Kota Ibushi's career is defined by records that may never be broken. He is the only wrestler in history to win all three of New Japan Pro-Wrestling's major tournaments: the Best of the Super Juniors, the New Japan Cup, and the G1 Climax. This achievement alone places him in a league of his own. His partnership with Kenny Omega as the Golden☆Lovers is frequently cited as the gold standard for tag team wrestling, holding the DDT Tag Team Championships for a record 351 days. His ability to unify the IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental titles to become the inaugural IWGP World Heavyweight Champion marked the pinnacle of his Japanese career.
