Always worth every single penny.
- Bash Sisters: With Bomber Kishima.
- Big Eater: Even among wrestlers who are this by default, Yukiko's appetite is huge.
- Bully Hunter: Was always getting into fights with random thugs before meeting Dragon Fujiko and getting involved in wrestling. Even after this, she makes it a point to go against characters with bully-like tendencies. This is part of why her personality clashes with Beauty Ichigaya's.

- Leotard of Power: Wears a strapless one, sometimes under a jacket.
- Jack of All Stats / Lightning Bruiser: Usually hovers somewhere in between these two competitive types.

- No Guy Wants an Amazon: After the President reacts somewhat indifferently to seeing her without a top on (covered only by a strategically placed towel) in her private events in Survivor 2, she comes to the conclusion that this must be the reason and resolves to become so fine a lady that it'll surprise even him.
- The Rival: To Beauty Ichigaya.
- Red Baron: She's got a lot of these, including "Blazing Queen", "Unrivaled Goddess" and "The Perfect Ace"
- Seashell Bra: Plays around with a makeshift one during her vacation scene in Survivor.
- Spirited Competitor: This is where a lot of her Hot-Blooded and Determinator qualities ultimately stem from.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Curry. So much so that every other post from her Twitter bot is musings about what kinds of curry she's eating, eaten, or wants to eat.

"I'll give it my best again today!"
A former national champion at karate, she challenged Panther Risako to a match in order to prove her belief that karate is the strongest martial art, only to be defeated. However, she fell in love with wrestling and polished up her skills in submission moves and although she lost her title of "Venus of Submission" to Toshimi Minami, she is still considered a force to be reckoned with.- 10-Minute Retirement: Retired between 1/V1 and 2/V2, but can be convinced to return to active duty in 3/Super/DI.
- In V2, she is still retired, but has a position at JWI as a trainer and Combat Commentator
- Arrogant Kung Fu Girl: A tiny bit. She challenged Panther Risako with the intent of showing off how much more powerful than a pro wrestler a karateka is. However, she lost, and...
- Brutal Honesty: Her dialogue as a color commentator in V2 is comprised of this and virtually nothing else. To the point where her calling out Beauty Ichigaya on her selfishness and commending the chosen protagonist for dropkicking her could be seen as in-universe Biting-the-Hand Humor.
- Defeat Means Friendship: ...Instead fell in love with wrestling.
- Lap Pillow: Does this for the President in her private events in Survivor 2, the twist here being that it comes about as a result of her accidentally knocking him out while practicing her submission moves on him.

- Mistaken for Gay: In V1, Kishima admits to Yukiko that she "likes" somebody, wording it in such a way that the latter misinterprets it as Kishima having a crush on a girl and assumes she's confessing to Yukiko herself. Kishima clarifies by saying that she likes a young fan they met earlier, and Yukiko then accuses her of being a paedophile, which Kishima vehemently denies, stating that she just likes hanging out with kids and was hoping to play the boy's Cool Big Sis.
- Red Baron: "Miss Big Bang"
- Smashing Watermelons: In her vacation scene in Survivor. She brings a lot, and the President compares seeing her covered in watermelon juice to the sight of a bloody serial killer...

- Eyes Always Shut: She only opens them in her "hurt" portrait and humiliation CG in the first game, and her regular portraits in Super, Double Impact, and Bishoujo Wrestler Retsuden.
- Friendly Enemy: When Yukiko forms the Revolutionary Army in V1, Hikaru continues to treat her as a friend despite being part of the regular roster and thus opposed to her. Hikaru claims that just because they're enemies in the ring doesn't mean that they can't stay friends outside of it.

Defeated by Yukiko, she decides to join up with NJW and later joins Yukiko's Revolutionary Army Power Stable. A top-class competetor who took the "Venus of Submission" title from Mimi Yoshihara, she's also been a top wrestler for Beauty Ichigaya's short lived JWI and Haruka Date's WOLF promotion.- Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Her general image.

