** Professional wrestling career
*** World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana (2011–2020)
[Professional wrestling sidebar] Fujimura initially wanted to join NEO Japan
Ladies Pro-Wrestling, but instead opted to train under Kyoko Inoue after she
left the promotion in July 2010.[4] While training under Inoue, she also took
some extra training in Animal Hamaguchi's dojo under Kyoko Hamaguchi.<ref
name="nikkan" /> On February 10, 2011, Inoue signed Sari to her new World
Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana promotion as a trainee. She was given the ring name
Sareee on March 3, which combined her birth name with the name of the band
Greeeen, of which she was a fan.[5] She was originally set to make her debut
on Diana's debut show on March 21, 2011, however, due to the effects of the
Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear accident, Diana's first
show in Fukushima was cancelled and her debut was postponed until April. She
made her debut on April 14, 2011, losing to Meiko Satomura.[6] On May 10, she
was selected to face Joshi puroresu legend Aja Kong one on one at Kawasaki
City Gymnasium. Despite losing, she kicked out of Kong's vertical drop
brainbuster finisher, garnering a large reaction from the crowd.[7] On
September 4, she gained her first indirect victory, teaming with Kyoko Inoue
to beat Kong and Andrea Mother at a Hikaru produced show.[8] She finally
achieved her first singles victory on April 20, 2012, beating Nana Kawasa.[9]
On January 28, 2013, she got her first title shot, teaming with Inoue in a
loss to Kaoru Ito and Tomoko Watanbe for the vacant Diana Tag Team
Championship.[10]
On April 20, 2014, she won her first championship, beating Manami Katsu for
the JWP Junior Championship and Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championship.[11]
She made one successful defense against Kaho Kobayashi, before dropping the
belt to Rabbit Miu on August 17.[12][13] On October 5, she competed in the
biggest match of her career to that point, challenging Manami Toyota for the
Diana World Championship. After a 20-minute match, Sareee was defeated.[14]
On December 23, she and Jaguar Yokota won the Diana Tag Team Championship,
beating Kaoru and Mima Shimoda.[15] Sareee and Yokota held the titles until
February 2015, when Sareee announced she would be going on an indefinite
hiatus due to poor health. She continued competing until April, when she and
Yokota successfully defended the belts against Command Bolshoi and Eri, after
which, she became inactive and the championships were vacated.[16] After two
months away, Sareee returned to the ring on June 28 at Jaguar Yokota's 38th
Anniversary Show, teaming with Manami Toyota and Kaoru Ito in a loss to Yumiko
Hotta, Mima Shimoda and Meiko Tanaka.[17] On September 16, Sareee had a chance
to win the Diana Tag Team Championship back with new partner Meiko Tanaka, but
the two were unsuccessful and the vacant titles were won by Dash Chisako and
Sendai Sachiko.[18] Despite losing, Sareee and Tanaka became a regular team,
and on December 25 defeated Kaho Kobayashi and Rina Yamashita to win Pro
Wrestling Wave's Young Oh! Oh! Tag Team Tournament.[19] Two days later at
Diana's 40th dojo show, she won a one night tournament, beating Mima Shimoda
in the final.[20] On May 5, she main evented Diana's Korakuen Hall show,
losing to Seadlinnng's Yoshiko in her 5th anniversary match.[21] The following
month, she entered Wave's Catch the Wave tournament, but was eliminated in the
quarter final by Tsukasa Fujimoto.[22]
Immediately after leaving Seadlinnng, Sareee announced she would return to
Diana on September 18, 2017.[23] Sareee returned to Diana on October 20, 2017,
losing to Kaoru Ito.[24] During the match, she sustained a clavicle injury,
and was expected to miss over a year of competition due to the injury.[25]
After just 3 months, Sareee returned to the ring on January 28, 2018, teaming
with Ito in a loss to Kyoko Inoue and Manami Katsu.[26] Throughout early 2018,
Sareee began her ascent to the main event of Diana, and challenged Kyoko Inoue
for the Diana World Championship in the main event of the Diana 7th
Anniversary Memorial Show on May 5, 2018.[27]
Despite losing, Sareee immediately demanded a rematch, which Inoue granted and
was set up for July. In the rematch on July 22 in Kawasaki, Sareee defeated
