Bull Nakano is a retired professional wrestler best known for her brief tenure as a villainess in WWE.
WWE & WCW[]
After a decade of competing in her native Japan and in Mexico, Bull Nakano debuted for the then-named World Wrestling Federation at the 1994 SummerSlam event, doing so as the associate of the villainous Luna Vachon during her feud with Women's Champion Alundra Blayze. Nakano failed to dethrone Blayze as champion at the event, but three months later, Nakano captured the title from Blayze in Japan. She held the WWF Women's Championship for five months before losing the title back to Blayze in April 1995.
Both women were out of the WWF shortly afterwards, but after Blayze joined WCW as Madusa, Nakano was brought in as a villainous rival for Madusa. The rivals faced each other at WCW's Hog Wild event in August of 1996, with Nakano losing to Madusa, who later destroyed Nakano's motorcycle as part of the stipulation. Nakano retired from wrestling in 1997 due to nagging injuries.

Bull Nakano as a heel manager at RISE Wrestling
On September 15, 2017, it was announced during RISE Wrestling's Bellatrix 26/RISE 4: Warriors Rise event that Bull Nakano would join the promotion as a trainer and facilitator, joining not only Cheerleader Melissa, but also Nakano's former rival, Madusa, in the same role. Nakano turned heel at RISE 6: Brutality on December 1, when she aligned with villainous wrestlers Kikyo, Dynamite DiDi, and the debuting Kris Wolf to form a modified version of Gokumon-To, Nakano's villainous stable during her time in Japan. After the trio attacked Cheerleader Melissa during her match with Kikyo, the evil Nakano entered and attacked Melissa with a set of nunchucks, cementing Nakano as a villainess and the mastermind of the new stable.
Nakano returned later in the event as a heel manager for Kris Wolf during her match against Shotzi Blackheart, who had Madusa at her side, reigniting their past rivalry. Despite getting cheered during her intro due to her legendary status, Nakano displayed her heel persona and provided interference during the match by attacking Shotzi, allowing Wolf to defeat her opponent.
