After spending two years training at the JWP Dojo, Bolshoi made her professional wrestling debut for the Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (JWP) promotion on November 26, 1991, teaming with Mami Kitamura in a tag team match, where the two faced Hikari Fukuoka and Reiko Hoshino. Originally she worked under a clown mask and the ring name "Bolshoi Kid", named after the Russian Bolshoi Circus. The following year, after the original JWP folded, she began working for its follow-up promotion, JWP Joshi Puroresu, reinventing herself as "Command Bolshoi" in the process, though still disguising herself under a mask. To this day, she continues to occasionally work under her Bolshoi Kid persona. After Cutie Suzuki, Devil Masami, Dynamite Kansai and Mayumi Ozaki all quit JWP, Bolshoi became the promotion's new president, while also becoming a trainer at the promotion's dojo. Bolshoi won her first title in JWP in 1999, when she and Rieko Amano won the JWP Tag Team Championship. The following year on August 6, Bolshoi defeated Ran Yu-Yu to win JWP's top title, the JWP Openweight Championship. After a seven-month reign, she lost the title to Azumi Hyuga. During the next year, Bolshoi went on to win the JWP Tag Team Championship two more times with Azumi Hyuga and Gami. From July 2002 to April 2009, Bolshoi went completely without any titles, before she and Megumi Yabushita defeated Keito and Yumiko Hotta for not only the JWP Tag Team Championship, but also the Daily Sports Women's Tag Team Championship.
