In Japan, the world of being an idol is completely different and can be found in the most unexpected places, including the world of professional wrestling!
One of the most well-known female wrestling companies in Japan is TJPW (Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling) and the shows started running alongside other events such as live music and other idol performances. One of TJPW’s is Miu Watanabe, who made her professional debut in 2018.

With her pink gear and warm smile, it is easy to underestimate her but she is seen as one of the strongest wrestlers in the company.
Alongside wrestling, she is part of TJPW’s “idol group” called Up Up Girls, and they are often seen singing before the start of a show. Miu is no exception, as she showcases her talent and charisma in front of crowds.

Yet, the wrestler and idol is going viral on social media after netizens were shocked at her unreal strength. While it is no secret to watchers of TJPW that Miu is the strongest wrestler on the roster, facing opponents twice her size, it took some netizens by shock when clips of Miu’s strength were on show.
One of the most signature moves in wrestling is the chop, and the sound of Miyu’s palm hitting the man’s chest was blistering.

After the chop, netizens couldn’t get over Miu’s adorable smile and heart while the man is crouching in pain.
