Hokuto began to wind down her career in 1999, though being a deeply unusual wrestler for her era in that she had started a family, and still kept wrestling. Her kids were at ringside for her retirement match in 2002, where true to the Dangerous Queen's form, she was nursing a rib injury that she managed to work through right up until the end. Since her retirement, she has sporadically helped her husband with business ventures, and has remained in Japanese media as a "Celebrity Mom", occasionally finding time on TV or Radio.

* ActionMom: Unusual for Joshi wrestlers, she was still wrestling even as she started her family. Given that her husband was still working at the time and she was a main player in GAEA for the first few years of their first child's life, it probably made more sense for their kids to get used to the travel early.

'''Akira Hokuto''' (北斗 晶,Real name Hisako Sasaki) is a retired japanese professional wrestler from Yoshikawa, Japan. She is considered one of the finest examples of a ''Joshi'' Pro-Wrestler, and is unquestionably considered one of the toughest pro wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of boots.
Initially inspired by the Crush Gals tag team, Hokuto got into the business after quitting high school to join the [[Wrestling/AllJapanWomensProWrestling AJW]] dojo, where she debuted just days before her 18th birthday as '''Hisaki Uno'''. As Hisaki Uno, her talent was quite obvious even from her young age, earning her a nod as 1985's rookie of the year. She was briefly tag team champion with Yumiko Hotta before they lost them in a 2/3-falls match. During this match, Hokuto would begin gaining her hard-earned reputation for toughness as she suffered a broken neck from a botched second-rope piledriver, and finished the match anyway; using her own hand in some cases to quite literally keep her head on straight.
She would again prove her unrelenting toughness in 1990, where in the Japan Grand Prix, she had a sudden and gruesome knee injury which tore it open and rendered her incapable of walking, and in abject agony. Sitting on the floor of the venue, she managed to find some gauze, and tearfully bandaged herself back up; dragging herself to the ring to finish the match. It would be after this injury that Hisaki Uno would disappear, and the far more well known woman; the tough-as-nails, impossibly dressed, blond-haired and impressively-makeup'd woman known as Akira Hokuto would be born, taking her moniker of "Dangerous Queen" to new heights as she faced some of the 90's greatest ''Joshi'' stars. Her 1993 in particular features an inter-promotional match that is often considered one of the best wrestling matches of all time against Shinobu Kandori. When AJW closed it's doors, she simply went to [=GAEA=] Japan, where she remained one of it's all-time greats.
Internationally, she also had a decent run with CMLL, where she feuded with La Diabolica for several years. She also had a brief but interesting run in WCW, where she was crowned WCW Women's Champion, but the belt was never utilized after a single match. It was here however that she met the man of her dreams, hot off the heels of an unsuccessful marriage: Wrestling/KensukeSasaki. Famously, they were married just a few days after their first date, and toured everywhere together for several years.
