Daisuke Nakae (中栄 大輔 Nakae Daisuke?)[1] is a Japanese professional wrestler, better known for his ring name Kenoh (拳王 Kenō?).[3] He currently wrestles in Pro Wrestling Noah.

Career

Nakae started training nippon kempo at age of 3, and while in highschool won the championship of his category. Later, in 2003, he was crowned as the youngest All Japan kenpo champion ever, and went to win the contest again in 2006 and 2007. At the time, he was scouted by Jinsei Shinzaki to compete in professional wrestling, an old dream for Daisuke.

Michinoku Pro Wrestling (2007-2015)

Nakae signed with Michinoku Pro Wrestling in 2007, wrestling several exhibitions bouts before officially debuting, under the name of "Kenoh" (拳王 Kenō?, Fist King), against Alexander Otsuka. He spent the year in low-profile matches against fellow trainees Rui Hiugaji and Takayuki Aizawa, and in late 2008 he was sent to Okinawa Pro Wrestling to hone his skills, adopting the name Kanmuriwashi Yoko and the gimmick of an afro kickboxer.

In Septiember 2009, Kenoh made his return to Michinoku Pro, introduced by Jinsei Shinzaki as a special ally to counter the shoot-style wrestler Fujita "Jr." Hayato and his heel stable Kowloon. Kenoh declined an offer by Great Sasuke of having his redebut match against him, and instead demanded a match against Hayato for the Tohoku Junior Heavyweight Champion, which the champion accepted. Shockingly, Kenoh won and captured the title, and went to enter in a heated feud with Fujita and his stablemates. He slowly became the next ace of the promotion, a place vacated after Yoshitsune's departure. The same year, Kenoh and Rui Hiugaji took part in the Michinoku Tag League, beating the teams of Munenori Sawa and Yuta Yoshikawa and Kowloon's Fujita Hayato and Rasse, but they were defeated at the finals by another Kowloon team, Takeshi Minamino and Maguro Ooma. On the individual field, Kenoh retained the Tohoku Junior Heavyweight title before Hayato, Minamino and Taro Nohashi, until he lost it to Great Sasuke.

Kenoh recaptured the Tohoku Junior Heavyweight Championship from Rui Hiugaji in September 2011. Started 2012, he claimed to have the goal to "change Michinoku Pro," which few understood, but it was all revealed when Taro Nohashi betrayed Fujita Hayato and expelled him from Kowloon, instead bringing Kenoh as the new leader. This made Kenoh turn heel, adopting a more arrogant persona for himself, and they renamed the stable as Asura, replacing the members who had followed Hayato with Hiugaji. They feuded with Hayato and his remnant group, called Bad Boy. Kenoh and Fujita clashed again, and this time Kenoh lost the match and the title, but he retaliated eliminating Bad Boy from the Michinoku Tag League 2012 to win it with stablemate Hiugaji.

In 2013, Kenoh pinned Hayato to gain the Tohoku Junior Heavyweight Championship back, but on December 13, he vacated it, announcing his intention of joining Pro Wrestling Noah.[2]

Pro Wrestling (2011, 2015-present)

In 2011, Kenoh and Kenbai were sent to compete in Pro Wrestling Noah's NTV G Cup Junior Heavyweight Tag League, where they got a big victory over heavy favourite team No Mercy (Kenta and Yoshinobu Kanemaru), with Kenoh personally pinning Kenta. They also challenged ANMU (Atsushi Aoki and Kotaro Suzuki) for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, but they were defeated.

Again entering Noah as a MPW representative, Kenoh joined the new Choukibou-gun stable in 2014, forming a tag team with stablemate Hajime Ohara.[4] On August 2, 2014, Kenoh and Ohara won the 2014 NTV G+ Cup Junior Heavyweight Tag League by defeating Daisuke Harada and Quiet Storm in the finals.[5] On October 12, Kenoh and Ohara defeated Atsushi Kotoge and Taiji Ishimori to win the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship.[6] They lost the title to El Desperado and Taka Michinoku on March 15, 2015.[7] On March 28, Kenoh signed a contract with Noah, officially ending his affiliation with Michinoku Pro.[8] On March 19, 2016, Kenoh and Ohara won the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship for the second time by defeating Atsushi Kotoge and Daisuke Harada.[9] They lost the title back to Kotoge and Harada on April 5.[10]
