Naitō's trophy case is the envy of any wrestler. He has won the Tokyo Sports MVP Award four times, more than any other active wrestler, and his three G1 Climax victories put him in rarefied air. His 2020 Wrestle Kingdom 14 double-title win is considered one of the greatest nights in wrestling history. He has headlined Wrestle Kingdom five times, and his ability to reinvent himself from a failed babyface to the most popular rebel in Japan is a testament to his resilience and charisma.
