Nobuhiko Takada[2][3] (Japanese:高田伸彦, ring name:高田延彦) (born April 12, 1962) is a Japanese former[4]mixed martial artist, retiredprofessional wrestler,actor, andwriter. He competed inNew Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW),Universal Wrestling Federation (UWF) and theUnion of Wrestling Forces International (UWFI) in the 1980s and 1990s, becoming one of the highest figures of the "shoot-style" movement.
Takada later turned tomixed martial arts (MMA) where, despite his controversialmatch fixing ventures and lack of competitive success, he was credited with the existence and development of global MMA promotionPride Fighting Championships,[5][6] in which he worked as an executive after his retirement from active competition until its closure. He also founded and starred at the sports entertainment professional wrestling promotionHustle from 2004 to 2009, and worked as an executive for theRizin Fighting Federation from 2015 to 2023.
After training in theNew Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) dojo underYoshiaki Fujiwara, Takada made his professional wrestling debut in 1981 againstNorio Honaga. As is customary for professional wrestling newcomers, Takada spent his first year as ajobber, though he scored occasional victories against other rookies. Among them, he feuded withKazuo Yamazaki, and their matches were so well received thatTV Asahi included one of them as part of the NJPW show, something unheard at the time. Takada was appointed Antonio Inoki's personal assistant. He was also Hulk Hogan's assistant for his Japanese tours, and during that time, he was nicknamedSeishun no Esperanza (transl. "Youth Esperanza") due to his gutsy and hopeful rookie antics.[7]
In August 1983, Takada accompanied Inoki to Canada for a special appearance inStampede Wrestling. He replaced the retiringSatoru Sayama in the event, and had his first worldwide match, defeating Athol Foley.[7] The victory granted a rank increase for Takada, and he was made part of the 1984WWF Junior Heavyweight Championship league, facing wrestlers likeBret Hart,Dynamite Kid, andDavey Boy Smith. He stayed with NJPW until April 1984, before switching over to theUniversal Wrestling Federation (UWF) by Fujiwara's invitation, and in June he was officially part of the new promotion.
Takada's first matches in UWF were as a NJPW representative, but he soon joined full-time. He started with a successful singles run; he defeated foreign wrestlers and had fought Fujiwara andAkira Maeda. On 20 January 1985, he won againstSuper Tiger by referee stoppage. The tenure was short, as UWF folded shortly after, and Takada and other wrestlers returned to NJPW.
Upon their return, the former UWF wrestlers created a storyline of invading the promotion, with Takada and Maeda as the twin leaders. As a singles wrestler, Takada was involved in a heated feud with theIWGP junior heavyweight champion,Shiro Koshinaka, who had beenGiant Baba's assistant like Takada was Inoki's. Takada defeated Koshinaka in their first match on May 19 to win the title after hitting a Tombstone Piledriver, and he retained it in two more matches against him, as well as challengers likeKeiichi Yamada,Black Tiger, andKazuo Yamazaki, before losing the title back to Koshinaka on September 19. At the peak of his popularity, Takada received the new nickname ofWagamamana Hikazoku (Egotistical Kneecap) for his hard,stiff kicking ability.[8]
In March 1987, Takada amplified the feud with Koshinaka to a tag team when he and Maeda defeated Koshinaka andKeiji Mutoh to capture the vacantIWGP Tag Team Championship. They retained it for months until they lost it to Fujiwara and Yamazaki. Takada spent the rest of the year in tag team fights, except for a tenure in the Top of The Super Junior I and two challenges for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title beforeKuniaki Kobayashi andHiroshi Hase. In March 1988, Takada left NJPW with Maeda and most of the original UWF wrestlers to form the second incarnation of the UWF called UWF Newborn.
Takada debuted in UWF Newborn in an exhibition match with rookie Shigeo Miyato, but he soon climbed the rankings to become the promotion's top wrestler second only to Maeda, who he defeated by TKO in their second match. The promotion's run was highly successful, and they broke records on the professional wrestling/shoot-fighting event U-COSMOS, where he defeatedGreco-Roman wrestling champion Duane Koslowski, twin brother of Olympic medalistDennis Koslowski. After the event, Takada was almost unbeaten in singles matches until the promotion's closure in December 1990.
