BIOGRAPHY

The famous masked wrestler, having inherited the mask from legends before him. With the guidance of the original Tiger, Satoshi Sayama, he debuted in July of 1995, and moved to New Japan in 2002.

Armed with fierce kicks and amazing speed reminiscent of the 1st generation Tiger, he is the only wrestler to have won the BEST OF THE SUPER Jr. tournament 2 years in a row (2004-2005). Making a legend that lives up in his own right, he has also lifted the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship six times to date. 

Battling illness in 2020, Tiger Mask came back in December fiercer than ever, and will continue to battle and help improve the next generation of talent in the years to come. In October 2021, he and Robbie Eagles claimed the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag team Championships, and 2022 saw him win the AJPW World Junior Heavyweight Championship to boot.
