Yuki Ueno

A classmate of Konosuke Takeshita, he participated in track and field in junior high and gymnastics in high school. Inspired by Takeshita’s fighting spirit, he decided to join DDT to give it his all in the ring. He's known for his high-impact dropkicks and a diving body press with incredible hang time that never fails to electrify the crowd. In September 2019, he formed the tag team “Nautilus” with Naomi Yoshimura. When Yoshimura went on a long-term hiatus, putting Nautilus on a break, he joined Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, and MAO to form The37KAMIINA. He found great success in the singles division, defending the DDT UNIVERSAL Championship six times. In November 2023, he defeated Chris Brookes to win the KO-D Openweight Championship for the first time, a long-held dream. He successfully defended the title seven times before losing it to Shinya Aoki in August 2024.
