Wild Heart: Eternal Horizon Dawn

Alright, ladies and gentlemen. It is time for the most anticipated blog on my Field Journey page so far, aka the only one that I announced in advance. It is about a wrestler that I have been singing the praises of for almost 3 months on my social media page. Since I have been singing her praises, it's now time to showcase my praises to the entire world! Today we are going to talk about a wrestler who has been quite a Darkhorse in STARDOM, but has a great cult following from the west to the east. Her name is Hazuki. 

HAZUKI - CONTROLLED BURST DIFFICULTY:

• Age: 28 Years Old
• Promotion: World Wonder Ring Stardom
• Trainers: Fuka
• Tag Teams: 
• with Koguma as FWC (Fukuoka Double Crazy)
• with Osita (Koguma) as DLM (Dos Locas de Mexico) under the name of Teotleco
• Stables: 
• Queen's Quest (2016 - 2018) as HZK
• Oedo Tai (2018 - 2019) 
• STARS (2021 - 2025)
• Nicknames: 
• Wild Heart 
• World Tiger #4 
• Signature Moves:
• Atomic Bomb's Away 
• Vertical Drop Brainbuster
• Ha Zukistral 
• Codebreaker 
• Michinoku Driver II 

I usually would say many things and yap along about many things of Hazuki and keep rambling until your eyes fall off. However, I can't muster up anything in my mind about Hazuki for some reason. And I am so confused as I have been preparing all kinds of introductions and thoughts in my mind, but now, I have nothing which is quite unusual of me. Maybe my mind was overloaded with the amount of Hazuki that I have been watching and thinking of featuring, which leads to my next point. As this will be a special addition, this will biggest match list on my page so far as I will be covering 13 matches. Yes. You saw that right. 13 Matches. That is how far I'm willing to go for Hazuki. So without any further a due? Let's get into it. 

HAZUKI - FLOURISH or REGROUP

• Mi Vida Loca (Suzu Suzuki, Rina Yamashita & Akira Kurogane) vs Dark Silueta & FWC (Hazuki & Koguma) (11:03)
• 23/08/2025
• World Wonder Ring Stardom
• Stardom 5STAR Grand  Prix - Day 13 (Final)
• FLOURISH or REGROUP: Dark Silueta and FWC need to regroup after that one.
• ZERO: ★★★1/2

Since there are a lot of matches to talk about compared to previous iterations, so I figured that we start easy with a random six woman tag. Mi Vida Loca vs Dark Silueta and FWC was a fun match to end my watch list. I was watching this in the middle of night and slapped myself to stay awake so that was fun. Hazuki and Koguma were doing combination moves as well as use their opponent's momentum against them.

• Koguma (c) vs Hazuki (22:12)
• 11/10/2025
• World Wonder Ring Stardom
• CMLL-Japan Women's Championship Match 
• Stardom (Oct 11) 
• FLOURISH or REGROUP: Hazuki flourished in capturing the CMLL-Japan Women's title.
• ZERO: ★★★★★

FWC collide as the CMLL-Japan Women's title is on the line. You'll be surprised to see that this is the first time seeing these two face each other and it was an incredible match. Besides the incredible action with the most notable moment being when Koguma hit the Code Red on Hazuki from the corner, this has a simple and well told story. Koguma won the CMLL-Japan Women's title as a result of a referee stoppage against Dark Silueta. So this was a chance for her to prove that she deserves this title and Hazuki will never holds back to get what she wants. It is simple storytelling layered under spectacular wrestling and that is always a great jam.

• Mei Seira (c) vs Hazuki (10:58) 
• 03/11/2025
• World Wonder Ring Stardom 
• High Speed Championship Match
• Stardom Crimson Nightmare 
• FLOURISH or REGROUP: Hazuki regroups as Seira sores in victory.
• ZERO: ★★★★1/4 

This one had a different aspect to things. As FWC went to Mexico for CMLL in October, Mei Seira made the challenge to Hazuki. It was for Seira's High Speed Title, which meant the stakes were high as the match happened at Crimson Nightmare. Hazuki was good counter to Mei Seira high paced offence and explosiveness. It was an easy watch that can intensify since High Speed Title bouts are 15 minutes. Seira was able to retain the title, but this isn't the last time these two will be here.

