Training and origins (2012–2013) Both
Sho Tanaka and
Yohei Komatsu entered the
New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) dojo in February 2012 and made their debuts for the promotion the following November during the
NJPW NEVER Openweight Championship Decision Tournament event, both losing to
Takaaki Watanabe in singles matches (on November 15 for Tanaka, and November 19 for Komatsu). Their second match would be against each other on the first night of the
Road to Tokyo Dome event on December 6, which resulted in a draw via time limit. although they would also regularly keep on feuding; after yet another feud, they would ultimately start focus on their work as a team in September 2015 during the final days of the
Road to Destruction event in September 2015. On January 6, 2016, NJPW announced that Tanaka and Komatsu would be leaving the promotion at the end of the month for an overseas learning excursion to their Mexican partner promotion
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). They were the first rookies sent as a team since
No Limit (
Tetsuya Naito and
Yujiro Takahashi) in 2009. They wrestled their NJPW farewell matches as a tag team across the six shows on the following
Fantastica Mania 2016 tour, a joint event between NJPW and CMLL; their final effort was a loss in a non-title match against
CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Champions Guerrero Maya Jr. and
The Panther on January 24, 2016.
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2016) After Komatsu and Tanaka fully transitioned to CMLL, the company redubbed them Fujin and Raijin respectively, after the Japanese gods of
wind and
thunder. As a trio with Kamaitachi, they were dubbed
Los Kamikazes de Oriente ("The Kamikazes of the Orient"). Fujin and Raijin debuted for CMLL on February 2 in
Guadalajara, making their
Arena México debuts five days later. At
Homenaje a Dos Leyendas, the two, together with Okumura and Kamaitachi, lost against
Dragon Lee,
Máscara Dorada,
Místico and
Valiente in a
Best two-out-of-three Atómicos "Lucha Libre rules" tag team match. During their time in Mexico, Tanaka and Komatsu also worked for other local promotions, including Desastre Total Ultraviolento (DTU) and Liga Elite.
Ring of Honor (2016–2017) Tanaka and Komatsu remained in Mexico until September 2016, when they relocated to the United States where they resumed using the individual names of Sho Tanaka and Yohei Komatsu, while taking on the monicker of "The Tempura Boyz" as a team; they most prominently worked in
Ring of Honor (ROH) during that time. They would lose their debut match against
Colt Cabana and
Dalton Castle on October 1 tapings before going on to lose to
Cheeseburger and
Will Ferrara and
The All Night Express on the first and second nights of the
Glory By Honor XV event respectively. They would unsuccessfully challenge
The Young Bucks for the
ROH World Tag Team Championship on January 14, 2017, and again on June 3, before teaming up with Canaba to unsuccessfully try to capture the
ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship from Dalton Castle and
The Boys. On June 18, they defeated Xyberhawx2000 as a part of the
Chikara event The Johnny Kidd Invitational 2017. In July 2017, Tanaka and Komatsu took part in NJPW's two-day
G1 Special in USA event that the promotion held in
Long Beach, California. The following week, they traveled with the NJPW crew to take part in an event held by
Revolution Pro Wrestling (RevPro) in
London, England.
