Until 1997, Ozaki usually wrestled in JWP Joshi Puroresu, but was also the leader of her own heel stable called the Oz Academy,[

which freelanced in other women's promotions in Japan, such as AJW and GAEA Japan. In 1998 Ozaki became a true free agent, and began to promote her own shows using her Oz Academy wrestlers, looking for a niche in the fragmented women's puroresu scene. Ozaki made her mark mostly in tag team matches as she competed in four bouts that were among the greatest ever in women's tag team wrestling, having earned a 5-star rating each by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.[Ozaki visited the States to join tournament, and notably, the 2006 Queen of the Death Match Tournament.

Ozaki ended up a finalist. ]
