nihongo|Toshie Uematsu|植松 寿絵|Uematsu Toshie is a female Professional Wrestler best known for her popularity in the 1990s and 2000s. She was one of the members of the first class of wrestlers trained by Chigusa Nagayo when Nagayo formed the GAEA Japan promotion. Uematsu is currently a free-lancer.

Career

Toshie Uematsu debutted at the age of 21 on April 15, 1995 at Memorial First Gong, the first show of the GAEA Japan joshi puroresu promotion. [cite web| url=http://www.purolove.com/joshi/gaea/results/results95.php |title=1995 GAEA Results |accessdate=2007-06-10 |publisher=PUROLOVE.com] In 1997, several GAEA wrestlers, including Uematsu, appeared in World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Uematsu was entered in the inaugural tournament for the newly created women's cruiserweight title. She won the tournament, defeating Malia Hosaka on April 7, 1997 in Hunstville, Alabama to become the first holder of the WCW Women's Cruiserweight Championship. Uematsu lost the belt to Yoshiko Tamura on July 19, 1997 and the belt was abandoned soon afterwards. On February 17th 2004, Uematsu and her partner, Ran Yu-Yu won the AAAW Tag Team title for the first time when they beat Chikayo Nagashima and Meiko Satomura by countout (in Japan, a title can change hands on a countout). Uematsu and Yu-Yu were a cunning combo, winning most of their matches by countout after luring their opponents as far away from the ring as they could. They won the belts for the second time on April 3, 2005, defeating Manami Toyota and Carlos Amano. [cite web| url=http://www.purolove.com/joshi/gaea/results/results05.php |title=2005 GAEA Results |accessdate=2007-06-10 |publisher=PUROLOVE.com] The championship was retired one week later when the GAEA promotion closed; Uematsu and Yu-Yu lost to Sugar Sato and Chikayo Nagashima in a non-title match on the final card. Uematsu has stayed busy since, wrestling as a free-lancer for several joshi promotions.
