During a typically eventful press conference that saw Marigold announce the full card for the upcoming Giulia Last Match: Arrivederci card, and a celebratory Giulia Gauntlet Match for the Shin-Kiba 1st RING show on August 25th, we were also given a glimpse of the company’s brand new signing.
17-year old Seri (pronounced Say-ree) Yamaoka, who is an accomplished amateur wrestler, joined Rossy Ogawa to announce that she will be making her debut at the company’s First Dream 2025 show on January 3rd in Ota-Ward City Gymnasium.
Seri is currently a high school student. She placed second in the 54 kg class at the 2021 National Junior High School Selection Championships, and won first place in the high school lightweight class at the 2022 All Japan Beach Wrestling Championships. pic.twitter.com/lQsvVBpo9K

Currently at high school, Yamaoka is a decorated free-style wrestler already, placing second in the 54kg class at the 2021 National Junior High School Selection Championships and winning the high-school lightweight class at the 2022 All Japan Beach Wrestling Championships. With this wealth of experience at such a young age, standing at 162cm and weighing in at 54kg, it goes without saying that Seri Yamaoka is an exciting prospect in Marigold’s future!
