About Gedo

Born 1969. Gedo is a Japanese professional wrestler.

Main booker and manager (2013–2018)

On July 5, 2013, Gedo received his first shot at the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship in nearly a decade as he attempted to stop Prince Devitt from earning a shot at Okada's IWGP Heavyweight Championship. Gedo, however, failed in his challenge and Devitt advanced to the match with Okada. On November 1, Gedo and Jado received their first shot at the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship in three years, but were defeated by the defending champions, Suzuki-gun (Taichi and Taka Michinoku).

In early 2015, Gedo became the primary booker of New Japan, when Jado took over as the new booker of Pro Wrestling Noah.

Bullet Club (2018–2026)

At the 2018 G1 Climax Finals, Okada parted ways with Gedo. Gedo returned at Destruction in Kobe, where it appeared he was going to save Okada but instead, hit him with a chair, becoming Jay White's new manager. At King of Pro-Wrestling, Gedo, White, and longtime tag partner Jado all completed their defection from Chaos to align themselves with Bullet Club. Throughout White's tenure as Bullet Club leader, Gedo managed White, as well as still wrestling occasionally, mostly in tag matches with White and other Bullet Club members. After White's departure from NJPW, Gedo began managing David Finlay, who became the new leader of Bullet Club. Gedo and Finlay later formed a sub-group to Bullet Club called "Bullet Club War Dogs", which consisted of the duo with Alex Coughlin, Clark Connors, Drilla Moloney, and Gabe Kidd, with wrestlers such as Jake Lee, Sanada, and Taiji Ishimori joining later on.

On November 8, 2025, Gedo reunited with Kazuchika Okada as the latter made his surprise return to NJPW as a heel and was confirmed to be Hiroshi Tanahashi's opponent in his retirement match at Wrestle Kingdom 20. At the event on January 4, 2026, Okada defeated Tanahashi with Gedo in his corner.

Unbound Co. (2026–present)

After Wrestle Kingdom 20, at New Year Dash!!, David Finlay and Yota Tsuji announced the dissolution of Bullet Club and Mushozoku, replacing the alliance with Unbound Company, which was a complete merger.

Pro Wrestling Noah (2016) On June 12, 2016, Gedo made a surprise appearance at a Pro Wrestling Noah event. He reunited with Jado to unsuccessfully challenge Atsushi Kotoge and Daisuke Harada for Noah's GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship in a three-way match, also involving Taichi and Taka Michinoku. On October 8, Gedo and Jado defeated Kotoge and Harada to win the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. They lost the title back to Kotoge and Harada on December 24.