• Kagestu (c) vs Hazuki (20:32)
• 27/01/2019
• World Wonder Ring Stardom 
• World Of Stardom Championship Match
• Stardom 8th Anniversary In Osaka 
• FLOURISH or REGROUP: Hazuki regroups from not winning this one.
• ZERO: ★★★★1/4

Firstly, Yu Ishino came out as a transgender man in 2022 and he is now a police officer. Congratulations. Secondly, this match was actually an easy watch and I highly recommend it for people who want a comfort match to watch. Or about as comfortable as you think of Oedo Tai and Joshi Puroresu in general to be honest.

• Mercedes Mone (c) vs Hazuki vs AZM (13:53)
• 08/04/2023
• New Japan Pro-Wrestling 
• IWGP Women's Championship Three Way Match
• NJPW Sakura Genesis 2023 
• FLOURISH or REGROUP: Hazuki regroups from crush and punch three
• ZERO: ★★★★1/2

The first match of Hazuki that I watched ironically came from the promotion I watched consistently in 2023 besides Ring Of Honor, is New Japan Pro-Wrestling. At that year's Sakura Genesis, Hazuki inserted her way into the Mercedes Mone and AZM situation as it was a three way for the IWGP Women's Championship. I was rewatching this and it is way better than I remember it to be. Three incredible create magic with a combination of different styles. I highly recommended. I think people tend to forget Hazuki was in this as the focus was Mercedes pronouncing AZM's name wrong.

• Mercedes Mone (c) vs Hazuki (26:36)
• 15/12/2024
• New Japan Pro-Wrestling 
• NJPW STRONG Women's Championship Match
• NJPW Strong Style Evolved 2024
• FLOURISH or REGROUP: Hazuki regrouped from another title loss.
• ZERO: ★★★★★

The most famous match of Hazuki from fans who don't follow any Joshi or Puroresu in the west beside the annual or occassional America show was when she challenged Mercedes Mone one on one. This time, it was for the NJPW STRONG Women's Title after the Wild Heart won a 4 Way match at NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed. This match was really great and it was every new fan's first introduction to Hazuki. Although, this match still leaves a bittersweet feeling every time I think about this.

• FWC (Hazuki & Koguma) vs 02line (AZM & Miyu Amasaki) vs Sareee & Miku Kanae (14:30)
• 03/01/2026
• World Wonder Ring Stardom 
• Goddesses Of Stardom Titles #1 Contender's Three Way Match
• Stardom New Year Dream ~Day~ 
• FLOURISH or REGROUP: FWC regroup from this impromptu title opportunity 
• ZERO: ★★★★1/4

This was initially meant to be a normal three way tag that turned to a number 1 contender's match for the Goddesses Of Stardom titles as a result of the current champions, H.A.T.E.'s BMI2000 (Natsuko Tora & Ruaka) made that happen. This was a fun three way tag with 02line winning. Random side track, whenever I look at Sareee, Miku Kanae and Chi Chi, they remind of Power Rangers Dino Thunder for some reason. 

• Fuwa-chan vs Hazuki (11:33)
• 29/01/2025
• World Wonder Ring Stardom 
• Fuwa-chan Re-Debut Match
• Stardom Dream Queendom 2025 
• FLOURISH or REGROUP: Hazuki flourished in welcoming Fuwa-chan back in STARDOM.
• ZERO: ★★★★

Fuwa-chan made a shock in November of 2025 when she returned to STARDOM as a full-time wrestler. It is significant given she wasn't online in terms of social media in a year prior to that. Her first match was against the woman who was with her since the beginning, Hazuki. This was a lot better than what I had hoped. Fuwa-chan was taking the fight to Hazuki, and even in defeat, she proved to be part of the STARDOM on that night at Dream Queendom.

