Yuki Sato (November 25, 1985) is a Japanese Professional wrestler who currently competes in Pro Wrestling NOAH under the ring name AMAKUSA.
Career[]
Following his training under Dick Togo, Yuki Sato began wrestling for various Japanese promotions, competing under his real name. Sato wrestled for promotions such as Kaientai Dojo, DDT Pro Wrestling, Ice Ribbon, and Michinoku Pro Wrestling, where he wrestled under the name Kenbai. Sato, wrestling as Kenbai, debuted for Pro Wrestling NOAH on October 18, 2010, partnering with The Great Sasuke in the Nippon TV Cup Junior Heavyweight Tag League. At the end of the tournament, Kenbai and Sasuke racked up just two points. In July 2011, Kenbai teamed up with Kenoh in the NTV G Cup Junior Heavyweight Tag League, finishing the tournament with four points. On October 29, Kenbai and Kenoh challenged GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Atsushi Aoki and Kotaro Suzuki in a losing effort. After a three year absence from NOAH, Sato returned on November 30, 2014, losing to Taiji Ishimori. Following another absence, Sato returned on December 14, 2019, as a member of Kongo, under the name Hao. Hao would form a team with fellow Kongo member Nio, challenging for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship on January 4, 2020. Later that month, Hao competed in the 2020 Global Junior League, finishing with two points in Block B, failing to make the final. On October 11, Hao failed to win the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship from Kotaro Suzuki. On January 16, 2021, Hao and Nio again challenged for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, but failed to win the title.
On January 16, 2022, Hao, Nio, and fellow Kongo member Aleja, were defeated by Kotaro Suzuki, NOSAWA Rongai, and YO-HEY. Later that night, Hao decided to leave Kongo, and was attacked by Aleja and Nio. This resulted in an impromptu tag team match, in which Hao and Daisuke Harada defeated Aleja and Nio. On April 29, Hao defeated Nio, and as per the stipulation, Nio reverted back to his previous ring name of Hi69. Hao's feud with Kongo continued, and on June 23, Tadasuke defeated Hao in a Loser Leaves NOAH Match. On October 30, Hao returned under a mask, saving Atsushi Kotoge and Seiki Yoshioka from an attack by Tadasuke and Hi69. Hao would then reveal his new ring name, AMAKUSA. On December 23, AMAKUSA defeated Dante Leon to win the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship, his first singles title in NOAH.
