M's Style

History
After leaving AtoZ, AKINO joined with three other joshi wrestlers to form a new promotion. Her long time friend Mariko Yoshida and fellow ARSION wrestler Michiko Ohmukai joined her, and rising star Momoe Nakanishi also jumped on board. The name of their promotion, M's Style, stemmed from the fact that all four women's first names started with the letter "M".

M's Style held its first show in April 2004. At the time, the promotion was thought to be the future of joshi puroresu, and had been rumored to be working with puroresu powerhouse New Japan Pro Wrestling. Nothing came of the partnership, and the promotion suffered another blow.[1]

Momoe Nakanishi announced her retirement the same year, with nagging injuries being among the top reasons. Many in the joshi fan community considered this a death knell for M's Style, and expected the promotion to go under. M's Style closed in the Fall of 2006. Ohmukai later retired in 2007, and Yoshida left to open Ibuki to train up the next generation of joshi wrestlers.
