Six Or Nine is a professional wrestling tag team consisting of Master Wato and Ryusuke Taguchi in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) where they are former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.
==History==
===Formation (2020-2021)===
Wato & Taguchi first teamed together at New Japan Road 2020 - Night 6, defeating Suzuki-gun (El Desperado & Yoshinobu Kanemaru) in the round robin IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship tournament. However, at New Japan Road 2020 - Night 7, Wato & Taguchi would be defeated by Los Ingobernables de Japon (BUSHI & Hiromu Takahashi) and would not advance to the finals. Wato & Taguchi would continue being involved in multi-man matches with Suzuki-gun, eventually facing eventual winners of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship tournament, El Desperado & Yoshinobu Kanemaru, at Wrestle Kingdom 15 - Night 2 for the championship in a losing effort.
===Super Junior Tag League (2021)===
After a series of multi-man matches against BULLET CLUB and CHAOS, Wato & Taguchi would enter the Super Junior Tag League 2021. Wato & Taguchi were defeated by former rivals El Desperado & Yoshinobu Kanemaru on the first day and by BULLET CLUB's Cutest Tag Team (El Phantasmo & Taiji Ishimori) on the second day. Nonetheless, Wato & Taguchi were able to pick up a win over Roppongi 3K (SHO & YOH) on the third day, securing them two points. Due to COVID-19, Wato & Taguchi won by forfeit over Jado & Gedo, and after defeating Robbie Eagles & Tiger Mask, Wato & Taguchi had racked up six points, ending the tournament in third place.
===IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions (2022)===
At Wrestle Kingdom 16 - Night 3, Wato & Taguchi joined CHAOS members Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii & YOSHI-HASHI to defeat NOAH's team of Daiki Inaba, Daisuke Harada, Hajime Ohara, Kinya Okada & Yoshiki Inamura. At New Years Golden Series 2022 - Night 14, competing under the name Six Or Nine, Wato & Taguchi defeated champions Flying Tiger (Robbie Eagles & Tiger Mask), BULLET CLUB's Cutest Tag Team, and El Desperado & Yoshinobu Kanemaru in a Four Way Match to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship for the first time. At New Japan Road 2022 - Night 4, Six Or Nine lost the championship to Catch 22 (Francesco Akira and TJP).
