In September 2012, she suffered an injury during a kickboxing practice which caused a long absence.[5]

She made her full return to the WNC Wrestle Battlefield Convention on 26 January 2014 in a duo with Kaho Kobayashi, she played against Makoto and Miyako Matsumoto, but succumbed to Makoto's spear move.[10] Her ring name used was her real name, and her costume was also renewed.

In 2015, she joined JWP Joshi Puroresu with Eri who was renamed from Eri Susae and later joined the "JWP Tag League the Best". On 8 March 2015 she took part in Stardom's Shinkiba Competition.[13] On 14 June, at the Stadium Korakuen Hall Competition, her fight with Hatsuhinode Kamen became her first solo victory.
