Nonoka Seto is set to bring her professional wrestling career to a close.

ChocoPro announced that Seto will graduate from professional wrestling, with her final appearance scheduled for the promotion’s September 20 event. Rather than competing in a final match, Seto is slated to serve as a second during the show.

The announcement marks the end of a relatively brief but distinct run for Seto, who is 26 years old and has been involved in professional wrestling since 2023. She began her career with Gatoh Move before later making the transition to ChocoPro.

Seto has not wrestled since May 2025. Her planned appearance on September 20 will therefore be her first announced involvement at a wrestling event in more than a year, while also serving as the formal conclusion of her time in the industry.

A Final ChocoPro Appearance For Nonoka Seto

ChocoPro’s notice identifies September 20 as the date of Seto’s final appearance. The promotion has not announced that she will wrestle on the card, and the stated role of second is an important distinction. In wrestling, a second can accompany a competitor, offer support from ringside, and be part of the presentation of a match without being an active participant.

That arrangement gives Seto a chance to take part in the event and say farewell within the ChocoPro environment without requiring her to return to in-ring action. No final opponent, match, or additional on-show role was included in the announcement.

As a result, the September 20 event stands as the key date for supporters who want to recognize Seto’s departure from wrestling. The focus will be on her final appearance rather than a retirement bout.

The term “graduating” is frequently used in Japanese professional wrestling and idol-adjacent entertainment spaces to describe a performer’s departure. In Seto’s case, ChocoPro’s announcement makes clear that the graduation concerns professional wrestling itself. The language presents the September 20 appearance as the closing point of her career in the sport.

Seto Started Wrestling In 2023

Seto entered professional wrestling in 2023 through Gatoh Move. That start connected her to a promotion and training environment known for its close relationship with ChocoPro, where performers can work in an intimate setting and where personality, adaptability, and direct audience engagement are central parts of the experience.

She later moved to ChocoPro, continuing her wrestling journey under a banner that has become an established home for the wider Gatoh Move-associated scene. While Seto’s career was not lengthy by wrestling standards, beginning in 2023 and concluding with the September 20 farewell appearance gives her time in the business a clear arc: an initial start with Gatoh Move, a move into ChocoPro, and a final public appearance with ChocoPro attached to her departure.

Seto was 26 at the time of the announcement. No reason for her decision to graduate from wrestling was provided. ChocoPro’s statement centered on the forthcoming final appearance and did not offer further details regarding what comes next for Seto.

It is important not to read more into the announcement than has been stated. There has been no announced injury, no cited contract matter, and no disclosed backstage issue connected to her departure. The confirmed information is simply that Seto is finishing her wrestling career and will serve as a second on September 20.

Her Most Recent Match Took Place In May 2025

Seto’s final match to date occurred in May 2025. She has not wrestled since then, making the gap between her last in-ring appearance and her scheduled farewell notable. The September 20 show will not end an active weekly run in the ring; instead, it will provide a formal closing moment after an extended period away from competition.

For wrestlers whose departures come after time outside the ring, a final appearance can carry a different kind of significance. It allows the promotion, fellow performers, and fans to acknowledge a career that may otherwise have ended quietly with a last match that was not known at the time to be a final one.

That is what ChocoPro’s September 20 event now represents for Seto. Although she is not currently slated for a match, her presence as a second ensures that her exit will be recognized in front of the wrestling community where she spent the latter portion of her career.

ChocoPro has not announced whether Seto will make a speech, be involved in a ceremony, or have any other dedicated farewell segment. Those details remain unconfirmed. Fans will have to wait for further event information if the promotion chooses to expand on how her graduation will be presented.

What Is Confirmed About The September 20 Show

  • Nonoka Seto is graduating from professional wrestling.
  • Her final appearance is scheduled for September 20.
  • She will serve as a second on that event.
  • Seto is 26 years old.
  • She began wrestling in 2023 with Gatoh Move.
  • She later moved to ChocoPro.
  • Her most recent match was in May 2025.

Those details outline a straightforward farewell, but they also leave room for ChocoPro to shape the event around Seto’s final appearance. The promotion has confirmed the essential information without revealing a full rundown of how she will be featured.

Serving as a second is especially fitting for a farewell in a promotion built on close interaction between wrestlers. A second’s role can be small or highly visible depending on the match and presentation, but it places Seto close to the action and among the performers she has shared the ChocoPro space with.

It also means her final credited involvement will be tied to supporting another wrestler rather than pursuing an individual victory. That is not unusual in a wrestling environment where alliances, camaraderie, and the broader cast of a show can be as meaningful as the match results themselves.

A Short Career With A Defined Closing Date

Professional wrestling careers take many forms. Some performers compete for decades, while others leave after only a few years for personal or professional reasons that are not always made public. Seto’s career falls into the latter category in terms of length, having started in 2023 and now reaching its conclusion in 2026.

Even so, the announcement of a final appearance provides a degree of finality that not every wrestler receives. Seto’s transition from Gatoh Move to ChocoPro, her last match in May 2025, and her scheduled September 20 role now form the known milestones of her time in professional wrestling.

There is no indication that Seto will resume wrestling before that date. There is likewise no announced final match. ChocoPro’s confirmed plan is for her to appear as a second, and that is the role through which her graduation will be marked.

For ChocoPro followers, September 20 will be an opportunity to acknowledge Seto’s contribution to the promotion and to her earlier Gatoh Move beginnings. For Seto, it will be the last announced chapter of a wrestling career that began only three years earlier.

The upcoming show will close with one fact already established: Nonoka Seto’s time as a professional wrestler is coming to an end, and ChocoPro will host her final appearance on September 20.
