Kyoko Kimura (木村 響子 Kimura Kyōko?, born March 19, 1977) is a retired Japanese professional wrestler and mixed martial artist. She is an alumnus of Big Japan Pro Wrestling, Ibuki, Ice Ribbon, JWP Joshi Puroresu, NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling and World Wonder Ring Stardom, among other promotions. Most notably, she is known for her Jamaican flag shirt and puffed afro that at one point stood at roughly one foot tall. Among the notable opponents she has wrestled is Shimmer wrestler, MsChif. She is known for wrestling in barbed wire deathmatches as well as her singles bouts. She retired from professional wrestling in January 2017.
Kimura started her professional wrestling career in the JWP Joshi Puroresu promotion, making her debut on July 20, 2003. She remained with the promotion in a small role for over two years, before quitting in late 2005 and becoming a freelancer. During the following years, Kimura made appearances for promotions such as Ibuki,Oz Academy, and Pro Wrestling Wave, while also making her debut in death matches.
Kimura's first major role in professional wrestling came in the NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling promotion, where, in 2008, she became the leader of the villainous Revolucion Amandla stable, which also included Tomoka Nakagawa and Atsuko Emoto, with whom Kimura held the NEO Tag Team Championship. In October 2009, Revolucion Amandla also made a tour of Mexico. Kimura remained a regular for NEO until the promotion folded in December 2010, with her stable being involved in major storyline rivalries with Las Cachorras Orientales (Etsuko Mita and Mima Shimoda) and Passion Red (Kana, Nanae Takahashi and Natsuki☆Taiyo).
