Mei Yamaguchi (山口 芽生, yamaguchi mei, born February 3, 1983), formerly known by her ring name V Hajime (V一, vī hajime), is a Japanese female mixed martial artist and kickboxer. Her former nickname comes from the V1 armlock wrestling move.[1][5]
Yamaguchi currently fights as a Super Atomweight in the Rizin Fighting Federation promotion. She has a notable victory over Yuka Tsuji and was the final Valkyrie Featherweight Champion.[6] She has also competed in Deep Jewels and ONE Championship.
