On October 2, 2005, Jumonji, along with her sister Sachiko, took part in a professional wrestling audition held by Meiko Satomura.[2] After passing the audition, both of the Jumonji sisters were admitted to the first training class of Satomura's new Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling promotion, and began training under her the following December.[2] Jumonji made her professional wrestling debut on July 9, 2006, at Sendai Girls' first ever event, where she, working under the ring name Chisako Kanari, was defeated by Dynamite Kansai via referee stoppage.[3] For the next six months, Kanari was unable to pick up her first win, instead losing to the likes of Chikayo Nagashima, Mariko Yoshida and Meiko Satomura and wrestling her sister to a time limit draw.[3][4] Finally, on January 10, 2007, Kanari picked up her first win, defeating Yurie Kaneko.[4] The following summer, the Jumonji sisters began regularly wrestling together as a tag team, and on September 8, both of them were given new ring names, when Chisako began wrestling as Dash Chisako and her sister as Sendai Sachiko.[5] In late 2007, the sisters also began making appearances for Ibuki and JWP Joshi Puroresu, with one notable match seeing the Jumonji sisters defeating the Shirai sisters (Io and Mio) on December 31, 2007, at JWP's 5th Junior All Star event.[6][7]
Following the loss, both Chisako and Sachiko began concentrating on their singles careers, however, Chisako again went on a losing streak and was not able to win another match, before reuniting with her sister on June 27, 2008.[8][9] On December 21, the Jumonji sisters made it to the finals of a one night tag team tournament, before losing to the team of Devil Masami and Ryo Mizunami.[9] In May 2009, Chisako was forced to restart her singles career, when Sachiko suffered a broken fibula and torn ligaments in her ankle and was sidelined from in-ring competition for ten months.[10] The rest of the year, Chisako feuded with Misaki Ohata, whom she faced in matches in both Sendai Girls' and Ibuki.[7][11][12]
In early 2010, Chisako also began working for the Oz Academy promotion, making her debut on March 14.[13]
On April 9, 2010, Sachiko made her return, losing to Chisako in the first round of the 2nd Battle Field tournament.[14] Later that same day, Chisako was eliminated from the tournament in the second round by Yoshiko Tamura.[14] The following month, the Jumonji sisters reformed their tag team, while Chisako debuted a new look, inspired by her favorite professional wrestler, Jeff Hardy.[14][15] On September 23, 2010, Chisako made her debut for Ice Ribbon, taking part in the interpromotional rivalry between Sendai Girls' and Ice Ribbon, when she, Sachiko, Hiren, Kagetsu and Ryo Mizunami teamed in a ten-woman captain's fall tag team match, where they defeated Makoto, Hikaru Shida, Kazumi Shimouna, Natsuki☆Taiyo and Tsukasa Fujimoto.[16] From March to May 2011, Chisako worked exclusively for JWP, when Sendai Girls' went inactive in the aftermath of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[17][18] On July 7, Chisako returned to Sendai Girls', working at the promotion's first event since the disaster.[19] After defeating the Lovely Butchers (Hamuko Hoshi and Mochi Miyagi) at an Ice Ribbon event on August 21, 2011, the Jumonji sisters were invited to take part in a tournament to determine the new International Ribbon Tag Team Champions.[20][21][22] On September 24, Chisako and Sachiko entered the one night tournament, first defeating Hikari Minami and Riho in the first round and then the Lovely Butchers in the semifinals.[23] Finally, Chisako and Sachiko defeated the team of Manami Toyota and Tsukushi in the finals to win the vacant International Ribbon Tag Team Championship, the first title for both of the sisters.[23] The Jumonji sisters made their first title defense on October 15, wrestling Tsukasa Fujimoto and Tsukushi to a time limit draw, which meant that they were stripped of the title, which was again declared vacant.[24] On October 27, both Chisako and Sachiko were entered into Team Sendai in the Joshi Puroresu Dantai Taikou Flash tournament, a single-elimination tournament, where different joshi promotions battled each other. In their first round match, Team Sendai, which besides the Jumonji sisters included Kagetsu, Meiko Satomura and Miyako Morino, defeated Team Ice Ribbon, which included Emi Sakura, Hikari Minami, Hikaru Shida, Tsukasa Fujimoto and Tsukushi, with Chisako pinning Tsukushi for the win.[19][25] As each round progressed in the tournament, the number of participants in each team was reduced, which meant that neither Chisako nor Sachiko wrestled in the remaining matches, but were ringside for the finals, where Kagetsu and Satomura defeated Team Stardom's Nanae Takahashi and Yoshiko to win the tournament for Team Sendai.[19][25]