After UWF Newborn shut down, Takada formed theUnion of Wrestling Forces International (UWFI), using former UWF wrestlers, while Maeda formedFighting Network Rings, and Fujiwara formedPro Wrestling Fujiwara Gumi. Takada opened his run as the top star of the company beating Tatsuo Nakano, Yamazaki, and American wrestlerBob Backlund, whom he fought in a pair of publicized matches. The first of them was controversial, as Takada ended the bout in 1:15 when Backlund fell to a body kick, and it almost caused a riot in the stadium; it is believed that it was an accidental KO instead of a pre-planned match. They held a rematch after two months, with Takada winning by submission after 15 minutes.[9]
Immediately after his affair with Backlund, Takada was put in a fight against boxing championTrevor Berbick. The nature of the bout as aworked match or a shoot fight is unknown. Early in the match, after receiving somelow kicks from Takada to his left leg, Berbick immediately protested, believing that kicking under the waist was illegal. Although the referee seemed to clear the situation, it happened again and Berbick protested every time Takada landed a low kick; at the end, when Takada scored a head kick, Berbick left the ring and walked out of the arena.[9] According to UWFI trainer Pat McCarthy, "no rules were ever changed. [Berbick] just never wanted to listen."[9] The win increased Takada's popularity.
Takada also had feuds withGary Albright andSuper Vader. In 1992, Takada was awarded an old NWA World Heavyweight title belt byLou Thesz after defeating Albright, and was proclaimed the "Pro-Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion". He defended the title until Thesz withdrew the belt in 1995, losing the title once to Super Vader. On December 5, 1993, he defeated Super Vader before 46,168 fans at Tokyo'sMeiji-Jingu Stadium.
As champion, Takada fought againstKōji Kitao, who came back after a long hiatus, at the October 23, 1992, UWFI event. However, it was known that Kitao was no stranger to controversy and so discussions over the outcome of the match were difficult, which led to a draw. During the match, Takadashot on Kitao, throwing aroundhouse kick which legitimately knocked him out.[9] Like the Berbick situation, it improved Takada's reputation with the audience, but also changed Kitao's professionalism to a better avail, as the two shook hands afterwards.
In 1995, Takada returned to NJPW as the key figure in the landmark New Japan vs. UWFI program. On October 9, 1995, Takada's match against Mutoh drew 67,000 fans to the Tokyo Dome, drawing the largest crowd and gate in Japanese wrestling history at the time. Three months later atWrestling World, Takada defeated Mutoh in a rematch to capture theIWGP Heavyweight Championship, becoming the only wrestler to hold all three major New Japan titles at the time, and also, the only one beforeKota Ibushi to hold both IWGP Heavyweight and Junior Heavyweight titles in his career. Takada dropped the title toShinya Hashimoto at Battle Formation on April 29, 1996, drawing a crowd of 65,000 and a gate of $5.7 million.
On August 17, 1996, Takada defeatedYoji Anjo at Tokyo'sMeiji-Jingu Stadium. UWFI would fold in December 1996.
In July 1996, while still working for UWFI, Takada participated in a six-man tag team title tournament withMasahito Kakihara andYuhi Sano where they won the vacatedWAR World 6-Man Tag Team Championship defeatingGedo,Jado andKodo Fuyuki. They dropped the titles toBam Bam Bigelow, Kodo Fuyki, andYoji Anjo. On October 8, 1996 he defeatedAbdullah the Butcher at Tokyo Pro Wrestling.
In December 1996, the UWFI folded after the UWFI–WAR feud, and foundedKingdom Pro Wrestling in its place. Takada only participated in one of its events: an exhibition againstRyuki Ueyama on May 4, 1997 in a draw. He later left professional wrestling formixed martial arts (MMA).
He returned for one night on New Year's Eve 2000 teaming withKeiji Muto defeating MMA fightersDon Frye andKen Shamrock at Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye in Osaka, Japan.
