Akira Hokuto aka The Dangerous Queen

Here is another Joshi favorite...Akira Hokuto aka The Dangerous Queen.
Akira was born Hisako Uno in Kitakatsushika (Yoshikawa City), Japan on July 13th, 1967.
She got her start in wrestling when she quit high school and joined the AJW Dojo to learn wrestling.

She made her wrestling debut on May 28th, 1985 and went on to work for wrestling promotions all over the world like All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (AJW), Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), GAEA Japan and World Championship Wrestling (WCW) among others.
Akira retired on April 7th, 2002, but still keeps her hand in the wrestling scene along with her husband, Japanese wrestler Kensuke Sasaki.

Akira Hokuto Wrestling Debbie Malenko

Here is a match posted on YouTube by ElfenLiedPictureSh0w between two female wrestling greats, Debbie Malenko and Akira Hokuto.
Yeah, some of you may not know who Debbie Malenko is and that's a shame.
I think she may have been one of the best women wrestlers to ever set foot in a ring, but she never got the WWF/WWE hype.
Of course I don't need to tell you who Akira Hokuto is if you have seen very much Joshi at all.

These two start out fast and in just a few moves, Debbie has Akira trapped in a Dragon Sleeper.

But Akira almost immediately reverses it and traps Debbie in the same hold.

Then Akira ups the ante a bit by adding a body scissors to the hold.

An escape and a few high speed reversals later, and Debbie and Akira are both outside the ring, with an unfortunate second caught in the cross fire.

Well ONCE AGAIN good old YouTube took the video down. Thanks Google!

Mima Shimoda versus Akira Hokuto

A while back I mentioned some really good Japanese professional women wrestling matches on YouTube, well here is one from Veoh posted by shupercousin.
It's a match between Mima Shimoda and Akira Hokuto from August 30th, 1995.
Mima Shimoda, Etsuko Mita and Akira had once formed a group called "Las Cachorras Orientoles" or LCO in AJW, but this looks like it too place after all that was over.

In 1996, the WCW decided to establish a women's championship and struck a deal with the GAEA Japan organization to bring in women wrestlers.
A tournament was held in the fall of 1996.

Madusa defeated Reina Jubuki in the first round, and Zero in the semi-final, but she lost to Akira Hokuto (who lost to Madusa earlier in the tournament as Reina Jubuki) in the finals of the tournament on December 29th, 1996 at StarrCade.

Madusa never could win the title.
She claimed to have won it in Japan, but records indicated otherwise.



Here is the match in it's entirety posted by MadusaWrestling
