New Japan Pro-Wrestling, also known as NJPW, is a privately owned company headquartered in Japan. Founded in 1972, the company operates with approximately 50 employees and specializes in martial arts. Functioning as a Japanese professional wrestling promotions company, it has been owned by Bushiroad since 2012.
On September 14, 2026, English-language play-by-play announcer Walker Stewart officially signed a contract extension with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, securing his full-time tenure with the promotion while keeping open the possibility of appearances with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Earlier, on August 17, NJPW announced that Young Lion Yushin Hatazawa, who tried out for NJPW in 2024 and trained in the dojo for over a year, will make his official debut at Korakuen Hall on September 9 as part of the Road to Destruction tour. This followed Jeff Cobb's return to NJPW on August 16 during the G1 Climax 36 finale, his first appearance in the company since April 2025, where he turned on Callum Newman and joined Unbound Co. after a stint in WWE as JC Mateo. Previously, on July 20, NJPW's primary owner Bushiroad announced the sale of all its shares to New Japan's television partner TV Asahi and CyberAgent, a Japanese entertainment company that owns several pro wrestling brands. Bushiroad founder Takaaki Kidani had been responsible for New Japan Pro-Wrestling for over a decade after acquiring it from Yukes in 2012.
