born April 25, 1991 is a Japanese people professional wrestler, best known for her work in the Ice Ribbon promotion. Trained by Emi Sakura, Tomiya made her debut for Ice Ribbon in October 2008 and during the next three years went on to become a one-time International Ribbon Tag Team and Internet Wrestling 19 Champion, while also holding DDT Pro-Wrestling's Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship once. In August 2011, Tomiya left Ice Ribbon and became a freelancer, adopting the new ring name Mikuro in the process. As a freelancer, she would most notably work for the Reina X World promotion, where she wrestled as the Wrestling mask character Mini Tomato. In September 2013, she signed with the new World Pro-Wrestling Association (WPA) promotion, adopting the new ring name Akubi in the process. Standing at only , she is one of the shortest wrestlers in all of puroresu.
As a sign of her growing status in Ice Ribbon, on January 16, 2010, Tomiya was chosen as the exhibition opponent for two debuting wrestlers, Kurumi and Tsukushi, both of whom would join Ice Ribbon full-time later in the year. On January 23, Tomiya and Riho were defeated by Miyako Matsumoto and Nanae Takahashi in a hardcore match, a match type rarely used in Ice Ribbon. While the match signaled the end of Tomiya's partnership with Riho, it was only the beginning of a storyline rivalry between Tomiya and Miyako Matsumoto. On June 17, Tomiya unsuccessfully challenged Matsumoto for the Triangle Ribbon Championship in a three-way match, which also included Tsukasa Fujimoto. On July 14 and 17, Tomiya scored back-to-back singles match victories over Matsumoto and her new tag team partner, deathmatch wrestler Jun Kasai. The victories led to a match on July 19, where Tomiya teamed with JWP Joshi Puroresu wrestler Command Bolshoi to unsuccessfully challenge Matsumoto and Kasai for the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship. Afterwards, Tomiya recruited deathmatch wrestler Isami Kodaka as her new tag team partner, and on August 7, the two defeated Matsumoto and Kasai to become the new International Ribbon Tag Team Champions. They would go on to lose the title to Gentaro and Mai Ichii on September 23. On October 30, Tomiya unsuccessfully challenged former partner Command Bolshoi for the ICE×60 Championship. On November 12, Tomiya, along with Emi Sakura, Hikaru Shida, Makoto, Sayaka Obihiro and Tsukasa Fujimoto, made an appearance at a press conference held by Smash to promote Sakura's upcoming debut for the promotion. The following month in Ice Ribbon, Tomiya began regularly teaming with former rival Makoto. On December 24, Tomiya made her debut for Smash at Happening Eve, where she teamed with Hikari Minami and Yujiro Kushida in a six-person tag team match, where they were defeated by Isami Kodaka, Makoto and Yusuke Kodama.
On January 4, 2011, Tomiya went through a complete character overhaul, debuting a new look, which included a black and blue two-piece outfit, a new entrance theme and the nickname "Black & Black", with Tomiya now becoming a full-blown villain. On January 15, Tomiya, along with Hikari Minami, Kurumi and Tsukushi became a part of Makoto's new Heisei YTR stable. After pinning ICE×60, International Ribbon Tag Team and Triangle Ribbon Champion Tsukasa Fujimoto in a non-title match on February 16, Tomiya was granted a shot at the ICE×60 Championship seven days later, but was again unsuccessful in her challenge. On March 21, Tomiya ended her long rivalry with Miyako Matsumoto, when she and Kazuhiko Ogasawara were defeated in a hardcore match by Matsumoto and Jun Kasai. On May 5 at Golden Ribbon 2011, Tomiya unsuccessfully challenged Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling representative Kagetsu for the JWP Junior and Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championships. Eight days later, Tomiya unsuccessfully challenged Tsukushi for the Internet Wrestling 19 (IW19) Championship at an 19 O'Clock Girls ProWrestling event. After Hikari Minami became the new IW19 Champion, she offered Tomiya another shot at the title, which led to a match on June 1 at 19 O'Clock Girls ProWrestling's first anniversary event, where Tomiya defeated her to become the third IW19 Champion. Afterwards, Tomiya named her friend Makoto her first challenger for the title, which led to the two agreeing to a "best of nine" series. However, the series had to be cancelled, when Makoto was on June 8 sidelined with a neck injury. Instead, Tomiya went on to make her first defense on June 24, defeating Hikaru Shida. On July 2, Tomiya defeated Mochi Miyagi in the finals of a four-woman tournament to earn the right to represent Ice Ribbon in Smash's Diva Championship tournament. Five days later, Tomiya returned to Smash, confronting her first round opponent, Makoto, at a press conference and accusing her of turning her back on Ice Ribbon in favor of Smash. On July 15 at Smash.19, Tomiya was eliminated from the Smash Diva Championship tournament by Makoto. Back in Ice Ribbon, on July 22, an IW19 Championship match between Tomiya and Makoto ended in a nineteen-minute time limit draw. While the rules of the IW19 Championship stated that the champion retains the title in the event of a time limit draw, Tomiya instead chose to vacate the title afterwards. The reason for this was revealed the following month, when Tomiya announced that she, like Makoto, had decided to leave Ice Ribbon and try to broaden her capabilities as a professional wrestler by turning into a freelancer and opening doors to other promotions. Tomiya wrestled her final Ice Ribbon match on August 28, when she unsuccessfully challenged Hikari Minami for the ICE×60 Championship.
