Japanese wrestler Mina Shirakawa celebrates Ganesh Chaturthi, reflects on cultural connection

Japanese wrestler and idol Mina Shirakawa, who currently signs the World Wonder Ring Stardom, was seen celebrating one of India’s biggest festivals, Ganesh Chaturthi in a temple in Bangkok, Thailand. The people of India have an immense belief in Lord Ganesha, and it is celebrated with a lot of pomp and grandeur. It is very exciting to see one of the wrestling’s great shows of appreciation for an Indian God. 

Through an adorable Instagram post, Mina Shirakawa posted that she had whispered her wishes in the ears of Lord Ganesh and she wondered if God could actually understand what she spoke to him in Japanese and breach the language barrier, She wrote, “Apparently it can make your wishes come true three times faster. It seems that if you whisper your wish into the ear of the messenger mouse, Ganesha will convey it to you. I whispered it in Japanese, but I wonder if it will actually get through to him lol.”

Mina Shirakawa wins Gold in Stardom

Recently, Mina Shirakawa earned Gold in Stardom as she became the new Undisputed British Women’s Champion. She was able to defeat Dani Luna in order to win at Stardom. It had only been a few weeks since Mina had returned to the company as she ended up becoming a Champion. It was good news for the star as she ended up becoming a Champion. In the encounter with Dani Luna, Mina faced a formidable wrestler who had a record win in the previous 252 days. This undoubtedly was a huge achievement as Mina Shirakawa was able to defend her title in six instances. 

Although Mina was not the initial choice to face Dani Luna, Stephanie Vaquer was originally slated to take in the bout, plans changed when Vaquer was signed by WWE, and Mina replaced Vaquer,  ultimately becoming the new RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Champion.
