KUSHIDA has never done things the conventional way. Why start now?
The 42-year-old has confirmed his 13th appearance in the Best of the Super Juniors - his fourth consecutive year - and arrives carrying cross-border gold already around his waist. He is currently the MLW World Middleweight title in the United States and the FPW Heavyweight title in the Philippines. And in January, having passed the national examination to become a certified childcare worker, he added a third crown of an entirely different kind.
"I started studying because I'm interested in raising and watching over children," he told Tokyo Sports. "I think I can visit nurseries while promoting regional shows, using the dynamic nature of being a pro wrestler to play a part in spreading the sport across the country."
The BOSJ, then, is step four of a five-part plan. Win the tournament. Take the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship from DOUKI. Five Crowns. "Who decided that a person's prime only happens once?"
It is a fair question from a man who has been away from NJPW's junior gold for over seven years, having last held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title in January 2019. Six previous reigns tell you what he is capable of. The years since - WWE, the independents, titles on two continents, a childcare qualification - tell you something else entirely about the kind of wrestler he has become.
"I hope to project a new image of a wrestler that only I can provide."
