The Tanaka family of Osaka Japan belongs to a house of the secretive society known as the Coven. The elder Tanaka a professional wrestler turned politician, failed the owner of that Japanese house & was slated for punishment. The Tanaka family though is thought of very highly in the Osaka Coven house, so the leader of the house came up with a unique punishment. The Tanaka family retained their importance in the Osaka house, but one of their children was to be ‘given’ to another Coven house.

The elder Tanaka chose his youngest ( and illegitimate ) daughter Shiori, to receive the family’s punishment. Shiori was given to Samantha Royale the ruler of the New York house, under the provision she punish her. Hearing of Shiori’s love for professional wrestling, much like her daughter, Serena Royale, Samantha decided on a punishment that amused her. Samantha decided to give Shiori to her daughters as a gift, as another 'sister'. Shiori would also be allowed to compete in professional wrestling, but NOT win.

Shiori became a part of the Royale ‘family’, acting as Simone Royale’s bodyguard, and losing as a Dark Match Diva. Serena actually having competed against Shiori in Japan, felt sorry for Shi. Serena eventually grew very close to Shiori, like a real sister. This prompted Serena to ask a favor of their mother Samantha. Serena offered to give up her professional wrestling career & work for the family, and in return Shiori would be freed of her punishment & allowed to freely compete.

In an effort to bring all of the Royale Family closer, Simone Royale came up with a plan to get Shiori officially into 3WL. Capitalizing on the drama going on with the Soone Twins & Oni Kymiku, along with some information from Nyako, Shiori took the place of a incapacitated & masked Fukumi Soone. Under this mask, Shiori won a tables gauntlet match in the inaugural ALCW show, earning her a spot in 3WL. Shiori Royale then realizing the benefits of joining a stable like her sister Serena did with the Violent Femmes. Shiori choose to join with ‘Oni’ Kymiku & her sister Nyako, forming a stable that would later be called the United Sisters of Asia.

This decision to join with ‘Oni’ has put Shiori at odds with her sister Serena, for the actions ‘Oni’ has committed against Serena’s best friend Nicky Silver. It’s another example of the ever changing Shiori Royale.
