Hiroyo Matsumoto
In Ibuki, which had the goal of introducing the next generation of "joshi" stars to the world of professional wrestling, Ohata underwent further training under Yoshida alongside the likes of Hiroyo Matsumoto, Ray and Tomoka Nakagawa, while also forming the tag team Seven Star Sisters (3S) with Matsumoto. During late 2007 and early 2008, Ohata also began making appearances for various independent promotions, including Ice Ribbon, JWP Joshi Puroresu, Oz Academy, Pro Wrestling Wave and Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling. In July 2008, Ohata represented Ibuki at the Japan Expo in France.