• Wing☆Gori (Hanan & Saya Iida) (c) vs FWC (Hazuki & Koguma) (14:26)
• 27/04/2025
• World Wonder Ring Stardom 
• Goddesses Of Stardom Championship Match
• Stardom All Star Grand Queendom 2025 
• FLOURISH or REGROUP: FWC regroup from a frustrating loss.
• ZERO: ★★★★1/2

Inner faction was the name of the game for this one. This is particularly because of the tension between Hanan and Hazuki during the All Star Grand Queendom press conference. So this had a unique feeling out of the matches I have seen in these matches. Especially with Hanan and Hazuki beating the shit out of each other, and it ended with Hanan pinning Hazuki with Backdrop Hold. If you like wrestling matches with uncomfortable tension, then this will be for you.

• AKINO vs Hazuki (15:54)
• 17/08/2025
• OZ Academy 
• OZ Academy Plum No Hanasaku OZ No Kuni 2025
• FLOURISH or REGROUP: AKINO makes Hazuki regroup with a victory over her.
• ZERO: ★★★★1/4

We take a mini trip to OZ Academy for this one. I won't lie to you, AKINO sounded like either a veteran or a rising prospect. My prediction was proven correct as it was a veteran. Much like all of the matches on this, it's really good, but there is one moment I can't unsee. During parts of the match, some other wrestlers like ZONES, Honoka, Cohaku, etc, were tightening up some of the turnbuckles as it seems like it was loose. When AKINO jumped off the top rope to hit a dropkick, you clearly hear metal click which does show it was a bit loose. Good match, but it is interesting note to take out of it.

• Hazuka (c) vs Mei Seira (18:10)
• 11/01/2026
• World Wonder Ring Stardom 
• CMLL-Japan Women's Championship Match
• Stardom New Year Stars 2026 In Korakuen Hall, Day 2 
• FLOURISH or REGROUP: Hazuki got her win back over Mei Seira to flourish.
• ZERO: ★★★★3/4

You can call this a rematch from their High Speed title match in November. These two faced off once again, but this time it was for Hazuki's CMLL-Japan Women's title. This match was different feeling compared to the previous as both women had more counter attacks and reversals and combining it with moves that they wouldn't be able to pull off in the time spent in the match. I should've said about Mei Seira in the previous sections, she is possibly one of the fastest wrestlers that never cease to amazing me.

• Hazuki (c) vs Olympia (15:55)
• 25/01/2026
• World Wonder Ring Stardom 
• CMLL-Japan Women's Championship Match
• Stardom Awards 2025 In Takadanobaba - Day 2
• FLOURISH or REGROUP: Hazuki survives with Olympia with Flourish.
• ZERO: ★★★★1/4

As CMLL and Stardom have a working relationship, it makes for some unique matchups with Luchadoras and Joshis. Olympia was one of the many luchadoras that traveled to Japan to compete in many promotions and it is especially around the time of CMLL and NJPW Fantastica Mania tour. At Stardom's 2025 Awards show in Takadanobaba, Hazuki and Olympia had more of a David vs Goliath bout. It can take you by surprise when you see matches in both genres of professional wrestling. I highly recommend it if you like that kind of stuff.

• Hazuki & Fuwa-chan vs Spark Rush (Sareee & Takumi Iroha) (12:21)
• 28/02/2026
• World Wonder Ring Stardom 
• Special Tag Team Match
• Stardom (Feb 28)
• FLOURISH or REGROUP: Hazuki regroups with a battered Fuwa-chan.
• ZERO: ★★★★1/2

Okay, not the match you'd expect to end with, but yeah. Hazuki has been Fuwa-chan's tag team partner for a quite a while and as a team, they had a tough test against Spark Rush. That being the team of Sareee and Takumi Iroha. Hazuki had more of a tame time as this was essentially Sareee and Takumi Iroha just beating the shit out of Fuwa-chan. Ah, poor Fuwa-chan.

Post: That was great wasn't it? Yeah I am never doing these amount of matches again to be honest. This took way longer it was initially intended which really frustrates me. But I have finished this and I hope you do enjoy the fact that I have a huge amount of matches that I have set for one person. This will be the first and hopefully the last time I will give 10+ matches. I'll make sure to do less and have fun wherever you're at. PEACE.

Kind Regards,

ZERO (or Archer)
