Tetsuya Naito

One of NJPW's most popular stars ever, Tetsuya Naito, has been in the ring since 2006. After finding singles success from 2011 to 2015, things went to another level when Naito established the Los Ingobernables de Japon stable and incorporating his "tranquillo" vibe to his character. He's been in the main event of Wrestle Kingdom, won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship three times, and the IWGP Intercontinental Championship six times. Naito was also the first wrestle to hold both of those titles at the same time in 2020.
