Profile:
A martial artist in her formative years and pro wrestling fan, Riku "Cherry" Okano is one of the few known disciples and the only female student of top pro-wrestling star Tatsumichi Akamatsu. Okano was discovered by Akamatsu in the latter half of 2008 when he attended an amateur grappling competition in Tokyo that the then 17 year old was competing in. Although Okano did not win her 18 and Under all female division (losing in the semi-finals), she none the less captured the attention and admiration of her fellow Saitama native, who recruited her into his STRONGHOLD camp. After several months of training with Akamatsu and his partner Makoto Tachibana, Okano was sent to America in 2009 to expand her training with the famed American tandem Stephen Greer and Tyrone Walker (aka Team Danger). Along with the experience gained at the Florida based dojo, she picked up her now trademark red hair and the nickname Cherry while competing for Greer & walker's Danger Zone promotion events that featured a number of America's top female wrestlers along with many of Team Danger's top male graduates. After several months Okano returned to Japan in early 2010 where she completed her training under Akamatsu and now looks to continue her journey with Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's ATTACK GIRLS promotion.
