You might be thinking of the wrong person. Shimizu Ai hadn't debuted yet in the 90s. Her first listed role on ANN is 2001.


Oops! Meant to say 2000's.


Very true that she's stopped most anime roles. Well, if it's any consolation, she played Sonia in Rune Factory Oceans...

That happens to most seiyuus from the early 2000s nowaday, while they are still doing their works, they just don't receive more prominent roles like before. Kuwashima Houko, Takahashi Mikako, Matsuoka Yuki, etc. One fine example is Chiba Saeko, she's been a favorite of mine since her role of Birdy, but she hasn't voiced a single TV anime character in 2012 (let alone a main character). If it wasn't because of the new Minami-ke season, I doubt that she'd make a comeback.

Page 2 and no one has said too bad she isn't in Sekai de ichiban tsuyoku naritai! That would have been perfect!

Wrestling isn't fake but of course shoot vs. worked is different than the moves and the pain being real.

Agreed, although it's staged it's a though business which takes a lot of training and hard work to survive in. Bold career move!

Considering the fact I've never heard of the company before and judging by the design of the poster, I'd wager the spots and bumps won't be that painful and she might just do a comedy style match.

That interview was filmed back when wrestling was portrayed as real. Some old school wrestlers still maintain kayfabe to this day. The original Sheikh, for instance, wouldn't answer the phone if anyone asked to speak to Ed Farhat (His given name), as Rob Van Dam can attest. The Undertaker only lets one person call him "Mark": Ric Flair. Never call Raven "Scott Levy" unless you've known him since before he adopted the Raven character. And DO NOT call Big Show or Triple H "Paul". Even their wives call them by their ring names.

Wrestling's scripted, not fake. Who wins is predetermined but there's no way to fake a chair shot or a 20-foot fall off the top of a steel cage.
