Earlier this year, Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling<\/strong> implemented a new initiative known as ChocoPro<\/em><\/strong>. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, wrestling companies had to restructure their content. Gatoh Move started 2020 on a busy note; during the beginning of this year, they unveiled their own streaming service known as Gatoh Move Experience. ChocoPro<\/em>, which airs on YouTube, was developed post-COVID as the latest venture for the company. ChocoPro<\/em>‘s line of events maintain the same lighthearted nature the company has become known for since its foundation in 2012. Said events have been complemented further by the familiar, intimate venue of Ichigaya Chocolate Square.<\/p>\n

Gatoh Move is no stranger to the YouTube space. Prior to the release of Gatoh Move Experience, they relied on YouTube as their sole means of releasing content. In fact, there was a period of time when old and new matches alike were uploaded on a regular basis. It was through these matches that many fans became familiar with the colorful, energetic, and talented crew. ChocoPro<\/em> has been no slouch, either. Previous episodes have featured Gatoh Move regulars and guest stars, the latter of which included Masato Tanaka<\/strong> and Minoru Suzuki<\/strong>. For both consistent ChocoPro viewers and those that are tuning in for the first time, a promising main event awaits.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, however, the lighthearted nature in question has been tested. Specifically, the once jovial \u201cPineapple Girl\u201d Yuna Mizumori recently entered a professional slump. It seemed like victories were next to impossible to maintain. Not only was she losing matches, but she found the involvement of Emi Sakura<\/strong>, Gatoh Move’s founder, to be frustrating. Ultimately, Mizumori’s frustration came to a boil on ChocoPro<\/em> #15. Mizumori wrestled Baliyan Akki<\/strong><\/a> in a heated time-limit draw, but upon losing the post-show janken tournament, she attacked winner Mei Suruga and stole her celebratory piece of ChocoPro<\/em> chocolate.<\/p>\n

While Yuna Mizumori struggled from week to week, her opponent seemed to take even the biggest losses in stride. Considered by many to be the \u201cace\u201d of Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling, Mei Suruga had seen incredible development since her debut in 2018. The fact that she participated in last year’s Pro-Wrestling: EVE SHE-1<\/em><\/strong> tournament speaks to the trust that Sakura and company instilled in her. Given her prominence in Gatoh Move, the involvement of \u201cMei-chan\u201d as a Gatoh Move regular should come as little surprise.<\/p>\n
