## Professional wrestling career

### New Japan Pro-Wrestling (2021–Present)

In December 2020, Fujita earned a training spot in the New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) dojo, after the passing an introductory test. He entered the dojo in April 2021. After training four months in the dojo, Fujita made his professional wrestling debut on August 24, facing fellow young lion Ryohei Oiwa in a match, which ended in a draw. As is customary for most professional wrestlers and various young lions, Fujita spent most of his matches losing to other, more experienced wrestlers, which would help put over other wrestlers while at the same time give Fujita some in-ring, televised, experience. In March 2022, Fujita took part in the 2022 New Japan Cup, losing in the second round to Yoshi-Hashi. On July 9, Fujita made his first appearance outside of NJPW, featuring in a All Japan Pro Wrestling event, where he and Tiger Mask defeated Dan Tamura and Ryo Inoue. On August 10, Fujita helped Zack Sabre Jr. win his 2022 G1 Climax block match against EVIL, after he disguised himself as Sabre to serve as decoy to distract EVIL to allow Sabre to win. Fujita repeated the same trick alongside Ryohei Oiwa, which allowed Sabre defeat EVIL in a rematch on November 5, during the semifinals of the NJPW World Television Championship tournament. On January 5, at *New Year Dash!*, with TMDK needing a fourth member, Sabre pulled Fujita from ringside, took off his Young Lion garb, and gave him a TMDK shirt, becoming the newest member of the stable.

In August 2023, during the 2023 G1 Climax, Fujita took on the role of manager for fellow TMDK members during their matches, accompanying them to the ring during their entrance and appearing at ringside. On occasions, he would offer TMDK-branded towels to them during the match or briefly interfere if their opponent was attempting to cheat or had their own manager trying to interfere. From October 21 to November 2, Fujita and TMDK stablemate Robbie Eagles took part in the 2023 Super Jr. Tag League, finishing the tournament with a record four wins and five losses, failing to advance to the finals of the tournament.

On January 5, 2024 at *New Year Dash*, TMDK faced Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Kazuchika Okada and Tomohiro Ishii in a winning effort. Afterwards, Fujita, who claimed he was no longer a young lion, challenged Okada, Ishii and Hiroshi Tanahashi to a title match for the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship. However, Okada proclaimed that Fujita wasn't ready. Despite this, Fujita asked NJPW President Tanahashi to make the match happen. Despite putting an impressive performance, Fujita, and his TMDK stablemates Mikey Nicholls and Shane Haste unsucessfully challenged Okada, Ishii and Tanahashi to a title match for the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship.
