LOS ANGELES - s4story -- SJPA Entertainment announces that the Spark Joshi brand's next live shows, "Rising Heat West" in Los Angeles on October 11th and "Rising Heat East" in Orlando on October 14th, will include the US debut of Maika Ozaki.

Originally from Kyoto, Maika Ozaki made her debut in 2015 and has competed under many promotions in Japan including Stardom, Ice Ribbon, Dark Pro Wrestling 666, and COLOR'S. Next, fans in America can see her live at Spark Joshi's Rising Heat shows on both coasts, joining her fellow members of the "Rebel x Enemy" unit, Ram Kaichow and Maya Yukihi.

"Anime and Japanese video games have been part of American pop culture for decades," says head booker "Chibi C.B." C.B. Liffer. "We launched Spark Joshi to usher in a new wave of joshi wrestling everywhere. We believe in the adage that a rising tide lifts all boats, so we're in talks with many wonderful groups of all sizes in Japan as we import joshi puroresu to the United States. Our goal is to light the Spark that will make joshi puroresu the international cultural phenomenon it deserves to be."
