>Kento Miyahara, riding the momentum from winning All Japan Pro Wrestling’s Ōdō Tournament, reclaimed the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship for the first time in two years and seven months. Masa Kitamiya, who powered through to victory in NOAH’s N-1, and Katsuhiko Nakajima, who monopolized both the G-REX and LIDET UWF titles in GLEAT, stand alongside him. These three were raised as wrestlers in the Kensuke Office system.
>Kensuke Office began in 2005, evolving from the Kensuke Family group that Kensuke Sasaki formed after leaving WJ Pro Wrestling in late 2003. Together with Hokuto Akira and Nakajima, they received guidance from “Legend” Masa Saito, who became an advisor and emphasized talent development.
>The three rampaged across different promotions under the Kensuke Office banner. From 2012, the name “Diamond Ring” was used, but when Nakajima departed in 2015, the group ceased to function as a unit.
>Nakajima, who had been active in All Japan and NOAH, became a full NOAH roster member in 2015, later moving to All Japan in 2023 as a key player. By June this year, he appeared in GLEAT, swiftly seizing control of the mat.
>Miyahara transferred to All Japan in 2014, where he rose to Triple Crown Champion status and declared himself “the best.” As chairman of the wrestlers’ association, he became the “face of All Japan.” Kitamiya, once aligned with NOAH’s dark faction “Chietien,” also left his mark.
>Now, the three men who once stormed through All Japan, NOAH, and beyond under Kensuke Office are top leaders of their own promotions. The value of the Kensuke Office’s training foundation is being recognized anew.
>At times, the strict training clashed with the personalities of its members, sometimes leading to conflict. Some young wrestlers even left early.
>The Kensuke Office alumni are said to have poor relationships, but in truth, they are wrestlers forged by seeking strength through rivalry. Without rivals, there is no growth.
