BIOGRAPHY

An indomitable force, Goto has earned a following for his displays of courage in the ring. Goto’s many achievements include winning his first G1 CLIMAX, 3-time New Japan Cup winner, though the IWGP Heavyweight belt has still eluded him. In an attempt to turn his fortunes around, he joined CHAOS in March of 2016, and perfected his signature move, GTR, in order to inflict maximum damage to his opponent.

Goto is a former IWGP Jr. heavyweight and Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, a former IWGP Intercontinental Champion, and has won the NEVER Openweight Championship a record tying five times. In September 2020, he continued his close association with the NEVER mark, becoming NEVER Openweight 6-Man tag team Champion with Tomohiro Ishii and YOSHI-HASHI. 

In 2021, Goto proved he was a forced to be reckoned with in any field, specifically, the six man scene, as CHAOS scored a record nine defences of the NEVER titles. Through that historic reign, Goto’s bonds with YOSHI-HASHI grew firmer, and the two would claim World Tag League 2021 victory, moving to challenge Dangerous Tekkers and capturing the IWGP Tag Team Championships at Wrestle Kingdom 16. 2022 saw Bishamon pull off a double double, winning WTL for the second straight year, and capturing their second IWGP tag gold from FTR at Wrestle Kingdom 17. A gripping reign to start 2023 was cut off by Aussie Open, but when the Australian duo had to vacate their IWGP and STRONG tag titles, Bishamon won a three way for the vacant titles to become three time champions. In December 2023, Bishamon won the World Tag League three times, the first time this has happened in New Japan history. Bishamon declared a challenge to the STRONG Openweight Tag Team titles, looking to reign over the tag division as dual Champions.
