Yoshiki Inamura

A power fighter with a background in judo and sumo, Yoshiki Inamura joined NOAH in 2017 and was quickly identified as a top heavyweight prospect, receiving early entry into the N-1 VICTORY tournament. He gained a reputation for his hard-hitting style, enhanced by dedicated Strongman training. In September 2023, he began an indefinite international excursion. He returned in 2024 as YOICHI to immediately challenge for the GHC Heavyweight Championship, but ultimately failed and requested further international training. This led to a high-profile excursion to WWE NXT, where he quickly rose through the ranks, even challenging for the NXT Championship in 2025. He returned to NOAH in October 2025, confronting KENTA to challenge for the GHC Heavyweight Championship, cementing his position as a main-event contender at the forefront of the promotion.
