ABOUT YUTO-ICE

Born Yuto Nakashima in Ōgaki, Gifu, the judo black belt and ex-MMA fighter debuted for NJPW on February 14, 2021, grinding through the Young Lion system before heading to Europe on excursion with Oskar Leube, where the duo β€” branded Young Blood β€” captured the wXw World Tag Team Championship in October 2024. Returning as Knock Out Brothers and joining Bullet Club War Dogs on August 17, 2025, the rebranded pair shocked NJPW by defeating Taichi and Tomohiro Ishii at Destruction in Kobe to claim their first IWGP Tag Team Championship, then retained against Zack Sabre Jr. and Ryohei Oiwa at New Year Dash!! 2026 under the Unbound Co. banner.

With the IWGP Tag belts lost to Great-O-Khan and HENARE at Dominion 6.14 in Osaka-jo Hall, Yuto-Ice is currently chasing a G1 Climax 36 A Block berth via a play-in match against Taichi at Korakuen Hall on June 23, 2026 β€” his shot at entering the legendary tournament for the first time.