In 2004, Takada was made the president of the Hustle promotion in Japan, created by a coproduction betweenDream Stage Entertainment andPro Wrestling ZERO-ONE. He firstly appeared in a press conference previous to the first Hustle event along with fellow DSE directiveNobuyuki Sakakibara, who badmouthed professional wrestling to praise MMA, which angeredNaoya Ogawa, who flipped the table and confronted them. To solve things, the event featured a battle between Ogawa's professional wrestling loyalists and Takada's MMA allies, who were called the Takada Monster Army. The night ended with Ogawa being pinned by Monster Army memberBill Goldberg, giving the first victory to Takada. The next event, Takada expanded his army and debuted thegimmick of Generalissimo Takada, a larger-than-lifemilitary dictator endowed with supernatural powers, reminiscent of fictional villainsYasunori Katō andLord Dessler. Generalissimo Takada presented himself not as Nobuhiko Takada, but an old friend of his, and proceeded to send his enforcers to beat up Naoya before his match againstMatt Ghaffari. This marked the new view of Hustle, in which Takada and his evil forces battled Ogawa and his heroic Hustle Army.
Takada returned to the ring in 2006 as The Esperanza, a supernatural wrestlingcyborg created by Generalissimo Takada. The Esperanza defeatedYoshihiro Tajiri and pinned him with Takada's trademark kick to the head. At HustleMania 2006, he defeatedMasaki Sumitani in what was billed as Sumitani's retirement match, pinning him and giving him his own finisher, the69 Driver, which caused "erectile dysfunction" in Sumitani. The Esperanza was described as invincible until Hustlemania 2007, when he was defeated byWataru Sakata thanks to the magical aid of Sakata's wifeEiko Koike. The Esperanza's last match was at Hustle Aid 2009, when he was finally beaten byMagnum Tokyo. The same night, Generalissimo Takada announced his retirement, revealing that his true goal was to leave an eternal mark in professional wrestling, which he had accomplished thanks to Hustle. He appointed Magnum Tokyo as the new director and shook hands with the Hustle Army members. A character named King RIKI (Riki Takeuchi) interrupted and challenged him, which led to a supernatural duel in which RIKI reflected Takada's attacks and mortally wounded the Generalissimo. The dying Takada disappeared, declaring that Hustle would live forever. After that, the Monster Army was disbanded.
Takada entered MMA when he joinedPride Fighting Championships, an event created to host a fight between him andBrazilian jiu-jitsu masterRickson Gracie. The bout was highly anticipated since Gracie had defeated the UWFI wrestlerYoji Anjo in 1994, as Takada was still expected to face Rickson in order to restore his late promotion's reputation.[10][5] However, although he had been believed to be a strong legitimate contender for most of his career,[11] Takada was not a qualified fighter.[5][12] He had trained in submission wrestling and other disciplines in his various promotions,[5] but after a 17-year professional wrestling career, he was already too far from his physical prime to transition into MMA.[10][6]
According to his former training partners, futureKing of Pancrase championsMasakatsu Funaki andMinoru Suzuki, Takada had actually been an outstanding wrestler in their youth, being able to repeatedly dominate them insparring,[13] but after missing time to spar during his stardom, and with the arrival of injuries and ring wear, his skills waned over time.[13] By the time of his Pride fights, as attested byBas Rutten, Takada was overcome by Brazilian jiu-jitsuwhite belt practitioners while training in the Beverly Hills Jiu-Jitsu Club.[5][14] His placement in the main event scene also forced him to only fight high-level opponents, which included several of the greatest fighters of the period, likeIgor Vovchanchyn,Mark Kerr, andMirko Cro Cop.[6][10][15]
Despite these considerations, Takada was able to hold a limited amount of in-ring competence. As described byJack Slack fromFightland: "It would be easy to remember Nobuhiko Takada as some kind of bum. [...] But this might be doing a disservice to what Takada was able to accomplish in the ring despite inexperience, age and a lack of athletic prowess. For one thing, in legitimate fights Takada was able to scramble up from beneath Mark Kerr, take down Igor Vovchanchyn, and indeed take the latter's notoriously powerful punches."[6]
