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.

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.
