Career
On June 10, 2004, Hiroko made her debut as Kenzo Suzuki's geisha valet and translator on World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)'s SmackDown! brand. In November 2004, Hiroko began feuding with Torrie Wilson and numerous catfights took place between the two divas. On an episode of SmackDown! airing February 10, 2005, Torrie defeated Hiroko in a kimono match. Hiroko and Kenzo were traded to the RAW brand on June 30, 2005 at the end of the 2005 Draft Lottery. However, they were both released by the WWE on July 6, 2005 without ever appearing on RAW. The move was seen as cost-cutting since several other wrestlers were released at the same time, as well as over the course of several weeks. In late 2005, Hiroko Suzuki became the General Manager for Japan's HUSTLE promotion
