Haruka Yamada

Story
With prior competitive experience in shootfighting, Yamada joins New Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling in the same round of rookie selection as Mighty Yukiko.

When Yukiko first decides to raise her Revolutionary Army, Yamada initially tries to talk Yukiko out of the idea. Upon seeing that Yukiko is determined, Yamada reluctantly sides with the Regular Army led by Panther Risako.

During the JWI fiasco, Yamada stays with New Japan. During this period, she and Kayo Ozawa defeat Yukiko and Megumi Muto to momentarily become IWWF Tag Team Champions before losing the title to the Sniper Sisters.

Eventually, Yamada decides to set up her own promotion named WOLF whose rules are nearer to shootfighting, and recruit to it wrestlers with a compatible fighting style, including Toshimi Minami, Sachiko Kanda, Akiko Saito and Matsuri Gono.

Personality
A slower learner, Yamada takes more time to pick up techniques, but once she has it she is able to thoroughly integrate it into her overall style, so that she is actually a better wrestler than her on-paper ratings may suggest. She relies heavily on her powerful kicking attacks, while finding aerial attacks to be an utterly alien concept which she wants nothing to do with.

WOLF is the consequence of Yamada's dissatisfaction with mainstream rules, which she believes is keeping down those like herself. Supporters of WOLF come to widely consider her to be Japan's best striker.
