Wrestler Spotlight: Rui Hyugaji - A Ring Veteran Still Ascending in Michinoku Pro

In the ever-changing landscape of Michinoku Pro, Rui Hyugaji has managed to defy the odds and climb the ranks with a tenacity that is difficult to match. With 16 years of experience honed in the Michinoku Pro Dojo, he stands as a testament to having an enduring spirit.

Rui Hyugaji's journey began under the tutelage of Jinsei Shinzaki, a legend of the industry and a cornerstone of Michinoku Pro. Hyugaji developed a unique blend of technical wrestling and aerial maneuvers that showcase his athleticism and ring experience. An example is Hyugaji's impressive diving elbow drop, which he always delivers with precision.



Rui Hyugaji's resume is proof of his unwavering dedication and exceptional talent. He has had three reigns as Tohoku Junior Heavyweight Champion, with Hyugaji's third lasting a record-breaking 553 days. The championship's lineage continues to evolve, but his position as a future legend of Michinoku Pro is solidified.


Beyond the Tohoku Junior Heavyweight Championship, Rui Hyugaji has seen success on the tag team scene, holding the prestigious Tohoku Tag Team and UWA World Tag Team Championships, demonstrating his versatility as both a singles and tag team competitor.

A veteran of the ring, Rui Hyugaji has also appeared in many other promotions, including NOAH, DDT, BJW, ZERO1, and WAVE, making him a talent with an array of knowledge and experience who can serve as inspiration for aspiring wrestlers. At the same time, he represents his established status proudly, as he displayed recently when Michinoku Pro experienced a shakeup, as an in-ring feud began between young wrestlers who represented the new generation of Michinoku Pro and what was considered to be the current generation of the company, which included Hyugaji. He was on the frontline of that feud. This shows that even though Hyugaji is not currently holding a championship, his star is continuing to rise as Hyugaji maintains being a standout on every show he wrestles on.
