Solitary Genius Princess
  • Affiliation: NJWP, JWI
  • From: Shizuoka Prefecture
  • Birthday: April 4
  • Height: 165 CM
  • BWH: 84/56/87
  • Specialty: Acrobatic moves
  • Finishing Move: Frankensteiner, Shining Wizard

One of the selectable protagonists of 2 and V2, Megumi is a former track star who while on a visit to Tokyo, happened upon the NJWP tryouts, joined in on a lark and passed with flying colors. After becoming best friends and rivals with fellow rookie Chigusa Yuuki, Megumi participates in the NJWP/JWI brand war and trains in Europe, Mexico and America before becoming embroiled in the dispute over the IWWF Tag Team Championship. Teaming up with Chigusa, she usurps the titles and cements herself as a true main eventer.


  • Characterization Marches On: In earlier games she was a loner who nonetheless had a positive and cheerful attitude as well as a hot temper. Come Survivor, she instead became much more quiet and openly sarcastic.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Mostly towards people who rub her the wrong way or mess with Chigusa.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: Her loner qualities are dialed up a bit in Survivor. Thus her repartee with the President comes across as this.
  • Expy: Keiji Mutoh & Megumi Kudo
  • In-Series Nickname: "Mutome"
  • Intelligence Equals Isolation: Intelligent and talented, but something of a loner with few friends besides Chigusa before getting into wrestling. She expounds on this in her vacation event in Survivor, saying that she's never really felt the need to have many (while making a passing comment that "she"note  has a lot). When the President brings up that it's nice to have people you get along with, she announces that she'll just be friends with him. ...Right before asking him to treat her to food at the hotel restaurant, because what are friends for?
  • Lovely Angels: With Chigusa
  • Masked Wrestler: If Chigusa is chosen as the protagonist in V2, Megumi follows her to Europe while "disguised" as the mysterious masked wrestler Bushido. Chigusa sees through the masquerade almost instantly.
  • Mini Dress Of Power: Coupled with Too Many Belts in her Survivor redesign.
  • Odd Friendship: Quick to speak her mind, enjoys great natural talent, and is something of an aloof loner... Completely opposite of her best friend Chigusa.
  • Shrinking Violet: Her personality as of Survivor has elements of this. She's somewhat noticeably meek when giving statements following tournament victories or awards ceremonies.
  • The Tease: Gives a fake love confession to the President in her second private event in Survivor 2 just to see how he'll react.
  • Violently Protective Girlfriend: The official gag 4koma for Survivor 2 heavily imply that she considers Chigusa to be her romantic partner to the point of commenting a wedding dress wouldn't look good on Chigusa because she's furious that one day her best friend would marry and leave her.

  • Height: 161 CM
  • BWH: 85/58/88
  • Specialty: Throwing moves
  • Finishing Move: Capture Suplex, Back Drop

The other selectable protagonist of 2 and V2. A young hopeful who came to Tokyo to try out to wrestle for NJWP, she loses her way in the big city and ends up being helped by Megumi Mutou, who also decides to try out. After passing, she and Megumi become best friends and rivals, eventually teaming up to capture the IWWF Tag Team Championship. An avid baseball fan, she starts a grasslot team among her friends at NJWP, playing Right Field... but she's notably bad at this sport despite her athletic ability.


  • Bridal Carry: Receives two from the President in her private events in Survivor 2 after hurting herself during training.
  • Demoted to Extra: While she is part of the roster for Survivor, she has the "honor" of being the only returning character from previous games to not have any events or an alternate persona.
  • The Ditz: A bit.
  • Expy: Chigusa Nagayonote  & Masahiro Chounonote 
  • Girlish Pigtails: In all of her appearances except Survivor. They were brought back in much shorter form for Survivor 2
  • Hypercompetent Sidekick: To Rei Tomizawa as SJW's sub dorm captain in V3.
  • In-Series Nickname: "Chidane"note 
  • Lovely Angels: With Megumi.
  • Masked Wrestler: If Megumi is chosen as the protagonist in V2, Chigusa follows her to Europe while "disguised" as the mysterious masked wrestler Yawara. Megumi sees through the masquerade almost instantly.
  • Mini Dress Of Power: Gained one resembling a Sailor Fuku as part of her Survivor 2 redesign.
  • Nice Girl: A total sweetheart.
  • Odd Friendship: Is obedient, an extremely hard worker, and gets along well with many different kinds of people... Almost totally opposite of her best friend Megumi.
  • Plucky Girl: Will take whatever beatings and losses life may throw at her, but never breaks under pressure. This is reflected in her generally having a higher Guts stat than Megumi, resulting in more frequent Special category card draws.
  • Spirited Competitor: Both she and Megumi have elements of this, but it's more apparent for Chigusa.

