10 Best Babyfaces In NJPW

9. Toa Henare

A graduate from the New Japan Dojo, Toa Henare has been showing his fighting war spirit since his debut. With the same passion and fire that he had as a Young Lion, Henare comes to the ring and puts in 110% whether he’s wrestling someone like Yota Tsuji or Tetsuya Naito.

This desire and passion only seemed to grow after returning from his Achilles injury and fans were so happy to see him fight his way back to the roster. Working his way through the Dojo system, like David Finlay and Juice Robinson, has just made him even more loved. He is someone from a less than ideal background who has fought to get to where he wanted to go.

In the grand scheme of things, Henare loses a lot of matches compared to other wrestlers. But that’s what makes him a great babyface. With every loss, he takes it and uses it as a chance to learn from some of the best. He makes sure that he's not only fighting for himself but for New Japan and their fans. It makes those few times he does win even more exciting and well deserved.

With not only his win/ loss rate but also his wrestling improving every match, fans see how bright the future is for Henare and they’re willing to go along on the journey with him.
