Himeka
I will retire from wrestling in May.
5 years into my career, I'm 25 years old.
I have no regrets about this.Only a few shows left.
I will be big, strong and cute.
I will run through to the end in my own way.
Until the very end.
Please support me until the very end. https://t.co/uQMsRPfLQv— We Are Stardom (@we_are_stardom) February 10, 2023
