## Professional wrestling career

### World Wonder Ring Stardom (2017–present)

Rina made her professional wrestling debut at the early age of 11 in World Wonder Ring Stardom, on the second night of the *Stardom Shining Stars* from June 11, 2017, where she teamed up with her twin sister Hina and fell short to Hanan in a 2-on-1 exhibition handicap match.

At *Stardom Yokohama Cinderella 2020* on October 3, 2020, Rina had to search for a new unit since Tokyo Cyber Squad disbanded after Oedo Tai's Natsuko Tora and Saki Kashima defeated Jungle Kyona and Konami in a Losing unit must disband match. She alongside Kyona, Ruaka and Death Yama-san received invitations for joining the STARS stable leaded by Mayu Iwatani which they accepted. Three weeks later however, on October 28, 2020, Rina would quit Stars to join Oedo Tai.

At *Stardom Yokohama Dream Cinderella 2021* on April 4, Rina teamed up with Natsuko Tora, Ruaka, Konami and Saki Kashima to defeat Stars (Mayu Iwatani, Saya Iida, Starlight Kid, Hanan and Gokigen Death) in a Ten-woman elimination tag team match where the last one eliminated was forced to join the enemy unit and since Gokigen Death was eliminated last, she was forced to join Oedo Tai. On the first night of the *Stardom Cinderella Tournament 2021* from April 10, Rina replaced Saki Kashima in a first-round tournament match where she defeated AZM. She did not compete further in the tournament. Rina competed in almost all of the *Stardom 5 Star Grand Prix 2021* nights but without taking part into the proper tournament. She began with the very first night from July 31, where she teamed up with Saki Kashima, Konami and Ruaka to defeat Queen's Quest (AZM and Hina), Hanan and Lady C. At the 2021 edition of the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League, Rina teamed up with Hanan as "Water & Oil" and competed in the Red Goddess Block where they scored a total of two points after going against the teams of FWC (Hazuki and Koguma), AphrOditE (Utami Hayashishita and Saya Kamitani), Himepoi '21 (Himeka and Natsupoi), Cosmic Angels (Unagi Sayaka and Mai Sakurai), and another sub-unit of Oedo Tai, I love HigashiSpo! made of Saki Kashima and Fukigen Death.

At *Stardom Cinderella Journey* on February 23, 2022, Rina fell short to mai Sakurai and Waka Tsukiyama in a number one contender's match for the Future of Stardom Championship. On the first night of the *Stardom World Climax 2022* from March 26, Rina unsuccessfully challenged Hanan for the Future of Stardom Championship. Rina took part in the *Stardom Cinderella Tournament 2022*, falling short to Saya Iida in the first-rounds from April 3, 2022.
