Sukeban

Sukeban might not be the image of Japan that first appears in your head when you think of the country, but the female wrestling league is growing worldwide. After sold-out fights across the US, its now coming to London for the first time for one big bout that will see the undefeated World Champion Commander Nakajima face off against Sareee Bomb for the Championship Belt. There’ll also be further fights pitting teams, including the Cherry Bomb Girls, the Vandals and the Harajuku Stars against each other, a special singles match, and a tag team grudge match. Sukeban isn’t just about the fighting, though – it’s also about the aesthetics, and Pat McGrath will create new makeup looks for each of the wrestlers, while the storylines around the event will be elevated by new manga illustrations by artists Hizgi and Saitemiss.
