JD Star Women's Pro Wrestling was a Women pro wrestling promotion based in Tokyo, Japan.
The JD STAR promotion was founded on December 24, 1995 by Yoshimoto Kogyo Holdings Co., Ltd., and it ceased operations on July 16, 2007.
In the midst of the joshi wrestling boom of the 1990s, Yoshimoto Kogyo Holdings partnered with legendary wrestler Jaguar Yokota to create JD Star, a company with a focus on the “athtress” — a portmanteau of “athlete” and “actress”. Jd’ would receive middling success throughout much of its existence, and is influential in popularizing the notion of the “idol-wrestler” seen today in promotions such as Stardom and TJPW. The most successful graduate of Jd’ is Fuka, who has had an influential role in shaping the direction of Stardom through much of its early years.
