Kaori Yoneyama
The twenty-first Tag League the Best was held between January 9 and April 8, 2012, and was contested for the Daily Sports Women's and JWP Tag Team Championships, which were taken off Hailey Hatred and Kaori Yoneyama on January 9 as punishment for Yoneyama going back on her claim to retire at the end of 2011. Moon Mizuki was injured mid-tournament; as a result, she and her partner Manami Katsu were forced to forfeit their last two matches.
