wrestling' stage. Notably, she formed the 'Team 200kg' tag team with Sendai Girls' ace Chiharu Hashimoto, becoming tag team champions for several promotions. She officially joined Sendai Girls in July last year. She then left the ring after the event on December 28.

Fellow professional wrestler Kaori Yoneyama and fans poured out congratulatory messages upon hearing the news of the marriage. Yuu responded on her SNS, saying, "Thank you very much for all the congratulatory messages. I will reply slowly after the ceremony."

Yuu is a giant 'power fighter' who represents the Japanese women's professional wrestling scene. Having been a judo athlete during her school days, she boasts a sturdy physique standing 156cm tall and weighing 100kg. Rather than viewing her body type as a complex, she sublimated it into her most powerful weapon in the ring and her unique personality.

The overwhelming power emanating from her large frame is Yuu's greatest strength. She dominated the ring with moves such as the powerbomb (last ride), where she lifts opponents high and slams them down, as well as the heavy-weighted lariats and dropkicks.

Notably, she formed the tag team 'Team 200kg' with Chiharu Hashimoto, Sendai Girls' top star who shares a similar body type, showcasing formidable might.

Beyond her terrifying power, her cheerful showmanship was also a factor that thrilled fans. After victories, Yuu delighted fans with a comical performance of devouring extra-large onigiri on the ring alongside her partner.
