Kazuchika Okada has underwent a transformation over the course of his career. From being a upstart in New Japan Pro Wrestling, to his brief, yet depressing TNA stint as "Okada", to the incredible "Rainmaker" that we know today. In just three short years, Okada has amassed three IWGP Heavyweight Championship reigns, 5 Star Classics, and a massive fan following throughout Japan and the entire wrestling world. Also, it doesn't hurt to have a decorated tag team wrestler in Gedo as your mentor. As a member of the long standing CHAOS faction, not only does he have targets on his back in the form of singles competitors, but he also has targets on his back in the form of another top faction, The Bullet Club, where A.J. Styles stands as one of his biggest adversaries. Okada has also made successful tours throughout the U.S. and Canada, most notably with Ring of Honor through NJPW's working agreement with the company.
Here's one of his classic encounters against one of the greatest of all-time, Hiroshi Tanahashi!
