BIOGRAPHY

One of the most revered and decorated junior heavyweights in history, Kanemaru’s 20 year plus experience makes him a devious force to be reckoned with. 

Having debuted for All Japan Pro Wrestling on July 6, 1996, he later found success in Pro Wrestling Noah starting in the early 2000’s, eventually joining Suzuki-Gun in 2016. In 2017 he, along with the rest of Suzuki-Gun, started their assault on New Japan. Teaming with Taichi and then El Desperado, he has lifted the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships six times, starting 2023 with a hunt for a seventh reign alongside DOUKI, before challenging Hiromu Takahashi for singles gold as well.

In the wake of Suzuki-Gun’s disbandment at the end of 2022, Kanemaru would join his long time friend Taichi in the nascent Just Five Guys faction. At Destruction in Kobe on September 24 however, the Heel Master lived up to his name as he turned his back on Taichi to help SHO to the KOPW 2023 title. Now part of HOUSE OF TORTURE, Kanemaru proves there truly is no honour among heels.
