Patricia Karisma-Schroeder better known by her stage name as Leilani Kai is a professional wrestler.

Trained by the Lillian Ellison in 1975, Kai wrestled mostly in tag-teams throughout the late 70's and early 1980's. Kai hit the big time in 1985, when she defeated World Wrestling Federation, superstar Wendi Richter for the WWF Women's Championship: . Richter would regain the title months later at the inagural WrestleMania event.

After touring on the independent ciruit for a few years, Kai returned to the WWF, repackaged as the one half of the platinum haired tag-team the Glamour Girls (with Judy Martin). Kai & Martin (managed by Jimmy Hart) would feud for much of 1988 with Japanese imports the Jumping Bomb Angels for the reactivated WWF Women's Tag Team Champion. The two teams staged an epic 2 out of 3 falls match at the firt Royal Rumble event in 1988, with the Bomb Angels capturing the gold. Kai & Martin would recapture the titles months later in Japan before the belts were once again abandoned. The Glamour Girls then surfaced in the newly formed Ladies Professional Wrestling Association(LPWA),managed by Adnan El Kassey and then by the "Queen of Wrestling" Christopher Love. After months of feuding with Tag Team Champions Misty Blue Simmes & Heidi Lee Morgan (Team America), The Girls finally captured the LPWA Tag Team Titles. They feuded with teams like the Bad, Black & Beautiful; The New Team America (Misty Blue & ALison Royal) & Bambi & Malia Hosaka (who the duo would face at the first and only LPWA pay per view - Superladies Showdown) before the LPWA folded in 1993. Kai would return to the WWF in 1994 at Wrestlemania X to unsuccessfully challenge champion Alundra Blayze. Kai has wrestled on the independent circuit since. Kai is generally regarded as one of the best ever.
