Oz Academy Women's Professional Wrestling (or Oz Academy for short) was founded in 1998 by legendary Japanese female professional wrestler, Mayumi Ozaki.
Although Mayumi considers the start to be earlier in 1996 because that was when the actual stable itself was formed.
Some of the very best in joshi puroresu have worked for Oz.
The promotion itself has two titles, the OZ Academy Openweight Championship and the OZ Academy Tag Team Championship.
As far as I know, Jungle Jack 21 (Hiroyo Matsumoto and Tomoka Nakagawa) still have the tagteam belts and Akino is the Openweight Champion.
Well she might be.
This five foot four, 125 pound lady from Misawa, Aomori, Japan was born on November 13th, 1986.
She has not been going at this long, having only made her pro wrestling debut in February of 2012.
This young lady overcame a lot to get to where she is today.
You can find out just how much as this article here
I haven't seen a great deal of her matches, but what I have seen I like.
And she has that "something" that you cant just learn.
Act may be one to watch in the coming years.
Stardom 5STAR Grand Prix: Act Yasukawa vs. Yuzuki Aikawa
As I have pointed out numerous times here, you dont have to go to Japan anymore to see great Japanese female wrestling.
Case in point, Hiroyo Matsumoto and Misaki Ohata who have been wrestling for Shimmer Women Athletes.
Hiroyo and Misaki were even the Shimmer Tag Team Champions at one point as "Seven Star Sisters".
Okay...they only held the titles for one day but still....
Misaki has done quite a bit of wrestling for Shimmer, but hasn't appeared with the promotion since 2011.
Hiroyo has also worked for Shimmer and appeared as late as October 2012 with them.

Here's another female Japanese wrestler that has held the Dramatic Dream Team Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship (three times actually) Apple Miyuki.
(First Cherry, now Apple...hmmmm...)
Apple has been wrestling since 2002 so she has spent 11 of her 28 years on this Earth in the ring.
But that is something you see quite a bit of in Joshi.
Dedication.
Besides the DDT belt, she has held the Kaientai Dojo WEW Hardcore Tag Team Championship (twice withYOSHIYA) and she won the Osaka Pro Wrestling OPW Battle Royal Championship.
Although Japanese female wrestler Cherry is only five foot one and weighs 114 pounds, don't take her lightly.
She's held the Dramatic Dream Team (DDT) Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship seven times during her career.
But you do have to realize that the belt is pretty much a take off of the old WWE Hardcore Championship where things can get pretty weird.
Weird enough that 2 animals, 12 inanimate objects and 1 invisible wrestler have held the title.
Here is a Japanese female wrestling video that I ran across on YouTube that has all the makings of being legendary.
Why?
Well it's Takako Inoue and Kyoko Inoue (no relation) taking on Manami Toyota and Mima Shimoda.
And it's posted by DoubleMiz so you know it's good!
Takako and Kyoko once formed a tag-team called "Double Inoue" and they held the WWWA tag team titles, losing them to Manami Toyota and Mima Shimoda back on June 22nd, 1996.
Here is a match between Mimi Hagiwara and Yumi Ikeshita posted by hajimanko on YouTube.
Mimi of course is pretty much a joshi legend and considered one of the most beautiful women to ever set foot in a ring.
Mimi's opposite number here is Yumi Ikeshita, the leader of the Black Gundam, the Black Devils and she was the first All Pacific Women's Champion.
The clip starts out with the match underway and Yumi giving Mimi a tour of the cheap seats, headfirst.
Mimi get back to the ring and for a moment gets the upper hand with an abdominal stretch...
But Yumi comes back quickly running Mimi through a whole gambit of submission moves.
The Boston Crab...
A leg lock...
A bow and arrow...
And finally they engage in a back and forth Figure Four battle that basically turns into a leg war.
Unfortunately, the clip ends before the end of the match so we are left wondering who won.
But if you like to see suffering Mimi put through the paces, you'll like this.
