Kumiyo Ishimoto

Kumiyo Ishimoto is a Japanese wrestler that is signed to the CWL. A brand new rookie that wants to become the best wrestler in the CWL.

## Early Career

Kumiyo lived a relatively normal life as an usual kid in Kyoto. Her family was well off and as she grew up, she started to feel unimportant. So as she went into her teens, Kumiyo went on doing numerous clubs and sports, trying anything. None of these really got to her, as she never felt a love for any of the activities.

It took a couple of years, but once Kumiyo was 16, she finally found wrestling. It was the only thing that she felt a true love towards. She decided to get her childhood best friends, Elyse Miller and Akane Tsuji into wrestling as well. And the three of them started to train as wrestlers. Now, Kumiyo fully devoted herself into wresting. It was her thing that made her feel important, and it was her way of impressing her parents. What also helped this was the fact that praise was given to Ishimoto by her trainers. The trainers named her the "Golden Prodigy" and it's a title she holds until she can fulfill her goal.

This training went on for 5 years for the three friends. Kumiyo never felt really prepared to actually sign for a company, and she wanted to be perfect. Once she turned 21 though, it finally felt prepared. She had found the CWL and they seemed like the perfect fit for herself. But first, she had to do something.
A day after her birthday, it was found that her best friends, Elyse and Akane would be attacked. The assumed attacker would be Kumiyo, but there was never a reason given for the attack. But Kumiyo was off to the CWL to make a name for herself.

## CWL (April 2021-Present)

Kumiyo arrived into the CWL with what seemed to be full of confidence. Kumiyo made her professional debut against Jessie Anderson on Genesis 26. While she did hold her own, it was a loss for the Prodigy. She bounced back from the loss, with a win against Ori Ikeda on Genesis 28. On Genesis 29, she had a rematch with Jessie Anderson. In a back and forth match, Kumiyo came out as the victor. This win gave confidence to the young wrestler, who then challenged for the Queen of Genesis Championship against the longest reigning champion, Natalia.

### **New Champion?**

On Genesis 31, Kumiyo shocked the world by defeating Natalia and becoming the new Queen of Genesis Champion. This was also a shock for Kumiyo, as she didn't expect to defeat Natalia. It brought a big boost to her confidence, and getting an offer to join Vanity!, everything was looking good for the Prodigy. But it all changed on Genesis 32, as Kumiyo and Bayamya tagged up against Vanity! (Nataila/Rachel Lochlan) The strategy of weakening Natalia was effective, it still was a loss with Natalia tapping out Bayamya. Natalia didn't take a liking to the double team, which made their rematch on Genesis 33 more personal. While once again this match was back and forth, in ended with Ishimoto tapping and Natalia regaining her championship.

### **Confidence Shaker**

Going from the champion to not being one really affected Kumiyo a lot more than she thought it would. But she kept on fighting. On Genesis 34, she won a triple threat against Marcella and Yaina of Sparta, who she pinned. At the end of the match, Marcella only stood on the apron, which confused Marcella and Kumiyo. Due to this, she challenged Kumiyo to a one on one, which then Kumiyo won. On Genesis 36, Kumiyo was involved with a Fatal Four Way Elimination match. While putting on a good effort. She couldn't outlast Santa Muerte and Natalia after getting double teamed with Natalia finally eliminating her. This was another shaker for Kumiyo, as she now started to feel like her win was a fluke, that she couldn't hang it with the best women. On Genesis 37, Kumiyo was able to defeat Kylie Davenport. But Kumiyo needed a bigger challenge, a way to prove to herself that she wasn't just some fluke. She got her challenge in Alisha Evans on Genesis 39, who was the Number One Contender for Natalia's Championship at the time. She was able to defeat her, which started to bring the confidence back to the Young Wrestler. At All Due Respect, Kumiyo was able to defeat Marcella in their rematch.

### **New Season**

After defeating Marcella at All Due Respect and having training under Jessie Hazard, the lost confidence was regained heading into the second season of Genesis. To start off the new season, Kumiyo challenged one half of the CWL Women's Tag Team Champions, Rachel Lochlan. At Genesis 2.1, she was able to defeat her with the Cold Blooded Combo. The next week Kumiyo found herself in a Fatal Four Way involving herself, Flintlock Garcia, Bayamya and Mother Brigitte. In a very chaotic match, Kumiyo was able to get the pinfall on Garcia as the other two competitors where on the outside. After the 5 match win streak she was on, Kumiyo decided to challenge Alisha Evans to a Queen of Genesis Title match which then happened on Genesis 2.3. After interference with Bebe Ka$h, Kumiyo was able to finally put down Alisha Evans and become a 2 time Queen of Genesis Champion.
