Hikaru Shida (志田 光, Shida Hikaru, born June 11, 1988)[1][3][4] is a Japanese professional wrestler, martial artist, actress, and model. She is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where she is a former three-time AEW Women's World Champion, with her first reign being the longest in the title's history. She also wrestles for AEW's sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH), and for Japanese promotions Oz Academy and Pro Wrestling Wave.

Shida started her professional wrestling career in 2008, when she joined the Ice Ribbon promotion, after taking part in a film titled Three Count, set in the world of professional wrestling. She remained with the promotion until 2014, becoming a one-time ICE×60 Champion and five-time International Ribbon Tag Team Champion. Shida has also held the Wave Single Championship twice, the Oz Academy Tag Team Championship, and the Sendai Girls Tag Team Championship. She joined AEW as one of its original female wrestlers in April 2019, and she is one of two women (the other being Toni Storm) to have won the AEW Women's World Championship for a record-tying three times. She also holds the record for the title's longest reign at 372 days, which she accomplished during her first reign.
