The NJPW Dojo is the premier training system for aspiring wrestlers in Japan, serving as the primary talent pipeline for the country's longest-running and most successful professional wrestling promotion, New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). Established in 1954 alongside the founding of NJPW, the Dojo has played a central role in cultivating the next generation of Japanese wrestling stars and preserving the distinct puroresu style for which the company is renowned. Over the decades, the NJPW Dojo has produced many of the promotion's greatest stars, who have gone on to become icons of puroresu, such as Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kazuchika Okada, and Shinsuke Nakamura. The Dojo's output of technically gifted, hard-hitting, and psychologically astute performers has allowed NJPW to dominate the Japanese wrestling landscape for decades and maintain its distinct cultural identity.
