The Beauty Pair were a professional wrestling tag team consisting of Jackie Sato and Maki Ueda. Formed in 1976 in All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling, the Beauty Pair would become an extremely popular group throughout their run, propelling AJW to mainstream popularity while also becoming teen idols in their own right with a successful Japanese pop music career. They would be the primary attraction for AJW until 1979, when they retired as an active tag team.

Wrestling historian Dave Meltzer has stated that the pair were drawing "NFL-level television ratings" that "blew away the Attitude Era and Hogan era" during the peak of their career.[1][2][3] It's been stated after their retirement that the pair paved the way for the Crush Gals, a tag team for AJW in the 80's which also had success in both their music and professional wrestling careers.[4]
