Yuka Yasukawa (安川結花, Yasukawa Yuka, born November 13, 1986),[1][2] better known by the ring name Act Yasukawa (安川惡斗, Yasukawa Akuto), and currently performing under the mononym Act (惡斗, Akuto), is a Japanese professional wrestler. She currently wrestles for Actwres girl'Z.[5]
Making her pro wrestling debut in 2012, she wrestled exclusively for the joshi puroresu promotion Stardom. Yasukawa's career ultimately ended in December 2015, 10 months after she participated in a match against Yoshiko for the World of Stardom Championship, wherein she was legitimately assaulted and injured by her opponent, suffering fractured cheek, nasal and orbital bones. The incident received mainstream attention in Japan and became known as the Seisan Matchi (凄惨マッチ, "Ghastly Match") in the aftermath.[7][8]
Yasukawa was known for temporarily incorporating the blindness in her right eye, an effect of Graves' Disease, into her persona by wearing an eyepatch. She was also known for commonly carrying a bottle of rum to the ring to spit at people as part of her performance.[3]
She returned to professional wrestling as a performer May 2021, working regularly for Actwres girl'Z sub-brand Action RING Girls as Hisen, before wrestling in Actwres girl'Z as Wild Bunny.[5] On October 3, 2022, Wild Bunny would "go on hiatus" when Yasukawa would return under the name ACT after Wild Bunny's mask was attempted to be ripped off by Naru, awakening ACT once again.[9]
