There was concern over Kimura on Friday after she posted images that appeared to show self-harm and a caption that led people to believe she may have tried to commit suicide.

Kimura recently appeared on “Terrace House,” which is a Japanese reality show on Netflix. Her reaction to an incident on that show led to fans turning on her and attacking her online, which appears to be a contributing factor in the mental health decline before her passing.

Kimura was a top Stardom talent and was a second generation talent as her mother is Kyoko Kimura. She debuted back in 2016 and was a one-time Goddess of Stardom Champion and a two-time Artist of Stardom Champion.

She appeared for other promotions in Japan and worked a dark match at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 14 event back in January, teaming with Giulia for a loss to Arisa Hoshiki and Mayu Iwatani. Kimura was ranked #60 on the PWI Female 100 list for 2018.
