Utami Hayashishita has returned to where it all started for her.

Hayashishita appeared on Tuesday’s STARDOM card in Korakuen Hall, making her first appearance for the promotion in over two years. The ex-World of STARDOM Champion confronted Saya Kamitani during a post-match segment.

Hayashishita made her in-ring debut for STARDOM in 2018, kicking off a lengthy run with the promotion. Her first stint in the company saw her put together numerous title runs, including a 409-day reign with the brand’s top belt.

When former STARDOM promoter Rossy Ogawa exited the company in 2024 to start MARIGOLD, Hayashishita was one of the most prominent names to leave alongside him and join the new brand.

Hayashishita spent the past two years wrestling for MARIGOLD, notably carrying their top title in a near-300-day championship campaign. After declaring her intention to exit the company earlier this year, Hayashishita wrestled her last match for MARIGOLD on Saturday.
