The “Young Master” Daisuke Harada made his debut on August 5th 2006 for Osaka pro Wrestling. Harada is a graduate of the Osaka Pro dojo. He had a successful time in Osaka Pro winning multiple championships and tournaments.

Harada joined NOAH in 2013 after a seven-year stint with Osaka Pro. He became the ace of the junior division after Taiji Ishimori left in 2018. Harada his accomplished everything there is to do in the Junior division. He has held both of the junior belts multiple times as well as facing most of the division multiple times.

When Harada became the ace he quickly stepped up to become one of the best junior heavyweights in the world. More of a technical and ground based junior. Harada has multiple strikes and suplexes in his arsenal. While more ground based Harada does throw some high risk moves in to his matches when they are required. With Harada being more ground based he is a nice foil for the high-flying members of the juniors. He also has very good basics meaning that he rarely has a bad match.

In terms of records in NOAH. Harada became the first man to win the Global Junior League on more than one occasion.

Daisuke Harada is considered by many to be the ace of the junior division in NOAH. Having held both junior belts on multiple occasions as well as tournament wins. This has helped him to take the place of ace in the division. One of the world’s best juniors it won’t be long until Harada becomes a heavyweight in my opinion. When he does he will show the world how good he really is.

  • GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship (3x) (most defences in a reign: 6) (total days held: 751 days)
  • IPW:UK Junior Heavyweight Championship (2x) (most defences in a reign: 2) (total days held: 474* days) (*at time of writing he is still the champ currently)
