Career
She is best known for her work with the ARSION professional wrestling promotion, where she was also head trainer. Yoshida debuted for All Japan Women"s Pro-Wrestling (AJW or Zenjo) on October 10, 1988 at Tokyo"s Korakuen Hall in a match against Keiko Waki. Before her neck injury in late 1992, which would cause her to miss two years of ring time, Yoshida was easily one of the best young stars in AJW, often showcasing Lucha Libre inspired aerial maneuvers to go along with her matwork skills.
In 1997, she left AJW to join Aja Kong"s ARSION promotion, becoming their head trainer.
There she was repackaged as a technical wrestling master, and was pushed as a major star. She has been nicknamed ARSION no Shinjutsu, or "ARSION True Heart".
Forgoing the high-flying techniques of her run in Zenjo, her style in ARSION was centered around mat wrestling and submission holds derived from shoot wrestling, along with more elaborate lucha-inspired submissions. In June 2005, she launched Ibuki, a bi-monthly event series, with her intention to provide opportunities for young, up and coming wrestlers from different promotions to compete with each other and to challenge senior wrestlers like Yoshida herself.
Ibuki has now gained high reputation among joshi puroresu fans in Japan.
