Strengths (At least 2):
Ring Veteran: Tomoko has been a joshi for almost the better part of a decade, and in that time she has learned all the tricks of the trade in a wrestling ring.

Dirty Fighter: Tomoko wants to win above all else, and she is very much willing to do anything she has to in order to walk out a winner. Even fight dirty.

Weaknesses (At least 2):
Surgically Repaired Neck: A particularly harsh piledriver given to her in the past has severely weakened Tomoko's neck to the point where she has to be extra careful when wrestling her opponents, lest she risks re-injuring herself and possibly becoming paralysed.

Blind Rage: When things don't go Tomoko's way, if a plan falls apart, or even if somebody just will not stay down, she tends to throw a tantrum like a spoiled child. Her temper literally blinds her to the goings-on of the ring.

The venue filled with the crowds' displeasure mere moments after "Konya wa Hurricane" by Kinuko Ohmori blasted through the speakers. It was not long before Tomoko Takahashi stepped out from behind the curtain, dressed in her wrestling gear.

BIOGRAPHY
---------------

Before Tomoko Takahashi was the Colour Commentator for Seishin, she was once upon a time one of joshi puroresu's finest heels.

Tomoko grew up with a poor family, which made her the target of bullies from more well-off households during her childhood, who would tease her for being a poor (and ugly) child. Suffice to say, Tomoko had a childhood that left much to be desired, but the one thing that went in her favour was that she was a natural athlete. From track and field to amateur wrestling, Tomoko was such a natural at what she did that by the time she was eighteen a man approached her with a job offer.

He was a wrestling promoter, and he was scouting young athletes to add some new blood to the joshi puroresu scene, and Tomoko accepted his invitation.

So began her first steps as a professional wrestler. Much like everything else that she tried her hand at, athletically speaking, Tomoko Takahashi was truly a natural joshi, and admittedly a better wrestler than most of the veterans she worked with. She reveled in her job, and in her arrogance though her career had only just begun, she fully expected to be the promotion's highest draw, a fact she rubbed in the faces of her peers constantly, backstage.

Reality, however, did not coincide with her expectations, as year after year she saw lesser talents receive pushes they did not deserve. Eventually, she came to a conclusion as to why that was; everyone else was using their looks to get ahead. She wasn't correct in her conclusion, of course, but Tomoko was unwilling to entertain any other reasoning why she as one of the most talented wrestlers on the roster was still only a mid-card attraction.

And so she decided to do something about it.

Her arrogant persona grew into a darker one, one who would constantly try to "ugly up" the competition. She would hurt them, mock them, kick them while they were down, and in this new persona of hers brought a great deal of heat from the fans. As well as the attention of promoters in need of a good heel.

Years later in in the twilight of her career, Tomoko was one of the biggest heels joshi puroresu had ever seen. Sadly, she was of a time when female wrestlers retired young in their life, and when her own time eventually came to retire she did so with fanfare, and a great big finger to the fans. In her retirement, Tomoko soon found a new purpose in training the next generation of joshi, and the next, giving her students a hard time (especially the more attractive ones) and cementing her reputation as a tough but fair sensei, one whose students went on to big things.

In the summer of 2015, Tomoko was approached by one of her old students - one whose life was made hell during her time at the dojo - Mariko Inoue, who asked if she could lend her particular brand of venom to her promotion in the making as it's chief trainer and as a colour commentator. The rest, as they say, is history.

MISCELLANEOUS
--------------------

Taunts (Up to 3):
- She would give the crowds the finger when she is taunting them.

Notes (Up to 3):
- Has a deep disdain for beautiful women, whom she would deride as "models". Ironic, seeing as Tomoko herself is quite attractive.
