Jado & Gedo were a professional wrestling tag team that currently work in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where they are also the head bookers. One of the most accomplished tag teams in puroresu, the team has won numerous tag team titles and six-man tag team titles in over seven promotions.

Professional wrestling career
Debut, UWA, and W*ING (1989–1994) Both Jado and Gedo debuted for NJPW on March 19, 1989. They would hold the title for nearly eight months, before losing them to Scorpio Jr. and Shu El Guerrero on June 15, 1992. The three would hold the title for two months, before losing it to Bob Backlund, Scott Putski and The Warlord on August 26, 1994. on two occasions as well becoming a runner up in New Japan's 1995 Super J-Cup. After losing the title, Jado and Gedo would be unable to win anymore championships together for the next few years (though Gedo did win the WEW Tag Team Championship with Koji Nakagawa), during this time, the team also began wrestling for All Japan Pro Wrestling, most notably participating at All Japan's first Tokyo Dome show on May 1, 1998. but would lose those title a few weeks later on October 10, 2000, to Supreme and Homeless Jimmy. However, ten days later, the group left FMW and were stripped of the title. Through FMW's working relationship with American promotion Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), Jado and Gedo worked three matches for the promotion in March 2000. New Japan Pro-Wrestling (2001–2022) In early 2001, Jado and Gedo eventually returned to NJPW and sided with Masahiro Chono and his Team 2000 stable. Immediately after returning to New Japan they made an impact as they defeated Jyushin Thunder Liger and El Samurai at Dome Quake on July 20, 2001 to win their first IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. The two would dominate the title, holding it for over ten months and making six successful title defenses before losing it to Liger and Minoru Tanaka on May 2, 2002. For the next year and half, the team would get several shots at the title, but came up short, briefly giving Jado and Gedo a monopoly on the Junior Heavyweight division. Eventually, they would lose the Jr. Tag Title on March 12, 2004, to American Dragon and Curry Man. but despite the changes, they were unable to regain the Jr. Tag Title despite several attempts. On November 13, 2010, Jado and Gedo returned to the top of New Japan's Junior Tag Team division by defeating their CHAOS team mates Davey Richards and Rocky Romero in the finals of a five-day-long tournament to win the 2010 Super J Tag League. As a result of their victory, Jado and Gedo received a match for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, which took place at a Dramatic Dream Team (DDT) event on December 26, 2010, where they were defeated by the defending champions, the Golden☆Lovers (Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi). On November 1, 2013, 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). Gedo and Jado's next title opportunity came on April 9, 2017, when they unsuccessfully challenged Suzuki-gun's Taichi and Yoshinobu Kanemaru at Sakura Genesis 2017. On March 13, 2022, Evil defeated Tonga. Following this match, Evil and the rest of Bullet Club attacked G.o.D. and Jado, officially ejecting them from the group as a result, and siding with White. This would also break up Jado and Gedo's 33-year-long tenure as a tag team. Pro Wrestling Noah (2016) On May 28, 2016, Gedo and Jado made a surprise appearance for Pro Wrestling Noah, challenging Atsushi Kotoge and Daisuke Harada to a match for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. They received their title shot on June 12, but were defeated by Kotoge and Harada 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, becoming the second team (after Jyushin Thunder Liger and Tiger Mask) to hold both the IWGP and GHC titles. They lost the title back to Kotoge and Harada on December 24. == Championships and accomplishments ==
