Roppongi 3K
Roppongi 3K was a professional wrestling tag team consisting of Japanese wrestlers Sho and Yoh, active from 2013 to 2021 in the junior heavyweight tag team division of New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). They were managed by Rocky Romero from late 2017 until their split.
After training together in NJPW's dojo since February 2012, the two began wrestling in the federation as young lions under their full names Sho Tanaka and Yohei Komatsu in November of the same year, starting a feud with each other the following month. They became tag team partners on March 3, 2013, until the promotion sent them on an overseas learning excursion in January 2016 which notably saw them wrestle in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) under the names Raijin and Fujin, and in Ring of Honor (ROH) as The Tempura Boyz. The duo returned to NJPW as Roppongi 3K during the King of Pro-Wrestling event on October 9, 2017, now managed by Romero and a part of the Chaos stable. The name established them as the spiritual successors of Romero's team Roppongi Vice, which had amicably disbanded earlier the same day; the "3K" came from Romero's claim that Roppongi 3K were 3000 times better than Roppongi Vice.
Within their first 30 days back in NJPW, Roppongi 3K would win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship in their return match, and become the first team to win the Super Jr. Tag Tournament, NJPW's premier junior heavyweight tag team tournament, as the reigning champions. They would go on to become five-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions and win the following two editions of the Super Junior Tag League, becoming the first team (and individuals) to win it twice and later extending their record. In August 2021, during the 2021 edition of the tournament, the duo suffered a losing streak, leading to Sho turning on Yoh and disbanding the team.
Both Sho Tanaka and Yohei Komatsu entered the New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) dojo in February 2012 and made their debuts for the promotion the following November during the NJPW NEVER Openweight Championship Decision Tournament event, both losing to Takaaki Watanabe in singles matches (on November 15 for Tanaka, and November 19 for Komatsu). Their second match would be against each other on the first night of the Road to Tokyo Dome event on December 6, which resulted in a draw via time limit. This would mark the start of a storyline rivalry against each other during the rest of the event.
Tanaka and Komatsu started wrestling as a tag team on March 3, 2013, during the Raising An Army Memorial Series event, although they would also regularly keep on feuding; after yet another feud, they would ultimately start focus on their work as a team in September 2015 during the final days of the Road to Destruction event in September 2015.
On January 6, 2016, NJPW announced that Tanaka and Komatsu would be leaving the promotion at the end of the month for an overseas learning excursion to their Mexican partner promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). They were the first rookies sent as a team since No Limit (Tetsuya Naito and Yujiro Takahashi) in 2009. They wrestled their NJPW farewell matches as a tag team across the six shows on the following Fantastica Mania 2016 tour, a joint event between NJPW and CMLL; their final effort was a loss in a non-title match against CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Champions Guerrero Maya Jr. and The Panther on January 24, 2016.
After Komatsu and Tanaka fully transitioned to CMLL, the company redubbed them Fujin and Raijin respectively, after the Japanese gods of wind and thunder. In the Mexican promotion, Fujin and Raijin came under the guidance of Okumura, a 12-year veteran of Mexican wrestling, and Kamaitachi, a previous NJPW rookie sent to CMLL, with the four forming a new version of the La Ola Amarilla / La Fiebre Amarilla ("The Yellow Wave" / "The Yellow Fever") stable. As a trio with Kamaitachi, they were dubbed Los Kamikazes de Oriente ("The Kamikazes of the Orient"). Fujin and Raijin debuted for CMLL on February 2 in Guadalajara, making their Arena México debuts five days later. At Homenaje a Dos Leyendas, the two, together with Okumura and Kamaitachi, lost against Dragon Lee, Máscara Dorada, Místico and Valiente in a Best two-out-of-three Atómicos "Lucha Libre rules" tag team match.
During their time in Mexico, Tanaka and Komatsu also worked for other local promotions, including Desastre Total Ultraviolento (DTU) and Liga Elite.
