Yumiko Hotta
Trained by Emi Sakura, Hoshi made her professional wrestling debut for her Ice Ribbon promotion on April 12, 2008, wrestling Makoto to a three-minute time limit draw. Billed as an exhibition match, Hoshi wrestled several more three-minute matches during the next month, before making her "official" debut on May 11, losing to Kazumi Shimouna. She picked up her first win on July 14, defeating Haruna Akagi. On December 7, Hoshi first made her debut for NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling, which had a close relationship with Ice Ribbon, and later that same day for JWP Joshi Puroresu. During the next two years, she would make semi-regular appearances for NEO. On May 4, 2009, Hoshi received a chance to wrestle her idol, freelancer Yumiko Hotta, at an Ice Ribbon event, losing the match in just four minutes. During 2009, Hoshi, Haruna Akagi and Kazumi Shimouna formed the Zasso Girls stable.
