Outlook - Right alongside her teacher AKINO is the best ARISON has to offer. Mika Akino came into the camp and worked very hard and proved to be a natural talent, which made up for her later-than-normal start. She was a fantastic rookie and while she didn't get the star treatment of Ayako Hamada, she was almost inarguably the better worker. As AKINO, she was able to show some flair. Then she dawned a mask and become "noki-A" adapting a more lucha-based style and she really took off. She's arguably ARISON's best talent right now, perhaps the most well-rounded and better than anyone at working lucha. It's unfortunate Hamada took up so much of people's time and then left ARISON because it took away from the exceptional abilities of AKINO/noki-A, who seems to be battling Yoshida and Fujita for that best worker spot in their own distinct ways.
