Kyōko Kimura (born March 19, 1977) is a Japanese retired professional wrestler and mixed martial artist. Throughout her 14-year career, she competed in Big Japan Pro-Wrestling (BJW), Ibuki, Ice Ribbon, JWP Joshi Puroresu, NEO Japan Ladies Pro-Wrestling and World Wonder Ring Stardom, among other promotions. She is best known for her Jamaican flag shirt and puffed afro that, at one point, stood roughly one foot tall, as well as her adeptness for deathmatches. She retired from professional wrestling in January 2017. Her daughter, Hana, was also an acclaimed wrestler until her sudden passing in 2020; Kimura has since focused on anti-bullying campaigning with the Japanese media and government, and holds an annual memorial event at Tokyo's Korakuen Hall in honor of Hana.

What is Stardom's Cinderella Tournament? The Cinderella Tournament is an annual one night tournament held by Stardom every spring since 2015. What is the format of the tournament? This is a single elimination 4 round tournament. Matches in the first 3 rounds have time limits. The exact time limit varies from round to round. The final match has no time limit. Victory is possible via pinfall, submission, time limit draw, count out or over the top rope eliminations. Like all Stardom matches, disqualifications are unlikely since referees tend to let the action go as far as possible. In case of a draw, both wrestlers are knocked out of the tournament.
