BIOGRAPHY

After his excursion to Mexico and America, SHO returned to New Japan on October 9, 2017. With YOH, and under the tutelage of Rocky Romero, he formed Roppongi 3K, a team that would win three Junior Tag Leagues and five IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championships.  

Yet after their fifth reign was a brief one, YOH fell into a slump, and SHO grew ever more frustrated. Though pledging his support for his partner, on August 16 at Korakuen, SHO refused to break up a submission hold on YOH’s knee, allowing El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru to claim victory. Post match, he struck YOH with Shock Arrow, declaring YOH was of ‘no more use’; a nine year brotherhood torn asunder.

On September 4 2021, former partners met in ring in the MetLife Dome. After destroying a chair over his former friend’s skull, SHO locked in Snake Bite for a referee stoppage, joining Yujiro Takahashi, EVIL and Dick Togo in BULLET CLUB’s HOUSE OF TORTURE thereafter. The team would seize the NEVER Openweight 6 Man Championships in 2022, and continued to blight cards with their no-good tactics, with SHO defeating Taichi to win the KOPW 2023 title at Destruction in Kobe that year thanks to the assist from Yoshinobu Kanemaru. 2024 saw SHO continue his evil tricks, and leveraged Ren Narita’s interference to become the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion at New Beginning in Sapporo via countout.
