context_page_description: Chii Tomiya is a Japanese professional wrestler, best known for her work in the Ice Ribbon promotion. Trained by Emi Sakura, Tomiya made her debut for Ice Ribbon in October 2008 and during the next three years went on to become a one-time International Ribbon Tag Team and Internet Wrestling 19 Champion, while also holding DDT Pro-Wrestling's Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship once. In August 2011, Tomiya left Ice Ribbon and became a freelancer, adopting the new ring name Micro in the process. As a freelancer, she would most notably work for the Reina X World promotion, where she wrestled as the masked character Mini Tomato. In September 2013, she signed with the new World Pro-Wrestling Association promotion, adopting the new ring name Akubi in the process. Standing at only 1.42 m, she is one of the shortest wrestlers in all of puroresu.
context_section_description: On September 11, 2008, Tomiya moved from her hometown of Utsunomiya, Tochigi to Tokyo to begin training professional wrestling under Emi Sakura. Sakura gave her the ring name Chii Tomiya by combining the Japanese word chi (ち, chi), which indicates smallness or quickness, with the name of her hometown Utsunomiya (宇都宮市, Utsunomiya-shi). After less than a month of training, Tomiya made her debut for Sakura's Ice Ribbon promotion on October 7, losing to her trainer 3–0 in a five-minute exhibition match. Tomiya made her "official" debut on October 18, losing to Yuki Ueda. For the first months of her career, Tomiya wrestled several matches against Makoto, always ending up on the losing side. Finally, on January 18, 2009, Tomiya picked up her first win, pinning Yuki Ueda in a tag team match, where she teamed with Minori Makiba and Ueda with Yoshiko Tamura. On February 7, Tomiya faced one of her idols, NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling representative Tanny Mouse, in a losing effort. The match eventually led to a partnership between the two. On March 22, Tomiya made her debut for NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling, during which she won her first championship, when she surprised Tanny Mouse and pinned her after a match to win DDT Pro-Wrestling's Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship, taking advantage of the title's rule, where a champion could be pinned anytime, anywhere. She would lose the title to Cherry later that same day. On June 3, Tomiya defeated nine other wrestlers to win a battle royal, her first accomplishment in Ice Ribbon. During 2009, Tomiya continued regularly wrestling Makoto, including losing to her on August 5 in a match to determine the number one contender to Ice Ribbon's top title, the ICE×60 Championship. Tomiya would eventually receive her first shot at the title on October 23, but was defeated by defending champion Emi Sakura. On November 14, Tomiya formed the tag team named Miniature Dachs with Riho, with the two defeating Hikari Minami and Mai Ichii in their first match together.
  As a sign of her growing status in Ice Ribbon, on January 16, 2010, Tomiya was chosen as the exhibition opponent for two debuting wrestlers, Kurumi and Tsukushi, both of whom would join Ice Ribbon full-time later in the year. On January 23, Tomiya and Riho were defeated by Miyako Matsumoto and Nanae Takahashi in a hardcore match, a match type rarely used in Ice Ribbon. While the match signaled the end of Tomiya's partnership with Riho, it was only the beginning of a storyline rivalry between Tomiya and Miyako Matsumoto. On June 17, Tomiya unsuccessfully challenged Matsumoto for the Triangle Ribbon Championship in a three-way match, which also included Tsukasa Fujimoto. On July 14 and 17, Tomiya scored back-to-back singles match victories over Matsumoto and her new tag team partner, deathmatch wrestler Jun Kasai. The victories led to a match on July 19, where Tomiya teamed with JWP Joshi Puroresu wrestler Command Bolshoi to unsuccessfully challenge Matsumoto and Kasai for the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship. Afterwards, Tomiya recruited deathmatch wrestler Isami Kodaka as her new tag team partner, and on August 7, the two defeated Matsumoto and Kasai to become the new International Ribbon Tag Team Champions. They would go on to lose the title to Gentaro and Mai Ichii on September 23. On October 30, Tomiya unsuccessfully challenged former partner Command Bolshoi for the ICE×60 Championship. On November 12, Tomiya, along with Emi Sakura, Hikaru Shida, Makoto, Sayaka Obihiro and Tsukasa Fujimoto, made an appearance at a press conference held by Smash to promote Sakura's upcoming debut for the promotion. The following month in Ice Ribbon, Tomiya began regularly teaming with former rival Makoto. On December 24, Tomiya made her debut for Smash at Happening Eve, where she teamed with Hikari Minami and Kushida in a six-person tag team match, where they were defeated by Isami Kodaka, Makoto and Yusuke Kodama.
  On January 4, 2011, Tomiya went through a complete character overhaul, debuting a new look, which included a black and blue two-
