This was HANAKO's first title defense for the Future Championship, and
the first time it was held at an overseas event.
In a head-to-head battle against her rival Sakura Aya, who also debuted on the same day, HANAKO overwhelmed her opponent with power from the start.
Sakura Aya fought back with attacks on the legs, mainly low kicks, and the match
became a battle of wills between the two.
In the end, HANAKO slammed Sakura Aya down with a spectacular JP Coaster,
successfully defending her title for the first time.
