Mayumi Ozaki
She was born November 7, 1969, in Toride, Ibaraki. A magazine model at the time, she possessed an athletic background in track and field and amateur wrestling. She failed her first audition for AJW but trained with Mayumi Ozaki. While she failed her first AJW audition, she passed the second screening for the music group, Onyanko Club. Ozaki passed her audition for Japan Women's Pro Wrestling and invited Takako to join, but she declined. She then passed her AJW audition and joined in October, 1987, where she was trained by Jaguar Yokota. Takako made her debut on October 8, 1988, against (not related) fellow rookie and future tag team partner Kyoko Inoue for the All Japan Women’s Pro-Wrestling (AJW) promotion.
