BIOGRAPHY

Having received training from his father, the legendary King Haku himself, Tama Tonga first appeared in a New Japan ring in May of 2010, and later joined the BULLET CLUB in May 2013. With his signature face paint and fierce, unpredictable style, Tama Tonga is feared as a singles opponent, and near unstoppable in his tag team with brother Tanga Loa. 

Under the tutelage of Karl Anderson, Tonga was a founding member of BULLET CLUB, and was joined in the group by brother Tanga Loa in 2016. In a four year span, Guerrillas of Destiny racked up seven IWGP Tag Team Championships.

After dominating in Japan, G.o.D headed to IMPACT to take on Tama’s one time mentor Anderson and his Good Brothers partner Doc Gallows. Yet Jay White would hatch a plan to eliminate G.o.D from the Club, and struck Tama with a Bladerunner, in a bid to ‘reunite’ the group that was fractured between Japan and the US. On March 13, 2022, the Japanese arm of BULLET CLUB completed G.o.D’s expulsion, along with manager Jado. 

Tama Tonga vowed revenge, and took down EVIL to lift the NEVER Openweight Championship, his first singles title in NJPW, at Dontaku on May 1 2022. Yet post match he would be attacked by Anderson, and lost that same title to the Machine Gun at Dominion. Winning the gold back at Wrestle Kingdom 17, he embarked on 2023 as NEVER Champion once again. After losing the NEVER gold to David Finlay at Wrestling DONTAKU 2023, Tama successfully got revenge on Finlay to get back the title at his hand at DESTRUCTION in RYOGOKU. In October 2023 at Fighting Spirit Unleashed, Tama lost the NEVER Openweight Championship to Shingo Takagi. Tama is now eager and ready to hunt any titles anytime.
