Professional wrestling career

[edit]

Pro Wrestling Noah (2023–present)

[edit]

On October 23, 2023, it was announced by Sasaki himself that he would be participating in an exhibition match for Pro Wrestling Noah's November 13 episode of Monday Magic. In a statement made during the October 23 show, he specified that it had been a dream of his to perform in Noah, as he had been a fan of the promotion since he had been a child and later stated on social media that he will "throw all of [his] soul" to enable him to compete in professional wrestling.[47]

He officially made his professional wrestling debut at Noah The New Year 2024 event on January 2, 2024, but was defeated by Takashi Sugiura.[48]

On September 13, 2024, at DESTINATION 2024, he defeated HAYATA via referee stoppage to win the GHC National Championship, claiming his first-ever wrestling title. Winning the championship just six months after his debut set the record for the fastest title victory in the history of the championship.[49]

On October 14, 2024, it was announced that Sasaki would face WWE Superstar Shinsuke Nakamura at Noah The New Year 2025 on January 1, 2025.[50]

Professional wrestling career and persona

[edit]

His ring name "Ulka" originates from Sanskrit and means "Tengu". He has expressed his fondness for this mythical creature and often wears a long-nosed Tengu mask during his professional wrestling entrances.[51][52]

In a November 2023 interview, he stated that witnessing the match between Great Muta and Shinsuke Nakamura at Noah The New Year 2023 left a deep impression on him and inspired his decision to pursue a career in professional wrestling.[53]
