A few months ago, I uploaded a photo of Chie Shikata here, which was dismissed at the time as obviously not natty.
Since I’m interested in finding the exact limit for natural female athletes, I created a collage with four additional women, along with the previous photo of Chie Shikata for comparison. I roughly arranged the women by visible muscle mass. All five women not only compete in tournaments but have also won some at the prefectural or block level (mostly in 2023 or 2024, except for Uchiko Hoshimiya, whose successes date back further). Some have participated in the Miss Nihon contest, but none of them made it to the finals (Top 12). (I mention this in detail because competing has been cited as a reason for stating someone is not natty.)
I would like to know which of these athletes are natural (if any). Most importantly, I’m curious about the specific physical indicators that suggest they are not natural—or that they are. Eventually, I’d like to learn how to recognize such indicators myself.
Honestly, Japanese FBB's have such stunningly mid physiques both on and off stage, I have no problem believing that they're all natty. These girls have nice mass and look pretty lean for the stage. I think that mass is entirely natty achievable, and that leanness is possible naturally as well for a very short window.
If they're on gear, then they have absolutely no idea what they're doing.
I mean contrast female bodybuilders from Japan with competitors from Korea and there's no comparison. Not even close.
This is a woman I follow who is very consistent with doing home CrossFit-HIIT style workouts. Her physique is a realistic example of someone who is consistent with her lifting at an older age while also being natty https://www.instagram.com/p/DEslmBqSqNA/?hl=en

All of these women are natural. The only liars are the ones like Dani Reardon who say they used to take steroids when they were, in fact, 100% natty.
Christ dude, look at her delts.
I'm a man, I've been lifting for 15 years, I'm on gear, and even I'm jealous of the separation and definition that she's got going. Her delts are awesome for a woman her age.
I don't think she could build lats that size naturally. She's def on the gear.
