Biography: There was a time that Saya Onikawa (born Seiko Odate) seemed destined for a dead end life. She dropped out of high school after a month, then fell in with other social rejects to found the biker gang Ponytails. Eventually she grew out of teenage delinquency, but had no real future prospects. At random she found an ad for a dojo holding auditions; without much else to do she went for it and got in. After initial struggles with the training, she's finally found her way in the sport.

Though she's well known to be clumsy, at times awkward and having a mouth that went faster than her brain, Saya has built up a fairly decent fan base for herself. Hard work and sheer force of will pushed her to stardom. As part of Queendom Joshi Pro Wrestling, Saya has had a number of big moments and even won their second most prestigious title. However, she began to feel uncertain about her future after upsetting a veteran who refuses to let the next generation of stars take center stage. Rather than let herself be stifled and limited, Saya shocked everyone by announcing she was going freelance.

While she made several one off appearances around Japan and east Asia, she never quite found a new home base. For the past three months she's been touring the British Isles and couch surfing along the way. Recently an old rival Nana Tsukina came calling out of the blue, asking the woman touted as 'the iconic future of QJPW' to take a shot at a bigger stage again. There was a catch though - she had to learn how to sing and dance. For a chance to reach to top of the mountain after falling down it so many times, Saya's willing to do anything - even become an idol. Though she has fears of toxic fans and is haunted by what ifs, Saya's realized this might be her best chance to establish herself as a world champion level competitor. Even if the singing and dancing is intimidating.

Wrestling

Debut Year: 2015
Trained By: Ponytails Gang, Ichiko Nishi
Style: Grappler/High Flyer/Striker

Strengths:
1. Zombie Wrestler - Saya has made a living out of taking the worst beatings imaginable only to rise back to her feet and suddenly become extra aggressive in pursuit of her opponent's defeat.
2. Fighting Spirit - Saya's the quintessential fiery babyface and doesn't know the meaning of the word quit. This fuels her Zombie Wrestler ability but further drives her to fight on regardless of the odds.
3. Crazy Kicks - Saya's honed her strikes into deadly weapons that can cut someone's momentum short in an instant. Face them at your own peril.

Weaknesses:
1. Head in the clouds - Saya is renown for her clumsiness - tripping over easy avoidable obstacles, falling off stages. This goes hand in hand with sometimes staggering absentmindedness: going to the wrong venue, somehow missing clearly marked exits, etc. All of this because she can get lost in impulsive thoughts and starts acting before her brain catches up.
2. Undersized - Saya is kind of tall back home, but on the global stage she's a bit undersized, especially for intergender competition.
3. Reluctance - Despire her biker past, Saya's reluctant to go back to those violent roots. Even if the situation demands it, or doing so will protect her allies, she resists it because she worked so hard to grow out of it.

An avid musician, she's used some of the earnings from her fighting career to open a music production studio based in Shinjuku.

Upon discovering Saya's Ponytails past and her current presnce in the UK, Nana put on the full court press to recruit Saya into her idol unit.
