About
Moeka Haruhi (春日 萌花) was born on 8 October 1984 and wrestles out of Japan, although official profiles intriguingly list Liechtenstein as her place of birth. She is best known as a high‑energy professional wrestler for promotions such as Pro Wrestling WAVE, Ice Ribbon, and Ganbare Pro, where her vibrant costumes and anime‑inspired entrances have become a crowd favorite. Beyond the ring, Haruhi works as a gravure model, voice actor, radio host, and certified weather forecaster—an eclectic résumé that has earned her the nickname “the battling weather reporter.”
Before Fame
During her teen years, Haruhi modeled for Japanese youth magazines while nurturing a deep love of manga, video game,s and cosplay. That pop‑culture passion eventually steered her toward the dramatic world of joshi puroresu (women’s pro wrestling). She first trained under Taka Michinoku at Kaientai Dojo and later completed intensive coaching with Emi Sakura and Toshie Uematsu. After months of drills and ring‑craft, she debuted on 13 February 2005 in Itabashi, Tokyo, facing Rika Takahashi in Gatokunyan—instantly showcasing the playful moves and bright costumes that would become her signature.
Trivia
- Cosplay roots: Haruhi’s ring gear often references favorite anime; early in her career, she even crafted an entire persona around her love of dressing up.
- Weather forecaster: In 2014, she passed Japan’s notoriously difficult National Weather Forecaster Examination, becoming the first active pro athlete to achieve that distinction.
- Title collector: Her trophy cabinet includes the TLW World Young Women’s Championship, Asia Pacific Women’s Championship, and three reigns with DDT’s comedic—but-fiercely contested—Ironman Heavymetalweight belt.
- Kidney‑donor campaign: In 2023, she publicly prepared to donate a kidney to her elder sister; the operation was postponed due to her own test results, but the gesture highlighted her close family bonds.
- Ring style: Fans love her “Astro Scissors” head‑scissor takedown and the “Ojousama Clutch,” a flashy cradle pin learned during her Ice Ribbon days.
Family Life
Haruhi guards private details such as her legal name, yet she speaks warmly about relatives on social media. Her widely reported plan to donate a kidney to her sister underscored that devotion. In May 2024, she told followers that she had married and was expecting her first child in September, explaining that new responsibilities were a factor in her decision to step away from Ganbare Pro’s full‑time roster.