- Badass Boast: "I'll show you... The southern cross which shines in the ring!"
- Her vacation event in the former has her get lost while riding around on a southern island. She thinks about going to ask the police for help, only to remember that she could get in trouble for being an underage driver, leading to her fleeing and getting further lost. When she fails to return before sundown, the President heads out and finds her a few towns over.
- Her personal events in the latter have her showing off her bike to the President. After hearing him mention interest in riding with her someday in the first, she works hard to get her license, which she proudly shows to him in the second.
- Defeat Means Friendship: Came to challenge NJWP members out of pure curiosity and wound up enrolling as a member herself after losing to Yukiko.
- Ice Queen: Default state, can be made into a Defrosting Ice Queen bordering on type B Tsundere in Survivor.

- Leotard of Power: Wears a purple, high-necked one.

- Odd Friendship: Bizarrely, no-nonsense Toshimi gets along pretty well with Ichigaya.
- The Perfectionist: Fueled by a desire To Be a Master.
- Red Baron: "The Venus of Submission"
- Spirited Competitor: Though it's hard to tell under her steely calm.
- Wild Card: She tends to do things on a whim. Her joining up with NJWP, becoming part of the above-mentioned Power Stable, and later joining up with WOLF can all be attributed to this.

"I'll give it my best again today, nyan!"
A good-natured, cat loving wrestler serving as NJW dorm captain when Yukiko entered the promotion. She would later leave the dorms to live with her boyfriend, retiring to marry him. She comes out of retirement to assist in the formation of Blade Uehara's Pacific Women's Pro Wrestling promotion alongside Mimi Yoshihara.- Badass Adorable: Cute as a kitten, dangerous as a wildcat.

- Kind Hearted Cat Lover: To the point that her love of cats influenced her choice of ring name.
- Master of None: In the very first game, her stats were completely average or below average across the board. In a game whose battle system revolves around picking at an opponent's weaknesses, a lack of advantages is a big disadvantage.

"After all, I'm a totally invincible idol, y'know?"
An idol wrestler who cares more about winning popularity contests than matches. She retired once to focus on idol work, but returned to the ring upon noticing the popularity of other up and coming idol wrestlers like Cutey Kanai.- Brilliant, but Lazy: She has the potential for awesomeness, but as demonstrated in V1, she hates training and thus begins nearly every game in the lower
Character Tiers. - The Cutie: By and large her niche within the first game's cast.
- Idol Wrestler: The first of many in the series.
- Magikarp Power: While every character has a bit of this going on, Hitomi's low-ish starting stats coupled with how relatively easy said stats are to raise to high levels makes her a standout example.
- Pimped-Out Dress: The fancy kimono she wears as her entrance attire. It apparently cost several million yen.
- Red Baron: "The Invincible Idol"
- 10-Minute Retirement: Left wrestling to pursue a career as a television personality. She can be convinced to return from 3 on.

"I'll show you the power of the Kamikaze Fighter!"
Yukiko's kouhai and self-proclaimed number one student. A determined girl whose gentle demeanor belies a never-say-die spirit, she gives her utmost in every bout. She also stands steadfast as a member of NJW, remaining with the group throughout story-driven games until her retirement due to injury in Special.- Badass Adorable: As a junior wrestler, this is pretty much a given.
- Cool Teacher: Sets up a wrestling school in Los Angeles after her retirement. The main characters of V3 are sent there to train abroad.
- A Day in the Limelight: She's the star of a spin-off novel based on the events of 1.
- Determinator: She picked this up from Yukiko and absolutely runs with it.
- Expy: Of Tsuyoshi Kikuchi
. - Game-Breaking Injury: Suffers a neck fracture during the events of Special and is forced to retire.
- Hachimaki: Part of her signature look. Her second private event in Survivor has her dragging the President out to buy her a new one while mumbling to herself about how having one he bought her would inspire her to fight even harder.
- Happily Married: She marries post-retirement in Special and V3.
- Innocent Blue Eyes: As a sign of her initial inexperience and naivety.
- Masked Wrestler: Her novel has her staying in Mexico for a time, competing as the masked luchadora "La Perfecta."