The Fighting Philosophy Girl
  • Affiliation: World, NJWP, JWI
  • From: Nagano Prefecture
  • Birthday: November 11
  • Height: 156 CM
  • BWH: 80/56/82
  • Specialty: Submission moves
  • Finishing Move: STF, Stretch Plum, Fisherman Suplex, Frankensteiner

A relative newcomer who joined NJWP after Yukiko became its star wrestler. Training under Toshimi Minami, she becomes a capable user of submission holds while also studying for various qualification exams in order to prepare for life after her wrestling career ends. Retsuden establishes that during the events of V1, she originally wrestled for the Osaka-based promotion World Women's Pro Wrestling prior to that organization's collapse. In 2/V2 she accompanies Toshimi in temporarily leaving NJWP for JWI.


  • Badass Bookworm: An avid reader who can still kick ass.
  • Crazy-Prepared: She's aware that the shelf life of a pro wrestler is rather short, so whenever she's not training or in the ring, she's studying for qualification exams. What kind of qualification exams? All of them. In Survivor 2, this results in her possessing the "Singing Ability" skill, upping her chances of receiving offers to appear in movies and commercials and CD recordings.
  • Expy: Yoshinari Ogawa. The fandom seems to think she's also got quite a bit of Ami Mizuno in her.
  • Lovable Nerd: Of the intellectual type.
  • The Rival: To Riyu Kikuchi
  • Shy Blue-Haired Girl: Downplayed. She's more reserved than outright shy.

  • Height: 165 CM
  • BWH: 82/61/86
  • Specialty: Striking moves
  • Finishing Move: Enzuigeri

Daughter of a kendo master and Megumi and Chigusa's senior at NJWP. Strict and unwavering, she has a tendency to attempt to enforce order and morals on those around her, especially the trio of Chizuru Nagahara, Rei Tomizawa and Cutey Kanai. During the brand wars, she steadfastly remains with NJWP while being the most vocally outraged at the members who leave for JWI.


  • Badass Longcoat: Her entrance attire includes one.
  • Berserk Button: Breaking (or even bending) rules is a big one for her.
  • Expy: Shiro Koshinaka.
  • Kid Samurai: A nearly religious kendo practicioner and Heir to the Dojo. She also tends to talk big without much experience to back it up.
  • Hachimaki: It's rare to see her without one.
  • Lawful Stupid: Takes it upon herself to zealously "enforce morals" amongst the other girls and will lecture them for even the smallest perceived transgressions. This also tends to lead her to rebel if she feels that the organization she's with isn't up to her standards.
  • Red Baron: "Steel Defense"
  • Sarashi: Her preferred undergarment. The President walking in on her training with nothing on over it triggers Tsundere outbursts in her Survivor 2 private events.
  • Stone Wall: Her starting defensive stats are always moderately high... At the cost of her offense and speed being much poorer than those of her contemporaries.
  • Suicidal Overconfidence: Very, very prone to this.
  • Super Drowning Skills: Discovered by the President during her vacation scene in Survivor when he playfully pushes Shinobu into the water, only for her to struggle and sink. After he manages to pull her back to shallow water, she calls him a murderer and asks if he was trying to get her killed.

  • Wooden Katanas Are Even Better: She's always seen carrying her shinai around during her entrances.

  • Gorgeous Gaijin: She's an All-American Face with a tall, toned, curvy body.
  • Jack of All Stats: Though in terms of technique categories, she leans towards power and acrobatic moves, she can still handle most moves (aside from submission holds) more than adequately.
  • Lovely Angels: Forms a tag team with the protagonist in 2/V2 in a show of cross-cultural friendship.
  • Stripperiffic: Her redesign for Survivor 2 left her with a flag-patterned bikini that probably conceals less skin than her mask.
  • Wearing a Flag on Your Head: More often than not, it's her ring attire which bears the iconic stars and stripes. In the V-series, it was taken to extremes with even her mask having the flag's pattern, along with a big yellow "USA" stamped on the forehead.

  • Impossibly-Low Neckline: In 2 and Bishoujo Wrestler Retsuden.
  • Master of None: Aside from her great ability in submission moves, she routinely has little to work with aside from a general lack of weaknesses.
