Saya Kamitani Comments on Her Goal Is To “Bring Women’s Wrestling To The Top”

New Japan Pro Wrestling’s NJPW1972.com held a recent interview with Stardom talent and current NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Saya Kamitani. One of the topics discussed included Kamitani’s thoughts about her winning the MVP award for this year’s Tokyo Sports Awards and her becoming the first female wrestler ever to achieve it.

“Saya-sama was the obvious choice! I won the World of STARDOM title last year in Ryogoku, won with my career on the line in April in Yokohama, then in September got women’s pro-wrestling on broadcast TV for the first time in 23 years. My goal has been for people who have never seen women’s wrestling to know who we are, and I did all the media that I could and worked in that ring to change perceptions stuck in the old women’s wrestling boom years ago.
I’ve spent the whole year thinking of nothing but wrestling, driving myself half crazy, but this award justifies my not backing down from any of it. I still have any ambition to chase, to have all of you see something you’ve never seen before, bring women’s wrestling to the top of the major scene, and have Saya Kamitani at the forefront. Don’t take your eyes off Saya-sama!”
