Satoshi Kojima is a Japanese professional wrestler. He is currently signed to both New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Major League Wrestling (MLW), where he is the current MLW World Heavyweight Champion in his second reign and a former one-time MLW World Tag Team Champion. He also makes appearances for All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW). Considered to be one of the greatest Japanese professional wrestlers of the 21st century and of all-time, he was the first wrestler to hold NJPW's IWGP Heavyweight Championship and AJPW's Triple Crown Championship simultaneously, the fourth to win the three major heavyweight championships in Japan with the Triple Crown Heavyweight, IWGP Heavyweight, and Noah's GHC Heavyweight Championship, and one of three wrestlers to hold the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, Triple Crown Championship, and NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship, and is an overall eight-time world champion in major professional wrestling promotions.
Like many Japanese wrestlers, Kojima has a background in judo, but he chose not to continue the sport when he went to college. He got his start loading trucks for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), and after some months of persuasion finally convinced head trainer Animal Hamaguchi to accept him into the dojo.