"I feel sorry for you, but... this is the end!"
Once Panther Risako's tag team partner and best friend, their differing opinions about their futures as wrestlers lead to a breakup. Blade challenged Risako for the Asia Heavyweight Championship, but lost and disappeared from the Japanese wrestling scene for a time. After returning to Japan, she accepts an offer from JWI to wrestle for them as a free agent and later a promotion of her own: Pacific Women's Pro Wrestling.- Big Ol' Eyebrows: Starting in V1
- Charlie Brown from Outta Town: Em Sando. Subverted a little bit in that she took up the mask and name in a completely different country.
- Civil War: Minor version. Blade starts one with Beauty Ichigaya in order to knock her down a peg in V2. The player can choose which one to side with, but in the end, Beauty defeats her in their decisive bout and Blade is sent packing.
- Hidden Character: In the first game. After defeating her at the end of chapter 2, she offers to join the player's stable. However, in order to add her to the team, the player must discard one of his current members.
- Lesser Star: Minor version. While she isn't quite as famous or respected as Risako, she still has dedicated fans and is recognized as a greatly talented wrestler in her own right. Her private events in Survivor 2 reveal that she still has a bit of an inferiority complex and wonders every day whether or not she still has what it takes to compete, with both her opponents in general and Risako in particular.
- Loser Leaves Town: How she saw her confrontation with Risako. Thus, she exiled herself to Mexico and took up the Em Sando persona.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: Zigzagged. Her Reveal as being a Japanese wrestler and Risako's former partner was a genuinely surprising Plot Twist in the first game. When the story was revisited in V1 and Bishoujo Wrestler Retsuden, the addition of a mask does very little to fool the player, as she still wears the same costumes as her unmasked persona.
- Red Baron: "Okinawan Eagle"
- Start My Own: Started up the minor league promotion Pacific Ocean Women's Pro Wrestlingnote following the events of 2/V2, but the group couldn't compete with NJWP and eventually folded, leaving Blade as a free agent.
- Walking Spoiler: Knowing everything about her greatly spoils the first game and its remakes.

- BWH: 94/60/96
- Specialty: Power moves
- Finishing Move: Beauty Bomb (Powerbomb)
"Ohh-ho-ho-ho! You're 1,000,000 Years Too Early to defeat me!"
The daughter of the head of a world-class conglomerate and a national judo champion herself, she was scouted as a wrestler by NJW and entered the promotion without having to pass an exam. Rivals with Yukiko ever since the latter got into an argument with her at her own press conference, she's constantly coming up with schemes to one-up Yukiko and prove her own superiority.- Attention Whore: This is a woman who wants it all, especially the limelight.
- Fake Boss: In 1, V1, and Bishoujo Wrestler Retsuden.
- The Fighting Narcissist: It's rather telling that she chose her own ringname.
- Final Boss: Alongside Jena Megalight in 2 and V2.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: She allows the other girls to bury her up to her neck in the sand during her vacation event in Survivor after they lie to her, saying that it's a game the working class like to play at the beach. The President finds her enjoying her "popularity", only to notice that several insults have been scrawled on the sand covering her body. He decides not to tell her the truth.
- Genius Ditz: She can be incredibly spacy due to her Upper-Class Twit tendencies, but not only is she a top class wrestler and a former world judo champion, but she also has enough business sense to run her own wrestling promotion (if only for a short while).
- It's All About Me: Like many a Rich Bitch before her, Ichigaya has a very difficult time processing that there are things that don't revolve around her.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She may be stuck up, selfish, and an airhead, but she's fiercely protective of those she calls her own.
- Lovable Alpha Bitch: Later games steer her in this direction.
- Mad Libs Catch Phrase: "...My [extremely exaggerated number of] fans across the nation!"
- Noblewoman's Laugh: She absolutely loves making use of this.
- Ojou: Second type. So very, very much. She also has a bit of Upper-Class Twit in her.
- Ojou Ringlets: Largely confined to her sidelocks.
- Red Baron: "The World's Most Stuck Up Woman"
- Rich Bitch: If you're this far down, it might be more than a little obvious.
- The Rival: To Yukiko.
- Shameless Fanservice Girl: In the series' nukige entries, Ichigaya is never seen to be embarassed in any of her loss CGs, and seems to simply be revelling in the attention she's getting.
- Sore Loser: She will never admit that any opponent has managed to beat her clearly, either claiming that she wasn't feeling 100% or that they must have cheated somehow. The height of this is shown in 2 and V2, where she is so upset that her self-started promotion slightly less popular than NJWP due to the latter's ace (Yukiko) possessing the world championship belt that she challenges Yukiko to a title match. When she loses, she claims that Yukiko influenced the referee somehow. When the crowd starts booing her for her inability to accept her own shortcomings, she is quick to exclaim that her hated rival must have gotten to them, too!
- Start My Own: Attempted to start her own promotion, JWInote in 2 and V2, taking a large number of NJWP wrestlers with her. Although the chosen protagonist may choose to side with her, Ichigaya's selfishness and Sore Loser tendencies end up causing the organization to fold.
- Statuesque Stunner: 5cm taller than Bomber Kishima, making her routinely the tallest competitor amongst the Japanese cast.
- 10-Minute Retirement: After the incident under Sore Loser, Ichigaya claims that she wants nothing more to do with such a "rigged" sport and retires from wrestling, supposedly to become a car racer... Only this was a feint and what she was actually doing was sneaking off to America to find herself the ultimate partner so as to return to Japan and dominate the tag division instead.
- Training from Hell: Absolutely loves dishing this out to any girl unfortunate to be her kouhai. Examples are seen in V2, where she does this to the protagonist should she choose to join JWI, and V3, where she takes Satomi Kojima under her wing.

