Maki Narumiya

Maki Narumiya (成宮 真希) is a retired Japanese professional wrestler.

A former dancer, Narumiya was trained in professional wrestling by Emi Sakura and made her debut for the Ice Ribbon promotion in March 2011.

During her four years in the promotion, she became a one-time ICE×60 Champion and two-time International Ribbon Tag Team Champion.

She made her debut on March 19, 2011, working for Sakura's Ice Ribbon promotion, losing to Mochi Miyagi.

Just two days later Narumiya wrestled at her first major Ice Ribbon event, Ice Ribbon March 2011, where she, Riho and Tamako faced Hikari Minami, Kurumi and Tsukushi in a six-woman elimination tag team match.

Narumiya was eliminated from the match by Minami, after which her team was defeated, when Tsukushi pinned Riho.

On April 20, Narumiya picked up her first win on April 20, defeating Miyako Matsumoto.

Narumiya then teamed with Matsumoto at her second major event, Golden Ribbon 2011 on May 5, where the two defeated Hamuko Hoshi and Mochi Miyagi, with Narumiya pinning Hoshi for the win.

Narumiya's following months consisted mainly of losses, with her picking up her only wins against fellow newcomer Dorami Nagano.

During June, Narumiya formed the N3 stable with Meari Naito and Neko Nitta, who debuted around the same time as her.

N3 wrestled several matches together during the summer, but lost all of them, including three-on-one handicap matches against Hikaru Shida on June 8 and Tsukasa Fujimoto on June 15.

On December 3, Narumiya was defeated by Hikaru Shida in a singles match.

Afterwards, the two began regularly teaming together, which led to Narumiya winning her first professional wrestling title, when, on December 28, she and Shida defeated Emi Sakura and Tsukushi for the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship.

Narumiya and Shida made their first successful title defense on January 7, 2012, defeating the Lovely Butchers (Hamuko Hoshi and Mochi Miyagi).

The following day, Narumiya took part in Bull Nakano's retirement event, where she and Oz Academy's Akino faced JWP Joshi Puroresu's Kayoko Haruyama and Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling's Ryo Mizunami in a "Guillotine Drop match", based around all four using a variation of the leg drop as their finisher.

Mizunami won the match for her team by pinning Narumiya.

Back in Ice Ribbon, Narumiya and Shida made their second successful defense of the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship on January 25, by defeating Dorami Nagano and Hailey Hatred.

Narumiya's and Shida's reign ended on February 5 at Yokohama Ribbon, when they were defeated by Dropkickers (Tsukasa Fujimoto and Tsukushi).

On February 12, Narumiya made her debut for Union Pro Wrestling, losing to Cherry.

On March 20 at Ice Ribbon March 2012, Narumiya teamed with joshi veteran Toshie Uematsu, in Uematsu's final Ice Ribbon appearance before her retirement, to defeat Hikari Minami and Riho in a tag team match.

At the following major event, Golden Ribbon 2012 on May 5, Narumiya entered the second annual Go!

Go!

Golden Mixed Tag Tournament, teaming with Osaka Pro Wrestling's Masamune.

In their first round match, Narumiya and Masamune defeated the previous year's winning team, Makoto Oishi and Neko Nitta.

After defeating Hikaru Sato and Riho in the semifinals, Narumiya and Masamune advanced to the finals, where they were defeated by Kurumi and Ribbon Takanashi.

On May 19, Narumiya scored an upset pinfall win over her former partner, the reigning ICE×60 Champion Hikaru Shida, in a tag team match, where she teamed with Aki Shizuku and Shida with Tsukasa Fujimoto.

After a non-title match between the two on May 26 ended in a ten-minute time limit draw, Narumiya was named the number one contender to the ICE×60 Championship, provided she could make the 60 kg weight limit.

Narumiya received her first shot at Ice Ribbon's top title on June 17 at the promotion's sixth anniversary event, but was unable dethrone Shida.

On July 7, the N3 stable produced their first own Ice Ribbon event, which saw Narumiya defeat Meari Naito in the main event.

As part of a working relationship between Ice Ribbon and JWP, Narumiya made her debut for JWP on July 8, losing to Hanako Nakamori.

Afterwards, the two agreed to team up in the upcoming JRibbon Natsu Onna Kettei Tournament.

This time the tournament, a JWP staple, was co-produced by JWP and Ice Ribbon, being split up into two "JRibbon" events on July 28; an Ice Ribbon event in the afternoon and a JWP event in the evening.

During the Ice Ribbon event, Narumiya and Nakamori defeated Leon and Neko Nitta to advance to the JWP event, where they defeated Tsukasa Fujimoto and Rabbit Miu in their semifinal match.

Later that same event, Narumiya and Nakamori defeated Arisa Nakajima and Hikaru Shida in the finals to win the 2012 Natsu Onna Kettei Tournament.

After the match, Rabbit Miu, upset about being pinned by Narumiya in the semifinal match, entered the ring and offered her a shot at the JWP Junior and Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championships.

Narumiya accepted the offer and the title match between the two was made official for August 19.

On July 31, Narumiya made her debut for DDT Pro-Wrestling, taking part in an "Ice Ribbon offer match", where she and Tsukushi were defeated by Hikaru Shida and Neko Nitta.

In April 2015, Narumiya transferred over to the Reina Joshi Puroresu promotion, where she already was a one-time holder of both the CMLL-Reina International and CMLL-Reina International Junior Championships.

She retired from professional wrestling in March 2016.

Former dancer and alum of Ochanomizu University, Narumiya began training for a career in professional wrestling under Emi Sakura, who gave her the ring name "Narumiya" after the Chronicles of Narnia films.
