Chie Koishikawa vs. Yuna Mizumori
The opening match of ChocoPro season five will feature two of the most energetic personalities in Gatoh Move. Chie Koishikawa has had a tremendous season four, including her announcement of becoming a full-time wrestler. Since then, she’s changed her look and style, though her trademark energy has remained intact. Meanwhile, Yuna Mizumori remained one of the most dominant competitors on the show, whether in tag team or singles competition. Anyone that has picked up a win over her had to work that much harder. Can Yunamon start the season off strong with a victory or will it be “Too Much Energy” that emerges supreme?
Thanks a lot for your poll.
I am #ChocoS4MVP .
This is not only mine.

Mei Suruga and Lulu Pencil vs. Emi Sakura and Sayaka Obihiro
Lulu Pencil was recently named the MVP of ChocoPro season four. It’s difficult to argue with this, as the Pencil Army leader has put on incredible performances and created memorable moments throughout the season. A cursory glance through Twitter is all one would need to reaffirm this. Meanwhile, Mei Suruga has continued her growth in not just Gatoh Move but Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling, the latter of which she’s made consistent appearances. Together, the season four MVP candidates will face Gatoh Move pillars Emi Sakura and Sayaka Obihiro on the season five premiere. Expect this to be a competitive encounter between up-and-comers and established veterans.

Baliyan Akki vs. Antonio Honda (ChocoPro Main Event)
As the self-proclaimed “Ace” of ChocoPro, Baliyan Akki is one of the most successful stars in Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling today. In season four, he has come out victorious in singles and tag team competition alike. While he’s worked well alongside Mei Suruga as the tandem called Best Bros, it’s fair to say that Akki will be looking to make season five his own. Akki boasts a unique blend of strike-based and aerial offense, making the most of Ichigaya Chocolate Square to keep his opponents on their toes. On the first episode of ChocoPro season five, the star from Uttar Pradesh, India will take on a unique challenge.
Japanese pro wrestling fans may best know Antonio Honda from his work in Dramatic Dream Team. As a three-time DDT Extreme Champion and seventeen-time Ironman Heavymetalweight Champion, Honda’s unorthodox, oftentimes comedic antics have led him to success on multiple occasions. This has been true in ChocoPro as well. In season four, “The Dragon,” he picked up victories over Akki, Chie Koishikawa, Yuna Mizumori, and others. Needless to say, Honda is as wily as he is playful. With that said, Honda will be looking to avenge his showing from the previous episode of ChocoPro.
On episode seventy-two of ChocoPro, Honda teamed with Tokiko Kirihara to take on Best Bros. Despite the best efforts of Honda and Kirihara, the combined efforts of Suruga and Akki proved to be too much. With Akki entering this main event with momentum on his side, Honda will be looking to cut him off in the early goings of season five. Expect this featured match to showcase the unique fighting styles of both men.