"Can you endure this technique? I wonder."
The Ace of NJWP and its champion. However, an incident involving the previous champion causes her to start holding back and she refuses to challenge for the world championship, which first leads to her own tag partner and friend quitting the promotion, then a revolt by several of the younger wrestlers spearheaded by Yukiko. After losing the Asia Heavyweight Championship to Yukiko, she retires and becomes an executive at NJW and its ringside commentator, eventually marrying her broadcast partner "Foul Tip" Fukuzawa.- 10-Minute Retirement: Actually went through with this following Yukiko's capture of the world championship, taking up a desk job at NJWP, as well as serving as a Combat Commentator.

- Heroic BSoD: Suffers a minor one after causing Dragon Fujiko's Game-Breaking Injury in V1. Although she continues to wrestle, she holds back out of fear of the same thing happening again. This causes her longtime friend Blade Uehara to bail on her and Yukiko to start up her Power Stable in hopes of forcing Risako to get out of her funk.
- Lady of War: She's beautiful, refined and elegant in her demeanor, but she's still a wrestler and WILL kick your ass.

"I'll teach you the true meaning of pro wrestling."
A mysterious masked wrestler who suddenly appears on the scene and makes quick work of Beauty Ichigaya, usurping the latter's recently accquired IWWF Heavyweight Championship. Believing herself to be the mightiest wrestler of all, she announces the opening of the Athena Crown tournament, the winner of which will be allowed to challenge her for the belt. Following her loss to Yukiko, she continues to terrorize the American circuits as a monster heel.
- Amazonian Beauty: She's got the physique, and the few games where her mask has been removed reveal her to be very easy on the eyes.
- The Dreaded: She's treated as this in later games after her frightful first outing.
- Final Boss: Of 1, Bishoujo Wrestler Retsuden, and V1.
- Lightning Bruiser: Fittingly for a Final Boss.
- Masked Luchador: As a result of her Multiple-Choice Past.
- Multiple-Choice Past: Retsuden gives two possible origins for her.
- The route for ending 8 has her true identity as Maria Lordon, a lowcarder who gets fed up with not being taken seriously and decides to reinvent herself. This is further supported by Maria being a statistically much weaker version of Chaos who somewhat resembles her and disappears from the rosters partway through the game no matter which route is taken.
- However, the ending 9 route implies that she's actually Yuri Katsuragi, the Missing Mom of Blizzard Yuki, whom this route is exclusive to.
- Gains an additional past in Ai, wherein she is the daughter of a promotion owner whose best friend (Sophie Sierra) is the subject of targeted bullying and takes on the Chaos persona in order to find and punish the perpetrator. She later decides to make her debut and keeps the mask and persona so as not to recieve special treatment because of her connections.
- Odd Friendship: Ai and Survivor 2 reveal her to be friends with Sophie Sierra and Hibiki Izayoi.
- Parts Unknown: Where she's billed from.
- Recurring Boss: Though a couple of stronger opponents have appeared throughout the series, Darkstar always remains a serious obstacle to reaching the top, generally holding the title belt of the second best foreign organization.
- Statuesque Stunner: 177cm.
