Ayako Valentina Hamada Villarreal (浜田 文子 Hamada Ayako?) (born February 14, 1981) is a Japanese-Mexican female professional wrestler, who has wrestled for AAA, TNA, Shimmer Women Athletes, and is currently wrestling for Pro Wrestling Wave in Japan. She is a second generation wrestler; her father is Gran Hamada. Her older sister Xóchitl Hamada is also a professional wrestler.
She has won several titles in Japanese women's pro wrestling, including the WWWA World Championship and AAAW Single Championship in the early 2000s, and she was a two–time TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion during her time with the TNA promotion.
Ayako Hamada debuted at the age of seventeen against Candy Okutsu on August 9, 1998 for the Japanese Arsion promotion. She received an immediate push and won her first title, the Twin Star of Arsion Championship with Mika Akino, on June 30, 1999, less than one year after her debut. She won the Queen of Arsion Championship from Aja Kong on December 3, 2000.
After leaving Arsion in 2001, she has won numerous women's titles in several Japanese and Mexican promotions, including the WWWA World Championship from Momoe Nakanishi on May 11, 2003 and the AAAW Single Championship from Dynamite Kansai on January 11, 2004, just one week after she had lost the WWWA title to Amazing Kong. From 2005 to 2006 Hamada performed in HUSTLE under the names Arisin Z and Dokron Z, before becoming affiliated with the Kaoru Ito Dojo.
