The pro wrestling world is deeply saddened after the premature death of Actwres girl’Z star Asahi, who was 21.
Asahi made her debut at the age of 14 for Ice Ribbon at the iconic Korakuen Hall when she faced the former All Japan Women’s Champion Manami Toyota.
Asahi began wrestling in 2017 and competed for Ice Ribbon, Actwres girl’Z, Kani KING Produce and several other promotions.
In 2020, she decided to temporarily step away from the ring to balance her duties to the sport and school. She went on to make a comeback the following year.
In 2023, Asahi concluded her contract with Ice Ribbon and joined Actwres girl’Z. She had initially planned a three-to-six-month loan, but she decided to become part of the new promotion officially. Her final match took place on January 31st.
Actwres girl’Z announced that their February 9th show in Shinkiba had been canceled for now, with an announcement set to be made later.
Asahi passes away
The Japanese women’s wrestling promotion recently made the tragic announcement that Asahi passed away due to an “unexpected accident.” Dark Puroresu Flowsion reported that the accident was a car crash but that has not been officially confirmed.
The company’s statement reads:
“We would like to inform you that Asahi, a member of our company, has passed away due to an unexpected accident. We would also like to inform you that the Shinkiba performance on February 9th has been canceled for the time being. We will inform you about the future within the next day or two.
We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who has supported Asahi so far.”
