Judo
Kandori captured the bronze medal at the 1984 World Judo Championships. She later planned to compete at the 1988 Summer Olympics, but halfway to the Olympics she lost motivation for judo competition. Kandori considered becoming a trainer,[1] but she became interested on professional wrestling, and eventually retired from judo in order to pursue a wrestling career.[2]
Professional wrestling career
Japan Women's Pro Wrestling (1986-1987)
Kandori joined the recently established
With her popularity quickly rising, Kandori came to be considered one of JWP's shitenno along with Sato, Rumi Kazama and Nancy Kumi.[5] Her real life relationship with Sato, however, would sour after Sato gave Kandori a real eye injury during a match. In a match on July 6, 1987, Sato went off script and legitimately attacked Kandori, hitting repeatedly her still healing eye, without being warned or punished by the promotion afterwards.[6] The situation finally exploded in an infamous incident on July 18, 1987, when a mutually agreed-upon shoot wrestling match ended with Kandori punching Sato several times and dominating her, inflicting injuries that led to Sato's retirement.[7] Kandori left the company after the incident and tried to join All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling, having contacted with its main star Chigusa Nagayo, but was unable to do so due to contractual reasons.[7]
Ladies Legend Pro Wrestling (1993–present)
Kandori made her debut for Ladies Legend Pro-Wrestling on January 15, 1993 by teaming up with Mikiko Futagami and losing to Eagle Sawai and Harley Saito. For the first couple of months, Kandori would mostly compete in tag team matches with Rumi Kazama, Miki Handa and Harley Saito. On August 29, Kandori defeated Harley Saito in the semi-final of the LLPW Singles Championship Tournament and went on to defeat Eagle Sawai in the finals to become the LLPW Singles Champion. Kandori defended the championship twice against Eagle Sawai and eventually lost it to Noriyo Tateno on September 23, 1994.
Kandori continued to wrestle for LLPW for the next few years with nothing of any note happening until June 20, 1996, when she teamed up with Karula and
