In 2006, she was introduced to the Karate-do Zendokai association in their Hiroshima branch and, wanting to become a professional martial artist, she moved to Tokyo.[3][5]

Mixed martial arts career

Ishioka debuted with a unanimous decision defeat against Kyoko Takabayashi at Smackgirl - F 2007: The Next Cinderella Tournament 2007 First Stage on March 11, 2007 (2007-03-11).[7][8]

On April 28, 2007 (2007-04-28), Ishioka participated at Smackgirl 2007: The Dance of the Taisho Romance in the Next Cinderella Tournament 2007 lightweight first round, where she defeated Yoko Oyama by unanimous decision.[9][10] In the next round of the tournament, at Smackgirl - F 2007: The Next Cinderella Tournament 2007 2nd Stage on May 19, 2007 (2007-05-19), Mei Yamaguchi defeated Ishioka with a kneebar.[11]

Ishioka rebounded back with three consecutive victories. The first one was against Masako Yoshida, whom Ishioka defeated by unanimous decision on September 6, 2007 (2007-09-06) at Smackgirl 2007: Queens' Hottest Summer.[12] She next defeated Miyuki Ariga, also by unanimous decision, in a match with special rules on November 25, 2007 (2007-11-25) during Kingdom of Grapple Live 2007.[13] Her third consecutive victory came when she defeated American fighter Thricia Poovey by armbar submission at Smackgirl 7th Anniversary: Starting Over on December 26, 2007 (2007-12-26).[14][15]

Her winning streak came to an end on February 14, 2008 (2008-02-14) at the hands of South Korean kickboxer Seo Hee Ham, who defeated Ishioka by unanimous decision in the Smackgirl World ReMix Tournament 2008 Opening Round, during the first round of the lightweight tournament.[16][17]
