Actwres girl'Z, is a Japanese independent women's professional wrestling promotion founded in 2015. The meaning of the "Actwres girl'Z" name is a combination of the words "wrestler" and "actress".[2]

History[]

Actwres girl'Z was founded in 2015 with the initial name of the company being unclear, with "Beginning" being an alternate name. The promotion's roster is made up of Japanese idols and former Stardom wrestlers. The concept is similar to JDStar's "Athress" concept.

The promotion's first show was held on May 31, 2015 at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring.[1] On August 7, 2016, former All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling star Yumiko Hotta was appointed as an advisor.[3]

In 2018, the promotion worked together with Hello Kitty and ran a show at the Japanese Hello Kitty themed amusement park, Sanrio Puroland.[4] 2018 continued to be a landmark year for the promotion as they had their first ever show at Korakuen Hall.[5] The promotion initially only ran a few events per year, but has grown to having multiple events per month with a record of 32 events in 2018. The group while initially only running in Tokyo, Japan has since held events in Osaka, Nagoya and Saitama.[1]

As of May 2020, Actwres girl’Z have launched their own VOD service available on tablet, smartphone, or computer also featuring English commentary and display.[6]
