Manami Toyota gets new name...sort of

So joshi puroresu legend Manami Toyota has lost the rights to her ring name. So fans want to know her new name. Especially since Manami Toyota is her real name. I have to admit that OZ Academy has found a creative...and sneaky way around this. Oh, the diabolical Mayumi Ozaki. Translated into English, her new name is Manami Toyota. Today, OZ Academy explained on their website. The match was agreed to on the understanding that both wrestlers have used the ring name over many years. So a compromise was going to be worked out. The office decided to discuss this with Toyota after last weekend's Osaka show. So after watching Toyota's brutal treatment of Hiroyro Matsumoto and Toyota's verbal sparring with Aja Kong, Ozaki decided that Toyota should join D-Fix. They've changed the kanji characters in her name so it reads Evil Manami Toyota. So it's really a heel turn as opposed to a name change. For the purposes of this blog, I will still call her Manami Toyota. I think the evil part will become very apparent real soon.
