Misaki Ohata

Misaki Oishi (大石 美咲), better known by her maiden name Misaki Ohata (大畠 美咲), is a Japanese retired professional wrestler.

She is best known for her work while signed to the Zabun production company and its two promotions; Pro Wrestling Wave and Osaka Joshi Pro Wrestling.

She is a former one-time Wave Single Champion and a three-time Wave Tag Team Champion.

She also works behind the scenes as Zabun's human resources director.

She also made regular appearances for Michinoku Pro Wrestling, where she performed under a mask and the ring name Yapper Man #3 (ヤッペーマン3号).

In the past, she has also made appearances for American promotion Shimmer Women Athletes, where she is a former Shimmer Tag Team Champion.

On February 14, the group was renamed Black Dahlia, after the 1947 murder case, with Ohata positioned as the de facto leader.

In July, Ohata made it to the finals of the Catch the Wave tournament, before losing to Kana.

During the next few months, Black Dahlia was joined by Ayako Hamada, Cherry, and Hanako Nakamori, with Apple Miyuki, A★YU★MI, Kyoko Kimura, Moeka Haruhi, and Nagisa Nozaki making one-time appearances as members of the stable.

In January 2006, Ohata relocated from her hometown of Sendai to Tokyo, in order to begin training professional wrestling under Mariko Yoshida at the dojo of the JDStar promotion.

On October 25, 2006, Ohata passed an audition held in front of Yoshida, JDStar owner Rossy Ogawa and booker Daisuke Kobayashi and graduated from the dojo, eventually becoming the dojo's final graduate.

She made her professional wrestling debut on December 10, 2006, facing Hiroyo Matsumoto in a losing effort.

Ohata's career started with a losing streak, typical for a rookie in Japanese professional wrestling, which ended on April 30, 2007, when she defeated Kaori Ohki.

On June 18, JDStar, which had recently been battling financial difficulties, announced that Ohata would be transferring over to Mariko Yoshida's Ibuki promotion following the July 16 event, which would also turn out to be JDStar's final event.

In Ibuki, which had the goal of introducing the next generation of joshi stars to the world of professional wrestling, Ohata underwent further training under Yoshida alongside the likes of Hiroyo Matsumoto, Ray and Tomoka Nakagawa, while also forming the tag team Seven Star Sisters (3S) with Matsumoto.

During late 2007 and early 2008, Ohata also began making appearances for various independent promotions, including Ice Ribbon, JWP Joshi Puroresu, Oz Academy, Pro Wrestling Wave and Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling.

After only making few appearances per year for Pro Wrestling Wave since 2007, Ohata began working for the promotion more regularly in late 2009.

In July 2008, Ohata represented Ibuki at the Japan Expo in France.

On May 31, 2009, Ohata defeated Dash Chisako at Ibuki #29 to become the number one contender to the JWP Junior and Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championships.

Later that same day, Ohata defeated Hiroyo Matsumoto to win the titles.

On July 12, Ohata made her first successful title defense, defeating Io Shirai at Ibuki #30.

On November 8 at Ibuki #32, Ohata unsuccessfully challenged Emi Sakura for Ice Ribbon's ICE×60 Championship.

On December 20, Ohata lost the JWP Junior and Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championships to Ryo Mizunami at a Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling event.

On December 23, 2009, Ohata teamed with Moeka Haruhi to defeat Io and Mio, the Shirai sisters, for the TLW World Young Women's Tag Team Championship.

In early 2010, Ibuki ceased its operations, after which Ohara began working as a freelancer on the Japanese independent circuit.

They would hold the title for six months, before losing it to Bambi and Basara on July 4, 2010.

Having worked her entire career as a cute babyface, January 2011 saw Ohata undergo a character overhaul, when she turned heel and came together with Bambi, Hiren and Yumi Ohka to form the Black Wave stable.

On September 4, Ohata teamed with Mio Shirai in the Dual Shock Wave 2011 tournament, which was used to determine the first ever Wave Tag Team Champions, but the team, billed as "Plus Minus 0", was eliminated in their first round match by Gami and Tomoka Nakagawa.

After the conclusion of the tournament, Ohata and Shirai received the first shot at the new champions, Ayumi Kurihara and Kana, but were defeated in their title match on December 11.

However, until August 2012 she remained affiliated with Ibuki's production company, S Ovation, through which she, Hiroyo Matsumoto and Tomoka Nakagawa produced their own independent events under the banner of "Joshi 4 Hope".

On April 30, 2012, Ohata and Black Dahlia stablemate Hanako Nakamori were put in a match to determine the new Wave Tag Team Champions, there they were, however, defeated by the team of Gami and Tomoka Nakagawa.

On May 4, Ohata entered the 2012 Catch the Wave tournament, where she wrestled in a round-robin block made up of members of Black Dahlia.

After wins over Hanako Nakamori and Cherry and a loss against Tsukasa Fujimoto, Ohata was defeated by Yumi Ohka on June 17 and, as a result, failed to advance from her block.

However, on July 1, Ohata defeated eleven other eliminated competitors in a battle royal to earn her way back into the semifinals of the tournament.

On July 16, Ohata was eliminated from the tournament in the semifinals by Ryo Mizunami.

On July 27, Black Dahlia and rival group White Tails wrestled to a draw in a five-on-five gauntlet match, from which Ohata was eliminated after wrestling Mio Shirai to a ten-minute time limit draw.

Afterwards, Ohata blamed her stablemates in the match, specifically Yumi Ohka, for Black Dahlia not winning the match, noting that they were all in their thirties.

She then recruited the 24-year-old Mio Shirai to the stable; Shirai, however, announced that she would also remain a member of White Tails.

The two groups then agreed that the stable which would manage to draw fewer people to their self-produced Wave event, which would take place August 7 and 8, would disband.

The Black Dahlia event was headlined by an eight-woman tag team match between the stable's two generations.
