is a Japanese professional wrestler currently signed to WWE, performing on the Raw brand under the ring name , where she is the current Raw Women's Champion in her second reign.

Previously known as , she started her professional wrestling career in the AtoZ promotion in June 2004, where she remained until retiring in March 2006. She returned to the ring a year and a half later, starting to work as a freelancer for promotions such as JWP Joshi Puroresu, NEO Japan Ladies Pro-Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Wave, Reina Joshi Puroresu, Smash and Wrestling New Classic (WNC). Her achievements include winning the JWP Openweight Championship, NEO Tag Team Championship, Reina World Women's Championship, Smash Diva Championship and Wave Tag Team Championship.

In August 2015, Urai signed a developmental deal with WWE, making her the first Japanese female wrestler signed with the company in over 20 years. After spending two years in WWE's developmental branch NXT, where she is a former NXT Women's Champion (with her reign of 510 days being the longest in that title's history) as well as the Female Competitor of the Year (2016, 2017) and Overall Competitor of the Year (2017) NXT Year-End Award winner, Asuka was moved to the promotion's main roster in September 2017. In addition, the company has billed her as having the "longest undefeated streak in WWE history" at 914 days, though other wrestlers in the male division have had similar or longer win streaks. In January 2018, she was the inaugural winner of the women's Royal Rumble match. She is also a former SmackDown Women's Champion, Women's Tag Team Champion (with Kairi Sane) and the 2020 Women's Money in the Bank ladder match winner, making her the first to win both the women's Royal Rumble and Money in the Bank matches. Following her first Raw Women's Championship win, Asuka became the third Women's Triple Crown Champion and the second Women's Grand Slam Champion.

In December 2015, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter stated that Urai "may be the best worker in WWE, man or woman". Her techniques include various kicks and submission holds, leading to a reputation for a stiff wrestling style. Urai has also worked as a freelance graphic design and video game journalist and through her work with Microsoft she has been sponsored by the company, wearing an Xbox 360 logo on her gear. Since 2019, she has her own YouTube channel, KanaChan TV, focused on gaming and lifestyle content; she currently has over 400 thousand subscribers.
