Early life

Kodera was born on July 28, 1978 in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.[2][3][3]

Mixed martial arts career

Kodera debuted in mixed martial arts on November 9, 2002, defeating Nana Ichikawa by armbar submission at Smackgirl - Japan Cup 2002 Episode 2.[4] In her next fight, almost two years later, she was defeated by rear naked choke by Mari Kaneko at Golden Muscle - Strongest Queen Tournament on May 7, 2004.[5]

Three years later, Kodera fought and defeated Mamiko Mizoguchi by armbar at Kingdom of Grapple - Live 2007 on November 25, 2007.[6] Kodera would return to Smackgirl, losing against Masako Yoshida by unanimous decision.[7] Her next fight was against Mika Nagano, who defeated Kodera by split decision on April 25, 2008.[8]

After the demise of Smackgirl and one year after her previous fight, Kodera debuted in the Jewels promotion with an armbar submission victory over Yukiko Seki on July 11, 2009 at Jewels 4th Ring.[9] Kodera would then participate in the 2009 Rough Stone Grand Prix 48 kg tournament, defeating Misaki Ozawa by submission (armbar) on September 13, 2009[10] and Kikuyo Ishikawa by decision (unanimous) on December 11, 2009 to win the tournament.[11][12]
