BIOGRAPHY

The self-proclaimed “Master of the Century”, Tanahashi embodies what it means to be the Ace of New Japan Pro Wrestling. After debuting for NJPW in October of 1999 he has the highest record of IWGP Heavyweight titles (8 times). That achievement goes alongside a Grand Slam, with Tanahashi one of precious few to win the IWGP heavyweight, Intercontinental, Tag, US and NEVER Openweight Championships, as well as 3 G1 Climaxes, and the only man to add the NJPW World TV Championship to that collection, won on January 4 2024 and added to the NEVER 6 Man Championships he already held with Kazuchika Okada and Tomohiro Ishii.

Hiroshi Tanahashi continues to push for a return to the very top of NJPW, and the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship as a result. yet The Ace also has big aspirations for NJPW as a whole. On December 23 2023, Tanahashi became the President and Representative Director of NJPW, stating his plans to sell out the Tokyo Dome and bring professional wrestling to the masses worldwide. He would celebrate his new status by winning the NJPW World TV Championship at Wrestle Kingdom, and while pained at the departure of ally and rival Okada in early 2024, vacating the NEVER 6 Man titles in the process, his vision for all of NJPW in the future is a bright one.