Kyoko Inoue to win the Diana World Championship for the first time.[28] In her
first defence on December 20, Sareee lost the title to Aja Kong.[29] On
January 6, 2019, she challenged and lost to Chihiro Hashimoto for the Sendai
Girls World Championship.[30] On February 11, she lost to Aja Kong in their
rematch.[31] On May 12 in Korakuen Hall, she finally defeated Kong in their
third match to become a two time Diana World Champion.[32] Later in the month,
she called out Hashimoto to put both of their championships up in a double
title match. Hashimoto agreed, and the match took place on June 8, 2019, with
Sareee winning and claiming both the Diana World Championship and Sendai Girls
World Championship.[33] Sareee made her first successful defense on July 7,
beating Dash Chisako in Korakuen Hall.[34] Sareee lost the Sendai Championship
on October 13 to Hashimoto, ending her reign at 127 days.[35] On January 4,
2020, Sareee lost her Diana Championship to Ayako Sato, ending her second
reign at 237 days. Sareee announced she will leave Diana in February, as she
was heading to the United States.[36]
*** Seadlinnng (2017)
After six years with Diana, Sareee announced she would leave the promotion and
transfer to Seadlinnng on February 1, 2017.[37] Sareee debuted for Sead on
March 16, 2017, losing to Yoshiko.[38] After seven months she announced she
would leave the promotion in September.[39]
*** WWE (2020–2023)
On February 22, 2020, during a Diana show, Sareee confirmed that she had
signed with WWE.[40] Her move to the United States was delayed by the COVID-19
pandemic, causing a change in her move schedule.[date=January 2025] Because of
this, WWE allowed her to continue working dates in Japan until she could move
to the United States. On August 30, Sareee made her return to the Japanese
independent scene with Diana, wrestling Nagisa Nozaki to a ten-minute time
limit draw.[41] She briefly held Seadlinnng's Beyond the Sea Tag Team
Championship with Yoshiko before losing them to Arisa Nakajima and Nanae
Takahashi on January 22, 2021,[42] which was Sarreee's final match on the
indies. On the March 17, 2021, episode of _NXT_, she was given the new ring
name Sarray.[43] She made her debut on the April 20 episode of _NXT_,[44]

suffered her first loss against Dakota Kai.[46] She made an appearance on the
October 8 episode of _205 Live_ and defeated Amari Miller.[47]
On the January 18, 2022, episode of _NXT_, a vignette aired of Sarray sporting
pigtails and dressed in a schoolgirl uniform, explaining that 2021 didn't turn
out as she hoped it would. She returned to Japan to physically and mentally
heal herself, and came across a medallion she got from her grandma, reminding
her of where she came from and that she would return to NXT with "new passion
and energy".[48] Sarray made her in-ring return on the February 1 episode of
_NXT_, where upon making her entrance she appeared backstage wearing the
clothing she wore in her return promotional vignette, then entered the ring
area dressed in a new wrestling outfit and a different hair style thanks to
her grandmother's medallion with transforming powers, defeating Kayla
Inlay.[49] On the February 25 episode of _NXT Level Up_, she lost in a match
against Elektra Lopez.[50] In March, Sarray started a feud with Tiffany
Stratton after being attacked by her for rejecting her offer to replace her
grandmother's necklace with one that she would give to her;[51] this led them
to a match on the March 15 episode of _NXT_, where Stratton prevented Sarray
from transforming and defeated her.[52] Two weeks later, a transformed Sarray
distracted Stratton and caused her to lose in a match against Ivy Nile.[53] On
the April 19 episode of _NXT_, Sarray fought Stratton in another losing
effort.[54] On the May 10 episode of _NXT_, Sarray teamed with Andre Chase and
defeated the team of Stratton and Grayson Waller in a mixed tag team
match.[55] On the June 23 episode of _NXT UK_, Sarray made her debut on the
brand, defeating Nina Samuels.[56] On the July 26 episode of _NXT_, Sarray
returned to the United States and confronted NXT Women's Champion Mandy
Rose,[57] leading to a match the following week where she lost.[58] It was
Sarray's last match in the WWE.
On March 9, 2023, it was reported Sarray would leave WWE and would be
