【Kazuchika Okada Profile】
Born on Nov 8, 1987. 6th World Heavyweight Champion (as of Mar 8 (Wed))
In February 2012, he defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi and became the youngest IWGP Heavyweight Champion in history at the age of 24. Since then, he has continued to achieve remarkable success, bringing a rain of money to the wrestling world. That is Kazuchika Okada, known as the "Rainmaker."
The entrance scene with the rainmaker dollar featuring his own face dancing is the most glamorous in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
With a height of 191cm and exceptional athletic ability, his high-impact drop kicks and one-hit kill Rainmaker are a must-see. His handsome features and unique presence in the ring captivated women who had no interest in professional wrestling, making him a key figure in the 'Pro Joshi' boom.
There are many appearances in dramas, variety shows, and events.
