On July 5, 2009, Fuka returned to NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling, teaming with Yoshiko Tamura in the Mid Summer Tag Tournament VIII. After defeating the teams of Aya Yuki and Minori Makiba, and Ayumi Kurihara and Kana, Fuka and Tamura were defeated in the finals of the tournament by Emi Sakura and Nanae Takahashi. On October 21, Fuka surprisingly announced that she would be retiring from professional wrestling the following spring. "Fuka Matsuri 12" took place on December 23 and saw Fuka being defeated by Meiko Satomura in the main event. On February 25, 2010, Fuka returned to Mexico as part of her retirement tour, working under her Tigre Fuka persona at an International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) event in a tag team match, where she and Flor Metalica defeated La Diabólica and Lady Metal. Three days later, she promoted her Mexican retirement event in Tlalnepantla de Baz. The thirteenth and final "Fuka Matsuri" took place on March 28 in Tokyo's Korakuen Hall, and featured Fuka's retirement match, in which she was defeated by Nanae Takahashi.
