Yoshiko Hirano (平野 芳子, Hirano Yoshiko; born July 26, 1993), known mononymously as Yoshiko (世志琥, Yoshiko; originally 世IV虎), is a Japanese professional wrestler. She is working for Seadlinnng.
She debuted with the World Wonder Ring Stardom promotion in January 2011, forming a successful partnership with Natsuki☆Taiyo, with the two winning the Goddesses of Stardom Championship and the 2012 Goddesses of Stardom Tag League. Following Taiyo's retirement, Yoshiko won Stardom's top title, the World of Stardom Championship, in August 2014. Yoshiko's reign ended in controversy in February 2015, when she went off script during a match with Act Yasukawa, legitimately beating and injuring her. Afterwards, Yoshiko was out of the World of Stardom Championship, suspended and eventually announced her retirement. However, she soon returned to professional wrestling, and in February 2016, started working for Nanae Takahashi's new promotion Seadlinnng. She later made a special appearance at All Star Dream Cinderella, in a match against Mayu Iwatani.
