[Kazuchika Okada Player Profile]
Born on November 8, 1987. 6th IWGP Heavyweight Champion (as of Wed, Mar 8)
In February 2012, he defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi to become the second youngest ever (at 24 years old) to win the IWGP Heavyweight title for the first time. Since then, he has continued his unstoppable success, becoming the man who showers the pro wrestling world with money. That is "The Rainmaker," Kazuchika Okada.
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.
