Her pro debut was on December 11th, 2016. It was at Hakata Star Lanes, in a match against Miyu Yamashita.

"Miyu Yamashita is strong. But because I had lived a life that she hadn't, I was still confident in myself in that regard. I thought that I had been able to see things she had never seen. Because I think, pro wrestling after all, more than winning or losing, is about how much you can move the fans emotionally, that's the most important thing right? So because I had these experiences from my life and stuff that Yamashita didn't have, I felt like I had this whole arsenal at my disposal that she didn't have, so I wasn't as scared as you'd maybe expect."

The result was that Yamashita beat her, but she definitely got a response.

For Maki Itoh, her way of life comes out in her pro wrestling. That's how she's always gotten the fans' support. However, she says "Lately, I can't really express that, though."

Unable to express her way of life - what the heck happened to Itoh?
