is a Japanese
professional wrestler better known under the
ring name Kai (stylized in all capital letters). Best known for his work in the
All Japan Pro Wrestling promotion, Kai is an accomplished
junior heavyweight wrestler, having won the
World Junior Heavyweight Championship twice and the
Junior League also twice (
2008 and
2011), while he and
Kaz Hayashi also won the
2011 Junior Tag League. In August 2012, Kai announced that he was ending his junior heavyweight days and becoming a heavyweight wrestler. After taking a seven-month break from in-ring action, Kai returned to All Japan in March 2013, now working as a heavyweight wrestler. However, the following July, Kai quit All Japan following a change in the promotion's management and joined the new
Wrestle-1 promotion. In March 2015, Kai won the promotion's top title, the
Wrestle-1 Championship. He went on to win the title two more times, before quitting Wrestle-1 in December 2016 to become a
freelancer.
