Brief Team Overview: Explain your Team's gimmick here. Can be as short or as long as you want. (Note: THIS IS NOT A FULL BIO. This is for describing your Team's in-ring and on-screen gimmick.):

Originally “Just four girls” out to represent and showcase their different elements of the Joshi scene in professional wrestling as they come together in their pursuit to change the landscape of the EWC as young blood rising stars. Now their ranks have increased to expand their showcase of Japan’s best joshi styles and to address their evolving bonds and fanbase causing them to allow others to join them as in their journey in the EWC.

“Shi” can mean death and four in Japan, so the group tends to play around with four and shinigami concepts.

They’re loosely based on the Joshi wrestling “unit” system and the popularity of super idol groups in Japan.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

Theme Music: ''Half' – Queen Bee

Special Entrance [Optional]:

FACTION INFORMATION



Pro Debut: Summer 2022



..

Faction Strengths: Chemistry, unpredictable, fighting spirit/determination, and innovative.

Faction Flaws: Disorganized/chaotic sometimes, members tend to appear and go places individually due to independence and bravery which leaves them open to be caught by numbers when others aren’t in the arena or location, and the majority of them lack size.

Faction Dynamic: Tight knit (at least Emiko, Narumi, Aiya, Sonya, Amber, and El Pablo) group of friends out to display the spirit of joshi wrestling and martial arts or in other words the concept of what good training/work ethic does for people. Saidie is arguably in the tight knit group and brought in Sally, though there is mystery of their true outlook on things, regardless usually most members of Shinijoshi have each other's back (especially against other factions) and they trust the duo for now. Vertigo is usually quiet but reluctantly accepts the antics of the more chaotic and happy go lucky members of the group.


Carley manages the group, handles internal conflicts, and tries to bring a bit of order within their chaotic tendencies.


Faction Goal(s): Be the most successful faction in their EWC.



Showcase the benefits of hard work and training, typically through the joshi style and warring against factions they feel take shortcuts such as the House.




Faction Tendencies (Delete ALL that do NOT apply):

They would only use numbers or attack people if it revenge on the House or anyone else that deserves it.


Open for Recruitment (Delete ALL that do NOT apply):

- [x] Yes

- [x] No

We are currently pretty full but not a complete no if there’s a special case or any other changes.

MINI BIOGRAPHY
“Shinijoshi” is a play on the Shinigami, the fact the number four/shi is cursed in Japan due to shi also meaning death, and the idea that they’re just four girls/joshing from Japan trying to make a name for themselves in the massive international long-running promotion that is the EWC.



Narumi and Megumi as Senshi of the Blade were fast friends since they met in their early days on Prime, Narumi and Aiya slowly went from rivals to friendly rivals as they competed on their rise on Prime to uproot the Scorpio/Dio era that they mutually disdained, and Sonya was known to Narumi through a fellow professional wrestling friend called Emmanuelle. Thus when Narumi sought to upset the status quo in the EWC for the youngblood generation, she asked the others to join her in a team representing a change in the EWC while also representing the joshi scene in the company.



2023 season update:



Megumi recruited “Shinijoshi in training” members for the 2023 season, adding the delinquent Emiko Okita.



Saidie Sharpe, girlfriend of Aiya and friend of Narumi, was made an honorary member during the 2022 Prime season finale.



2024 season update:



After the conflict between Shinijoshi and Saidie the honorary system was removed and Saidie was invited back for a more open and inclusive Shinijoshi, especially with the House becoming more powerful during this time and realizing through Team EWC’s defeat that only a real faction can stop them. In their expansion Sally Talfourd, El Pablo, Vertigo, and Amber Lisa Silverhawk were all brought into the fold.




Hand sign: Double peace signs to symbolize four. Can be incorporated for devil/oni horns, peace, double deuces, or anything else a double peace sign formation can be manipulated into. Used, if at all, depending on the personality of the member.



They own an oni-themed tour bus “Onibus” Narumi bought from her $500,000 USD prize money.
