New Japan Pro-Wrestling (新日本プロレスリング株式会社, Shin Nihon Puroresuringu Kabushiki-gaisha) (NJPW), or simply New Japan, is a Japanese professional-wrestling promotion founded on January 13, 1972, by Antonio Inoki, and based in Shinagawa, Tokyo. It is currently a subsidiary of TV Asahi following a share transfer from previous owner Bushiroad to TV Asahi and CyberAgent, which concluded on June 30, 2026. Naoki Sugabayashi has served as the promotion's Chairman since September 2013, while Hiroshi Tanahashi has served as the president of the promotion since December 2023. Owing to its TV program aired on TV Asahi, NJPW is the largest and longest-running professional wrestling promotion in Japan. Their biggest event is the January 4 Tokyo Dome Show (currently promoted under the Wrestle Kingdom banner) held each year since 1992. In addition to promoting professional wrestling matches, NJPW has also showcased mixed martial arts fights on some of its live events. The promotion was owned by Yuke's from 2005 until 2012. It was then sold to Bushiroad in 2012, which parlayed its entry to the world of professional wrestling into a best-selling trading card game, King of Pro Wrestling, and appearances from NJPW stars in its various franchises. On May 27, 2026, Bushiroad announced that it would sell its shares to TV Asahi and CyberAgent, with NJPW becoming a subsidiary of TV Asahi. NJPW was affiliated with the National Wrestling Alliance at various points in its history. NJPW also has and has had agreements with various MMA and professional wrestling promotions around the world; including WWE, World Championship Wrestling, All Elite Wrestling, American Wrestling Association, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, World Class Championship Wrestling, WAR, Jersey All Pro Wrestling, UWFi, Ring of Honor, and Pride Fighting Championships.
