Predicting Where EVERY NJPW Wrestler Will Be In 5 Years Time

23. Yoshinobu Kanemaru

Yoshinobu Kanemaru
NJPW

Kanemaru is quietly one of the slyest workers in the business. He left two sinking ships in NOAH (2013) and All Japan (2015), only to return to the former three years later, joining Suzuki-gun's invasion from NJPW, then securing an NJPW contract when leader Minoru Suzuki brought the faction back to the Lion Mark in 2017. Somehow, he's one of only two Suzuki-gun members currently under full-time contract.

Legend.

Prediction: Still spitting whiskey in your face.
