Summary

Hikari Noa is set to make her in-ring return on June 21 at Unagi Sayaka's next self-produced independent show. The announcement was made during a press conference on April 11.

That will mark Noa's first match since December 2023. She last competed while still part of Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling, before requesting her departure from the promotion in May 2024.

Hikari Noa's first match back since leaving TJPW

No opponent or match details were included in the announcement, but the return itself is notable because Noa has been out of action for well over two years by the time the June event arrives.

Her comeback also gives Unagi Sayaka's self-produced show an immediate point of interest. A returning name with Noa's profile can help anchor an independent card, especially when fans have not seen her wrestle since the end of 2023.

What the June 21 show could mean for Hikari Noa

For Noa, the biggest consequence is simple: once she is back in the ring, she is back in the conversation for future joshi bookings. Return stories have been a steady part of the wrestling calendar lately, including Bron Breakker cleared for in-ring return after hernia surgery, but Noa's situation stands out because of how long she has been away.

For Unagi Sayaka, announcing Noa for the June 21 event gives the show a clear hook before any full card is revealed. If the return goes smoothly, this could turn a one-match comeback into a broader independent run for Noa.
