Professional wrestling career

Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling (2005–2016)

On October 2, 2005, Jumonji, along with her sister Chisako, took part in a professional wrestling audition held by Meiko Satomura. After passing the audition, both of the Jumonji sisters were admitted to the first training class of Satomura's new Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling promotion, and began training under her the following December. Jumonji made her professional wrestling debut on July 9, 2006, at Sendai Girls' first ever event, where she, working under the ring name Sachiko Kanari, was defeated by Kyoko Inoue. Much like her sister, Jumonji's career started with a losing streak, which finally ended on May 6, 2007, when she defeated Yurie Kaneko. In August, the Jumonji sisters began regularly wrestling together as a tag team, and on September 8, both of them were given new ring names, when Sachiko began wrestling as Sendai Sachiko and her sister as Dash Chisako. In late 2007, the sisters also began making appearances for Ibuki and JWP Joshi Puroresu, with one notable match seeing the Jumonji sisters defeating the Shirai sisters ( Io and Mio) on December 31, 2007, at JWP's ''5th Junior All Star'' event.

Following the loss, both Sachiko and Chisako began concentrating on their singles careers. On January 18, 2008, Sachiko made it to the finals of the ''1st New Year'' tournament, before losing to Ryo Mizunami. On May 23, Sachiko was eliminated by Ayako Sato in the quarterfinals of her first Jaja Uma tournament. The following month, Sachiko reformed her tag team with her sister. On December 21, the Jumonji sisters made it to the finals of a one night tag team tournament, before losing to the team of Devil Masami and Ryo Mizunami. Back in Ibuki, Sachiko received her first singles championship shot, when she unsuccessfully challenged Hiroyo Matsumoto for the JWP Junior and Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championships on February 1, 2009. On March 29, Sachiko entered Sendai's 2009 Jaja Uma tournament, defeating Yamada in her first match, the second round of the tournament. On April 19, Sachiko first defeated Misaki Ohata in the semifinals and then Ryo Mizunami in the finals to win the 2009 Jaja Uma tournament. However, Sachiko's singles career came to a halt on May 31, 2009, when she broke her fibula and tore ligaments in her left ankle in an Ibuki match, where she, Ryo Mizunami and Yukari Ishino faced Esui, Fuka and Shuu Shibutani, leaving her sidelined from professional wrestling for ten months.

Sachiko finally made her return on April 9, 2010, losing to Dash Chisako in the first round of the ''2nd Battle Field'' tournament. The following month, the Jumonji sisters reformed their tag team. On August 22, Sachiko made her debut for the Oz Academy promotion, teaming with Chisako in a tag team match, where they were defeated by Hiroyo Matsumoto and Tomoka Nakagawa. On September 23, Sachiko made her debut for Ice Ribbon, taking part in the interpromotional rivalry between Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling and Ice Ribbon, when she, Chisako, Hiren, Kagetsu and Ryo Mizunami teamed in a ten-woman captain's fall tag team match, where they defeated Makoto, Hikaru Shida, Kazumi Shimouna, Natsuki☆Taiyo and Tsukasa Fujimoto. In January 2011, Sachiko began an extended tour of working exclusively for Okinawa Pro Wrestling; the tour was eventually extended until May 23, due to Sendai Girls' going inactive in the aftermath of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, which caused severe damage to the city of Sendai. On July 7, Sachiko returned to Sendai Girls', working at the promotion's first event since the disaster. During 2011, Sachiko also made debuts for World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana, World Wonder Ring Stardom and Universal Woman's Pro Wrestling Reina, where she made it to the semifinals of the CMLL-Reina International Junior Championship tournament, before losing to Zeuxis. After defeating the Lovely Butchers ( Hamuko Hoshi and Mochi Miyagi) at an Ice Ribbon event on August 21, 2011, the Jumonji sisters were invited to take part in a tournament to determine the new International Ribbon Tag Team Champions. On September 24, Sachiko and Chisako entered the one night tournament, first defeating Hikari Minami and Riho in the first round and then the Lovely Butchers in the semifinals. Finally, Sachiko and Chisako defeated the team of Manami Toyota and Tsukushi in the finals to win the vacant International Ribbon Tag Team Championship, the first title for both of the sisters. The Jumonji sisters made their first title defense on October 15, wrestling Tsukasa Fujimoto and Tsukushi to a time limit draw, which meant that they were stripped of the title, which was again declared vacant. On October 27, both Sachiko and Chisako were entered into Team Sendai in the Joshi Puroresu Dantai Taikou Flash tournament, a single-elimination tournament, where different '' joshi'' promotions battled each other. In their first round match, Team Sendai, which besides the Jumonji sisters included Kagetsu, Meiko Satomura and Miyako Morino, defeated Team Ice Ribbon, which included Emi Sakura, Hikari Minami, Hikaru Shida, Tsukasa Fujimoto and Tsukushi. As each round progressed in the tournament, the number of participants in each team was reduced, which meant that neither Sachiko nor Chisako wrestled in the remaining matches, but were ringside for the finals, where Kagetsu and Satomura defeated Team Stardom's Nanae Takahashi and Yoshiko to win the tournament for Team Sendai. The rivalry between Sendai Girls' and Ice Ribbon ended on December 25, 2011, at ''RibbonMania'', where Sachiko and Meiko Satomura faced Emi Sakura and Tsukushi in a decision match for the vacant International Ribbon Tag Team Championship. The match ended with Tsukushi pinning Sachiko for the win, earning Ice Ribbon the final victory over Sendai Girls', who had previously dominated the rivalry.

