Tournaments and Accomplishments
Career History/Bio
Naito grew up playing baseball and soccer in High School, he would join the Animal Hamaguchi Dojo in 2000 and that would be the start of his career in learning pro wrestling. Though things did not go as smoothly as they should have as he suffered a pretty severe injury that caused him to have to give up that dream for a while.
In 2004, he would find his way back into training as he would join the (Nobuhiko) Takada Dojo and even won a recognition as the “wrestler of the year” while in the Dojo. On a side note, Shingo Takagi was also in this dojo at the time.
On November 3rd, 2005, New Japan held a public introduction competition at the Korakuen Hall. After seeing all the talent involved Tetsuya Naito was chosen and he began training in the NJPW Dojo on December 1st, 2005.
On May 27th, 2006, Naito would make his pro wrestling debut as he would face Takashi Uwano in Riki Choshu’s off-shoot promotion Riki Pro.
Naito would pick up his first victory on October 29th, 2006 when he would beat Mitsuhide Hirasawa. This match would even go on to win the “Young Lions Best Bout” for 2006.