Pundits acknowledged his effort to continue an unsuccessful fighting career in order to support the MMA promotion he had helped to found, lending Pride his own popularity as a professional wrestler until it had established its place, even throughfixed fights when it was needed.[6][10][15] In his bookThe MMA Encyclopedia, Jonathan Snowden wrote about Takada: "He lost all [the fights], but it never seemed to faze him. He'd be back again and again, realizing that even though the fights were hopeless, the promotion needed his presence on the card to sell tickets."[10] As of 2024, Takada holds a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Takada's debut against Gracie happened on October 11, 1997, at Pride 1. After circling around Gracie for some time, Takada stopped the first takedown attempt by grabbing the ring ropes, but after the restart, Gracie scored adouble leg takedown and moved tomount position over him.[6] Although Takada tried to hold him down from the bottom, Gracie captured his arm and executed an armbar for the win at the 2:32 mark.[6] While the matchup was a huge economic success, which ensured new Pride events in the future, Takada's poor performance resulted in a comparable disappointment for Japanese audiences, drawing very negative comments and marked the beginning of the end of Takada as a main eventer.[10][11][12] He was likened to awar criminal to Japan by specialized press.[7] His own former trainerKarl Gotch commented unfavorably at the bout, stating: "that is not the Takada I know."[13]
Takada faced kickboxer Kyle Sturgeon atPride 3, a match that was acknowledged as a fight fixed in order to attempt to rebuild Takada's status for a rematch.[6][5] As planned, Takada overcame Sturgeon byheel hook and requested another fight against Gracie. The latter agreed, claiming "I feel Takada is a warrior and deserves the chance to try and redeem himself" in a subsequent interview,[16] and the rematch was held atPride 4.
Gracie opened the fight shooting for a takedown, but Takada blocked it and held Gracie away from the ground with a tightclinch.[6] After exchanging shortknee strikes andstomps with Gracie, Takada dropped him with a hard knee to the midsection and blocked his subsequentguard pulling attempt.[6] Gracie eventually managed to pull Takada down, but Takada stood up in order to initiate a leglock. Takada worked from the bottom, dismounting Gracie several times and transitioned into a heel hook attempt, but Gracie avoided it and applied an armbar for the win.[6] Although the fight did not restore Takada's reputation, it was unanimously considered a much better performance, with some calling it Takada's best showing.[6]
Takada fought his next match atPride 5 againstUltimate Fighting Championship tournament winnerMark Coleman. This was the second instance of a worked fight in Takada's career given in an attempt to increase his fleeting popularity.[17] Despite outweighing Takada by 40 pounds,[6] Coleman was chosen as his opponent because his previous losses to low-ranked fighters would make the result more credible. He described the treat as "It was what it was. I needed to support my family. They guaranteed me another fight after that and I needed that security. It was what it was. I'm going to leave it at that."[17] It was being argued Takada did not know of this fixing and ignored Coleman's intentions to throw the fight.[6]
Despite these considerations, the match was noted to fail at working seamlessly. Takada opened it earning a yellow card when he grabbed the ropes to avoid being taken down, while Coleman had to abstain visibly from landing strikes on the ground when he scored another takedown.[6] After some scrambling, Coleman achieved dominant position and pursued aneck crank and akeylock, but the first round ended right after. At the second, Coleman took Takada down again, but he gave up his position into Takada's guard and the Japanese locked aheel hook, making him tap out theatrically.[17]
Takada was then pitted againstMark Kerr, Mark Coleman's teammate, atPride 6. Unlike the previous, this match is generally acknowledged as a non-fixed fight, although Kerr reported he was offered a bonus payment in exchange for fighting a technical bout instead of usingground and pound.[18] As such, Kerr went to claim he would defeat Takada by a submission move in less time than Rickson Gracie had done in Takada's debut.[19] The fight was also promoted as Kerr taking revenge for Coleman.[20]
Started the match, Takada came out with punches, driving Kerr to clinch.[19] The American executed asingle leg takedown, but Takada escaped and returned to standing, where he started scoring quicklow kicks. Kerr took him down again, though, and achievedside control. From there, he locked anAmericana, forcing Takada to tap out. The fight ended at 3:05, two minutes less than the first fight between Takada and Gracie, as Kerr had meant.[19]
At PRIDE 7, Takada faced fellow professional wrestlerAlexander Otsuka. The match, another worked venture, is controversial about whether it was billed as a mixed martial arts fight or a professional wrestling match. It is not included in Takada's fight record on theSherdog website,[21] though is in his PRIDE official record.[22] The match saw Otsuka landing afisherman suplex before Takada locked arear naked choke for the tap out.