From January to March 2012, the Jumonji sisters took part in JWP's Tag League the Best, contested for the JWP and Daily Sports Women's Tag Team Championships. After two wins and two losses, Sachiko and Chisako failed to advance to the finals of the tournament. On March 12, Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling presented a special exhibition tag team match at a Dragon Gate event in Sendai, in which the Jumonji sisters were defeated by Kagetsu and Meiko Satomura. On March 19, Chikara announced that Sachiko, along with Dash Chisako, Kagetsu and Meiko Satomura, would be making her American debut for the promotion during its tenth anniversary weekend in May. During the first night of the weekend on May 19 in Easton, Pennsylvania, the Jumonji sisters were defeated in a tag team match by Kagetsu and Satomura. The following day in Manhattan, New York, the Jumonji sisters defeated the Bravado Brothers (Harlem and Lancelot) in an intergender tag team match. On June 25, Sendai Girls' held its final event in the promotion's home arena, Zepp Sendai, which was scheduled to close down the following month. In the main event of the show, Sachiko and Chisako picked up a major win over the veteran tag team of Kyoko Inoue and Manami Toyota. On July 25, Chikara announced that Sachiko would be returning to the promotion in September to participate in the 2012 King of Trios tournament in Easton, Pennsylvania, where she would form a trio with Dash Chisako and Meiko Satomura. Team Sendai Girls wrestled in the opening match of the tournament on September 14 and advanced to the quarter-finals after a win over a team, which included assailAnt and two thirds of the previous year's King of Trios winners, Fire Ant and Green Ant. The following day, Team Sendai Girls picked up another big win, this time over the trio of Jigsaw, Manami Toyota and Mike Quackenbush, to advance to the semifinals of the tournament. On the third and final day of the tournament, Team Sendai Girls was eliminated from the tournament in the semifinals by Team ROH ( Mike Bennett, Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson).

On April 7, Sachiko and Chisako defeated Hanako Nakamori and Morii in the finals to win the 2013 Tag League the Best and become the number one contenders to the Daily Sports Women's Tag Team and JWP Tag Team Championships. The sisters received their title shot on April 14, but were defeated by the defending champions, Kayoko Haruyama and Tsubasa Kuragaki. On October 14, Sachiko made her debut for Pro Wrestling Zero1, losing to Meiko Satomura in another "Sendai Girls' offer match". On November 10, Sachiko and Chisako entered World Wonder Ring Stardom's 2013 Goddesses of Stardom Tag Tournament, but were defeated in their first round match by the previous year's tournament winners, Kawasaki Katsushika Saikyou Densetsu (Natsuki☆Taiyo and Yoshiko). On November 24, the Jumonji sisters returned to JWP Joshi Puroresu, defeating The☆Wanted!? (Kazuki and Sachie Abe) in the first round of a tournament for the vacant JWP and Daily Sports Women's Tag Team Championships.

On April 1, it was announced that Sachiko had injured the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in her left knee during practice, forcing her to undergo surgery the following day. As a result, Sachiko and Chisako vacated the JWP and Daily Sports Women's Tag Team Championships on April 11.

Sachiko's return match took place at a Sendai Girls' event on January 21, 2015, when she and Chisako were defeated in a tag team main event by Command Bolshoi and Kyoko Kimura.
