Satomura’s professional wrestling career started with Gaea Japan in 1995. She also spent some time in World Championship Wrestling between 1996-1997. She would go on to co-found Sendai Girls’ Pro wrestling in 2006 and is running it until this day. Meiko is also still working for Chikara wrestling.

Satomura has quite a few championships and title reigns under her belt. Here is a summary of her accomplishments.
