Outlook - One of ARISON's top stars that's trying to hold strong in a struggling company. Michiko Omukai is kind of a big fish in a small pond. After struggling in Zenjo and LLPW, she found a home in the shoot style influenced ARISON. Using stiff kicks and quality selling, Chama was able to get pushed out of the midcard for once and was one of the premier up-and-comers in joshi. The depatures and retirements in ARISON have allowed her to get into the catbird seat and she's been pushed hard as a result. Letting this go to her head, Omukai's game has slipped after working so hard to get this high up. While it's anyone's guess whether or not she'll be able to show some turnaround, she's getting to that point where establishment and age start to overwhelm workrate. I suspect she has some good performances in her if she's in there with the right person.
