"Cutie" Suzuki Yumi

Now here's an odd one. While not a real idol in that she wasn't a singer or an actress in the traditional sense, Cutie was popular enough to be featured in most of the idol mags since she was cute enough to be an idol, although she was a pro-wrestler! Cutie's pretty image was deceptive in that she was very formidable in the ring and has captured the junior championship more than once. Her greatest matches were against "Devil Masami" and "Dynamite Kansai", opponents who easily were twice her weight! Some people may argue that pro-wrestling is staged and choreographed, but I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of the "Cutie Special". Well... maybe I would! Tomomi Nishimura claims Cutie as one of her best friends! Cutie has since retired from the square circle.

Left: Cutie gets encouragement to go back in the ring and kick ass. Center: Cutie having fun. Right: Cutie laying down the law.
