At the tender age of just 16-year-old, Manami Toyota began her professional wrestling debut in the All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling league(AJW) in 1987. And since that day on, she's been a force to be reckoned with. Her ability to sprint towards the ropes, balance on the top rope, and flip off of the rope towards her opponent is one of the most daring moves executed in all of wrestling. Toyota has all the tools that any organization would want in a wrestler, agility, strength, finesse, poise, and beauty. Not to mention one of the most intriguing finishers in the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex.
The Masuda, Shimane, Japan-bred wrestler recently retired in November 2017 at the age of 46-years-old. Toyota is a proud member of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame and has a long list of accolades that are amongst the best not in just amongst women, but all wrestlers in general. Manami Toyota is a 4x Japan Grand Prix winner, a one-time AJW Champion, 2x All-Pacific Champion, one-time IWA World Women's Champion, 4x WWWA World Single Championship and 3x WWWA World Tag Team Champion alongside Toshiyo Yamada twice and Mima Shimoda once.
