The Kokeshi Roller Dolls is a flat track roller derby league based in Okinawa, Japan. Founded in 2010, the league currently consists of two teams, an all star team which competes worldwide and a home team which competes against teams from other leagues in Japan.
The league was founded in August 2010 by Amanda Harms (known as "Pisa Cake") and Nicole King ("Nurse Fight'n Bail"). It held its first practice in October, with only six members, but had twenty skaters by the end of the month, and in January 2011 formed three intraleague teams. In May, it played its first bout, an intraleague contest. This attracted more than eight hundred fans.
In October 2011, Kokeshi was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Programme, and it became a full member of the WFTDA in June 2013.
