Product Description 

The first autobiography of Saya Kamitani, one of the most prominent stars in Japan’s women’s professional wrestling scene.

She made history as the first female wrestler to receive both:

  • 2025 Tokyo Sports Pro Wrestling Grand Prize MVP

  • Women’s Pro Wrestling Grand Prize

Known for breaking conventions as a heel wrestler, Kamitani candidly shares her untold story—from childhood dreams to standing at the center of the wrestling world.


About the Book

Her journey was far from smooth.

From a shy girl who dreamed of becoming an idol, to working as a support dancer, to struggling as an idol—her path eventually led her into professional wrestling.

Even after her glamorous debut, she faced:

  • Isolation

  • Long-term injuries

  • Emotional struggles

Why did she never quit?
How did she transform into the persona known as “Saya-sama”?

This autobiography reveals the truth behind her rise and reinvention.
