Master Wato is a two-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, a one-time NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champion, and the winner of the 2023 Best of the Super Juniors tournament.

A high-flying technician blending precision strikes with dynamic aerial work, his style draws from a background in judo, karate, and mixed martial arts, incorporating sharp kick-based offense aligned with his martial arts master gimmick.
Currently an active mainstay in NJPW's junior heavyweight division, frequently teaming with allies like YOH and Toru Yano in multi-man matches. Wato has been announced as a participant in Block A of the 2026 Best of the Super Juniors tournament.
