155. Akira Hokuto

Possibly the toughest female wrestler of any generation, Akira Hokuto was also damn good. She made sporadic appearances in the United States, but her matches are still sought after on YouTube and her legend continues to grow. Japanese female wrestling may not have the luster it once had, but to those who followed it, Hokuto is considered its queen.

The issue with an induction of Akira Hokuto is that other than a handful of matches in WCW, she is virtually anonymous to the American public. In addition, the style she created never caught on with a National Promotion in the States as far as women are concerned. She was an innovator, but that just didn’t translate on this side of the Pacific.
