Douki

Tatsuya Hayama (葉山 達也, Hayama Tatsuya; born December 24, 1991), better known by his ring name Douki (stylised in all caps as DOUKI), is a Japanese luchador enmascarado (or masked professional wrestler). He is signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he is a member of the House of Torture, and is a double champion: he is one-half of the current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions alongside Sho in their first reign as a team and his first also individually, and the current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion in his second reign.

Douki was a member of Suzuki-gun from 2019 to 2022, and a member of Just 5 Guys from 2023 to 2025.

In May 2010, Hayama had planned to go to Mexico by himself, but Milano Collection A.T. had introduced him to Taichi. After that, he went to CMLL's wrestling school every day and practiced at the gym with Taichi, and debuted under the name Kansuke in November of the same year.

In 2012, when he joined Los Perros del Mal (a stable that was formed in December 2008), Hayama thought, "There are other Japanese wrestlers, so let's change the character." He thus adopted the ring name "Douki". He served as a member of the stable Japones del Mal. His ring name is derived from Kansuke Yamamoto's ordination name "Michiki".

After spending time in Mexico, Douki made his first appearance in Japan at a Tokyo Gurentai show on October 10, 2015.

On May 10, 2019, El Desperado had to be pulled from the Best of the Super Juniors tournament due to injury, and Taichi introduced Douki as Suzuki-gun's newest member to replace Desperado. Douki would finish with only 2 points in the tournament.

On August 1, 2020, NJPW announced a tournament to crown new NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions, in which Douki took part alongside Desperado and Minoru Suzuki.

In March 2022, Douki participated in the New Japan Cup, where he lost to fellow Suzuki-gun stablemate Zack Sabre Jr. in the second round. In November, Douki and Yoshinobu Kanemaru competed in the Super Junior Tag League, finishing with eight points and failing to advance to the finals.
