nihongo|Plum Mariko|プラム麻里子| |Born Mariko Umeda on November 1, 1967 - August 16, 1997 was a Japanese Female Professional wrestler who wrestled for Japanese Women's Pro Wrestling from 1986 to 1992 and then, JWP from 1992 until her death in 1997. Mariko was the first professional wrestler in Japan to die as a result of injuries suffered in a wrestling match.

During her career, Mariko received many ring injuries which eventually resulted in a brain abscess. She had suffered several concussions previously, but had continued to wrestle. Following a match on August 15, 1997 where she teamed with Commando Boirshoi against Mayumi Ozaki & Rieko Amano, Mariko passed out and died a few hours later on August 16, 1997.

No postmortem was performed on her at the request of her father. Despite this, Mariko was said to have had head injuries and an abscess on her brain which may have contributed to the brain damage that killed her.

Mariko was posthumously inducted into the All Japan Women's Hall of Fame on November 29, 1998.