Takada competed in thePRIDE Grand Prix 2000 Opening Round, where he was pitted against his second opponent in theGracie family, Rickson's brotherRoyce, who returned from a hiatus after his career inUltimate Fighting Championship (UFC). At the beginning of the match, Royce immediately clinched Takada and pulled guard, but action stopped right there, as none of the fighters followed with any action. For the rest of the 15 minute match, Takada lied on Royce's guard[6] while Royce held him there, occasionally hitting heel kicks to the kidneys and trying gi chokes. After the end of the bout, decision was given to Royce.[23] Takada visibly limped to his corner,[24] which was later explained as Takada having fought the bout with a heel injury.
The fight was negatively received by the crowd, who booed Takada. It drew comparisons toKen Shamrock's "The Dance in Detroit" bout against Dan Severn in April 1995[24] and particularly to Shamrock's own bout against Royce Gracie at the same year.[6]
Takada's next MMA event participation was in Pride 11, where he fought against Vovchanchyn. Having trained especially for the match with his own traineeKazushi Sakuraba andK-1 veteranMasaaki Satake,[25] Takada was acknowledged to have improved his performance.[26] Vovchanchyn overpowered Takada in the second round, when he caught him with acounterpunch and gained full mount after a restart. Vovchanchyn landed hard strikes, making Takada tap out.[26]
AtPride 17, Takada faced Cro Cop, who was debuting in mixed martial arts; as such, the fight had six shorter rounds and no judges.[27] During the match, Takada broke his foot, forcing him to depend solely on defensive tactics.[27] He spent the rest of the match sitting on the mat, fruitlessly goading Cro Cop to engage him on the ground until the end of the bout. Reception to this strategy was negative.[27]
His next fight was again against a kickboxer,Mike Bernardo, as part of Inoki's team in the Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye event. The fight saw virtually no offense, as both fighters acted with excessive caution to the other's skills and never engaged in the entire fight.[28]
Takada's final match was against his former studentKiyoshi Tamura. There was both story and controversy between them, as Tamura had challenged Takada several times without an answer, and then walked out of UWF International in 1995 to work forFighting Network Rings.[7] Tamura was also reluctant to fight at the event, as he shared cards withKenichi Yamamoto, another Takada understudy he had a personal enmity with.[29]
Tamura dropped Takada with a leg kick, but the match was paused when he landed an accidental heavy low blow. After recovering, Takada took Tamura down and worked a few strikes through his guard, but he escaped to his feet. In the second round, Tamura connected with a combination and knocked Takada out.[29]
The bout was followed by a reconciliation between Takada and Tamura, the latter of whom cried and stated: "Thank you for giving the people their dream and hope for twenty-two years."[29] Takada's proper retirement ceremony was hosted after the main event between his other studentKazushi Sakuraba and Gilles Arsene. Former UWF wrestlers like Tamura, Yamamoto,Yoshihiro Takayama, and Anjo attended the ceremony, along with Pride fighters likeFedor Emelianenko,Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira,Wanderlei Silva andGary Goodridge. Inoki also came to the ceremony.[29]
After retiring, Takada ran his mixed martial arts training facility,Takada Dojo, where he helped train fighters. He also stayed on in a management role at Pride and its parent companyDream Stage Entertainment until it was purchased byZuffa in 2007.
In 2015, Takada returned to mainstream MMA when he signed on as a spokesperson and matchmaker for theRizin Fighting Federation, alongsideNobuyuki Sakakibara and other former Pride employees. He left the promotion in 2023. One year later he announced he had a stress-related heart condition, undergoing surgery in July 2024.[30]
