Since the end of 2023, Hikari Noa has been missing from Tokyo Joshi Pro for what at the time was the always-vague “poor physical condition”. Tokyo Joshi Pro must have known I was wondering what was going on and now they have provided a brief update on Noa’s continued absence. Personal reasons/circumstances. Remains out indefinitely with no return date set. In a related post from the company that manages the Up Up Girls label (including Noa and fellow TJPW wrestlers Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta), they suggest Noa will be out at least another month and will miss a standalone Up Up Girls event on 3/20. Based on this, I would consider her extremely doubtful at best for GRAND PRINCESS ’24 on 3/31.
More as it beocmes available.
