LiLiCo moved to Japan in 1988 at the age of 18, initially staying with her grandmother in Katsushika, Tokyo.[3] In May 1989, LiLiCo embarked on a career as a singer,[3] releasing her first single in 1992.[4] In 2001, she was offered a job as a film critic on TBS's Saturday morning King's Brunch programme.[3]

In 2014, LiLiCo began working for Japanese professional wrestling company DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT), where, over the next three years, she won the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship twice and the DDT Extreme Championship once, while also becoming part of the inaugural KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Champions.[5][6][7][8]

After having fractured her patella in 2020, forcing her to give up wrestling,[9] LiLiCo was invited back to DDT to have a retirement match on March 20, 2022, at Judgement 2022: DDT 25th Anniversary.[10]