Return to NJPW Roppongi 3K (2017–2021) On September 16, 2017, at NJPW's
Destruction in Hiroshima show, the
Roppongi Vice tag team of
Beretta and
Rocky Romero had their final match together before amicably splitting up. Later that night, Romero confronted
IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Funky Future (
Ricochet and
Ryusuke Taguchi), revealing that he was now the manager of a new, secret team dubbed "Roppongi 3K", with the name coming from Romero's claim that Roppongi 3K were 3000 times better than Roppongi Vice were. Even after Roppongi 3K were confirmed as the next challengers for Funky Future's titles, the identities of the two wrestlers were kept secret. On October 9 at
King of Pro-Wrestling, Roppongi 3K were revealed as the returning Tanaka and Komatsu, now billed individually as "Sho" and "Yoh", who defeated Funky Future to capture the Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship in their return match, which was also their first title opportunity in NJPW. Through their affiliation with Romero, Sho and Yoh also became part of the
Chaos stable. Later that month, Roppongi 3K entered the
2017 Super Jr. Tag Tournament for the first time, defeating
Hirai Kawato and
Kushida in the first round and
Los Ingobernables de Japón (
Bushi and
Hiromu Takahashi) in the semifinals, before defeating
Super 69 (
ACH and Ryusuke Taguchi) in the finals at
Power Struggle on November 5, becoming the first team to win the tournament as the current Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. On January 4, 2018, Roppongi 3K lost the Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship to
The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) at
Wrestle Kingdom 12, before winning it back on January 28 at
The New Beginning in Sapporo. They soon dropped the titles to
Suzuki-gun (
El Desperado and
Yoshinobu Kanemaru) on New Japan's 46th Anniversary Show, in a
three-way tag team match, which also involved Bushi and Takahashi (the latter being their former CMLL stablemate as Kamaitachi). They would then lose their title rematch on June 9 at
Dominion 6.9 in Osaka-jo Hall, but would fail to regain the titles. Sho and Yoh they entered the 2018 Super Junior Tag Tournament, which was now using a point-based system instead of brackets; they would go on to win 5 matches out of 7 and scoring 10 points; they would then face the other two top-scoring teams, Desperado/Kanemaru and Bushi/
Shingo Takagi, both of
Los Ingobernables de Japón, in a three-way tag team match at
Power Struggle where Roppongi 3K became the first team (and individuals) to win the tournament twice. The three teams would face off again on January 4 at
Wrestle Kingdom 13 for Desperado and Kanemaru's IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, but Bushi and Takagi would win the match. At NJPW's 47th Anniversary Show on March 6, Roppongi 3K defeated Bushi and Takagi to win the titles for a third time, eventually losing them to
Bullet Club (
El Phantasmo and
Taiji Ishimori) on June 16 at Kizuna Road. After Yoh pinned the
Guerrillas of Destiny's
Tanga Loa during a 10-man tag team match at Destruction in Kobe, Roppongi 3K received a title match for G.O.D.'s
IWGP Tag Team Championship at Fighting Spirit Unleashed (their first opportunity at the title), but were unsuccessful.
Split and resulting feud (2021) Roppongi 3K entered their third Super Junior Tag Tournament in October 2019, winning five matches out of seven and scoring 10 points like the previous year to advance to the finals on November 3 at
Power Struggle, where they defeated
Suzuki-gun (
El Desperado and
Yoshinobu Kanemaru) to become the first three-time winners of the tournament. As the result, they received a match for the
IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship against
Bullet Club (
El Phantasmo and
Taiji Ishimori) on January 5, 2020, at
Wrestle Kingdom 14; they were successful at the event, becoming four-time champions and gaining their first win at Wrestle Kingdom. However, during the
New Japan Cup of 2020, Yoh injured his knee in a tournament match against
Bushi and both had to relinquish their championships. While Yoh was away, Sho was making a lot of impact by himself, disputing the
NEVER Openweight Championship against
Shingo Takagi, the vacated
NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship and even the
IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship against
Hiromu Takahashi. When Yoh returned in March 2021, he focused on teaming with his partner again to regain the titles they never lost from then-champions Desperado and Kanemaru. On April 4 at Sakura Genesis, Roppongi 3K regained their belts by defeating Desperado and Kanemaru. However, on June 23, they once again lost the belts to the very same team they dropped them to two years prior, Phantasmo and Ishimori. This initiated friction between the two, due to Yoh getting pinned in every match they were involved. It all came to a head on August 16, when the team was shockingly eliminated following an 0–3 start at the
Super Junior Tag League (with Yoh once again getting pinned or submitting in every match) and after another loss to Desperado and Kanemaru, Sho attacked Yoh, ending their eight-year partnership. Both faced each other at
Wrestle Grand Slam in MetLife Dome on September 4, where Sho defeated Yoh by submission, and after the match, it was revealed that Sho was defecting from
Chaos to Bullet Club, being part of
Evil's sub-group,
House of Torture. Following the loss, Yoh was inactive in the ring, until November, where he participated in the
Best of the Super Juniors tournament. Yoh finished second in the block with 14 points, overtaking Sho who he defeated on the final day, avenging his loss in
Tokorozawa. However, in the Best of the Super Juniors final, Yoh would lose to Takahashi. == Championships and accomplishments ==
