KENTA, is a Japanese professional wrestler and one of the last two trainees of the All Japan Pro Wrestling dojo before the Pro Wrestling NOAH split, which he followed. Marufuji pursued amateur wrestling during his high school days before joining All Japan Pro Wrestling, apparently inventing the shiranui finisher. After the NOAH secession, he joined the upstart promotion and became an integral part of its Junior Heavyweight division, impressing many with his high-flying style. He would go on to form a successful tag team with KENTA, as well as win the 2004 Super J-Cup. Marufuji is expected to be one of NOAH's future aces.
