Sakura Hirota, master thespian

More fans probably ask me about Sakura Hirota than anyone in the joshi business over the last few years. At the very least she was very good at her costume play comedy shtick and was usually very entertaining even when GAEA sometimes wasn't. A lot of fans want to know what she has been doing since GAEA closed.



It was probably a very good idea for Sakura Hirota to retire from joshi. I guess she wanted fans to remember her fondly for her work in GAEA. It's doubtful she would have fit in anywhere else, even with NEO's bad comedians. She basically became a nurse and released a DVD as well. Now Sakura Hirota is beginning a new chapter in her life.



Sakura Hirota is training to be an actor and will make her stage debut in March. It seems that acting is something she has wanted to do for a long time. Recently she decided to take acting classes at a local theatre company in Tokyo. She will appear in a drama stage play on March 12.



Sakura says that pro wrestling was an expression of her creativity and she is hoping to bring that creativity to the stage. Oh and she still has all her costumes stored in a warehouse. Good luck to Sakura Hirota on her new career.
