Akira Hokuto
After the hot tag run ended, Takako found herself in the supporting role of a tag team with Yumiko Hotta. On September 5, 1993, she and Hotta won the UWA Tag Team titles from Akira Hokuto and Suzuka Minami. They had a good run, though only defending the titles occasionally, while the AJW brain trust was figuring her future. This caused Inoue to consider retirement. Hotta and Inoue finally lost the titles on March 30, 1994, to Etsuko Mita and Mima Shimoda.
