Maito Furuhashi, the youngest of the trio, was born on October 10, 2007, in Toyohashi, Aichi. He measures 184 cm (6’0″) and weighs 98 kg (216 lbs), with a background in judo. Haruki Sato, born June 1, 2002, in Niigata, stands 176 cm (5’9″) and weighs 100 kg (220 lbs), also entering the promotion with a history in judo.

Background on the Triple Debut
This event marks a significant infusion of new talent for the promotion as it closes out the 2026 calendar. The simultaneous debut of three trainees at a venue as established as Korakuen Hall is a notable step in the development of the company’s rookie class. The card, which also features Keiki Takechi, positions these three athletes within a high-profile environment for their initial professional appearances.
The last major development regarding this card confirms the debutants’ participation alongside established roster members, with further match-ups expected to be announced as the December 9 date approaches.
