Wave Single Championship#Reigns

On December 5, 2012, Pro Wrestling Wave's founder and booker Gami announced the creation of the Wave Single Championship. Prior to the announcement, Wave, which was founded in August 2007, had no singles championships; instead the annual Catch the Wave tournament served as the promotion's top singles achievement.

Gami then announced that the inaugural champion would be determined in a four-woman single-elimination "Regina di Wave" tournament, which would include three former winners of Catch the Wave; Ayumi Kurihara (winner of the 2012 tournament), Kana (2011) and Yumi Ohka (2009), and the winner of a one-night Zan-1 tournament, a three-round tournament, which included a battle royal, a rock-paper-scissors round and a fan vote. Gami herself was also a former Catch the Wave winner from 2010, but decided not to put herself in the title tournament. On December 16, Misaki Ohata won the Zan-1 tournament to earn the fourth and final spot in the title tournament.{{cite web | url = http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/news/f-bt-tp0-20121216-1060636.html | script-title=ja:大畠、シングル王座決定戦進出／Wave | date=December 16, 2012 | accessdate=March 17, 2013 | work=Nikkan Sports | language=Japanese}} On January 23, 2013, a random draw decided that in the first round of the tournament on February 17, Ayumi Kurihara would face Kana, while Misaki Ohata would face Yumi Ohka.{{cite web | url = http://www.pro-w-wave.com/weekday_WAVE/20130123/over.html | title = Weekday Wave Vol-57 | accessdate=March 17, 2013 | work=Pro Wrestling Wave | language=Japanese}}{{cite web | url = http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/news/f-bt-tp0-20130123-1075769.html | script-title=ja:シングル王座かけ４選手が激突／Wave | date=January 23, 2012 | accessdate=March 17, 2013 | work=Nikkan Sports | language=Japanese}} The finals of the tournament were set to take place on March 17.{{cite web | url=http://www.pro-w-wave.com/Regina_di_WAVE/index.html | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20130101023127/http://www.pro-w-wave.com/Regina_di_WAVE/index.html | title=Regina di Wave | archivedate=January 1, 2013 | url-status=live | accessdate=March 17, 2013 | work=Pro Wrestling Wave | language=Japanese}} On February 16, Wave announced that Kurihara had suffered a nasal and orbital floor fracture and would be forced to pull out of the tournament.{{cite web | url=http://www.pro-w-wave.com/ | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20130306004032/http://www.pro-w-wave.com/ | script-title=ja:栗原あゆみが怪我のために欠場/華名の対戦相手には紫雷美央が決定。 | date=February 16, 2013 | archivedate=March 6, 2013 | url-status=live | accessdate=March 17, 2013 | work=Pro Wrestling Wave | language=Japanese}} She would be replaced by Mio Shirai, who had finished second in the Zan-1 tournament.{{cite web | url = http://battle-news.com/news/2013/02/001702.php | script-title=ja:眼窩底＆鼻骨骨折の栗原に代わり、美央が2・17『Regina di Waveトーナメント』1回戦で暫定的に華名と対戦！| date=February 16, 2013 | accessdate=March 17, 2013 | work=Battle News | language=Japanese}} In the following day's semifinal matches, Kana defeated Shirai, while Ohka defeated Ohata.
