My Take
My first reaction was cynical, so I may as well confess it. A 174 cm fashion model steps into a professional wrestling ring and I assumed publicity stunt. I was wrong. Saki Akai stayed more than a decade and finished as a wrestler rather than an attraction. She also carried the label of being former boxer Hidekazu Akai's daughter, which means every ring she walked into came pre-loaded with somebody else's story. Rewriting an inheritance like that through your own bumps and holds is a double shift. Kyoto-born, acting and doing television work alongside it all. She has left the ring, but credibility earned that slowly does not expire with the job title.
