KIMBER LEE TO MAKE SHIMMER DEBUT!
SHIMMER - WOMEN ATHLETES is proud announce the addition of KIMBER LEE to all of our events during the month of April! She will be a part of SHIMMER 53 on April 6th at the Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus, NJ, as well as the SHIMMER 54-57 tapings on April 13th & 14th at the Berwyn Eagles Club in Berwyn, IL!

Kimber Lee is one of the rising stars to come out of the Northeast independent scene within the past two years. Kimber is a graduate of the Combat Zone Wrestling training program. Aside from competing on events promoted by CZW, she has also had the chance to be a part of events in the United States presented by Absolute Intense Wrestling (on several of their Girls Night Out cards), Women Superstars Uncensored, and our sister promotion SHINE, among others. Kimber also had the valuable opportunity to go on her first tour of Japan during 2012 for the REINA promotion.

YUU YAMAGATA TO MAKE SHIMMER DEBUT IN BERWYN!
![[image]](http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa28/shimmerwrestling/shimmer2/yamagata1.jpg "[image]")
Japan's Yuu Yamagata is a twelve year veteran of professional wrestling. She got her start in the ARSION promotion, debuting in December of 2000 against Mariko Yoshida. Yamagata soon moved on to become a part of Kaientai Dojo, training under TAKA Michinoku. She currently competes most frequently on shows promoted by Pro Wrestling WAVE. In just four weeks time, she will head to the United States to make her SHIMMER debut!

TOMOKA NAKAGAWA ADDED TO ALL APRIL EVENTS!
Another of the more recent additions to the April events for SHIMMER is Tomoka Nakagawa. Tomoka is one of the visiting joshi athletes who has seen the most ring time in SHIMMER thus far. She made her SHIMMER debut in early 2010 as part of the initial Joshi 4 Hope entourage, and immediately made an impression with an amazing match against rival Ayumi Kurihara.
![[image]](http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa28/shimmerwrestling/shimmer2/tomokannc.jpg "[image]")
Nakagawa's nefarious ways quickly caught everyone's attention, including Daizee Haze. The two soon formed a tag team, and were able to briefly hold the SHIMMER Tag Team Championship, capturing the titles at SHIMMER 40 from Hiroyo Matsumoto & Misaki Ohata.
![[image]](http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa28/shimmerwrestling/shimmer2/4tomokagrn3.png "[image]")
Nakagawa's willingness to break rules, manipulate referees, spit water into the eyes of her opponents, and unleash a wide variety of devastating kicks have made her one of the most feared competitors on the roster.
Tomoka's most recent tag team partner in SHIMMER competition is "Rate Tank" Kellie Skater. The two formed a friendship during one of Skater's tours of Japan, resulting in the team known as the "Global Green Gangstas" or "3G." They successfully entered the SHIMMER tag team ranks at SHIMMER 52, and intend to continue as a global (and green) tag team force during the month of April!
