Maki Itoh announced earlier today on Twitter that her contract with Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling has expired and she is currently a free agent.
Itoh stated that her contract with the company expired following their August 23rd show at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.
“With the Korakuen Hall show on August 23, 2025, my contract with TJPW has come to an end. Back when I was struggling as an idol, it was Takagi who discovered me. I wasn’t good at singing or dancing, and I was never that popular-but the one thing I was ever praised for was pro wrestling.
Thanks to TJPW, I was able to spend 8 years and 7 months growing and living alongside this company. It’s all because of TJPW and everyone I’ve met along the way.
I’ll continue wrestling, so I’m sure we’ll meet again somewhere down the road! I’ll never forget the gratitude I feel toward everyone who has supported me, and I’ll keep treasuring the experience and knowledge I gained here as I move forward. From the bottom of my heart, thank you fuck you all!”
