Kazuchika Okada is a Japanese professional wrestler currently signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). A four-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Okada's fourth reign at 720 days is the longest in the championship’s history and it also holds the record for most successful title defenses at 12.

Along with fellow NJPW wrestler Shinsuke Nakamura, Okada is featured in the Japanese music video for Pharrell Williams' song Happy, released in May 2014. In 2015, Okada voiced a character in the World Trigger anime series. The following year, he voiced a character in another anime, Future Card Buddy Fight 100. Okada, along with fellow NJPW wrestlers Hiroshi Tanahashi, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Satoshi Kojima, Tetsuya Naito and Toru Yano, appears as a member of the gang Justis in the 2016 video game Yakuza 6: The Song of Life. In January 2017, it was announced that the Tekken 7: Fated Retribution video game would feature Okada's in-ring costume as an alternate outfit for the character King. When equipped, King performs Okada's finishing manoeuvre, the Rainmaker, as his "Rage Art" move. The Okada-geared King was featured on the September 12, 2017 episode of WWE's 205 Live program.

Okada was engaged to TV Asahi presenter Yoko Mori, whom he had been in a relationship with from 2013 to 2017. In August 2014, after his uncle and cousin had both been diagnosed with cancer, Okada established the "Rainmaker Kikin" ("Rainmaker Fund") to battle children's cancer. For every match Okada won, he pledged to donate ¥30,000 (the equivalent of US$378). As of 2017, he is currently in a relationship with voice actress and singer Suzuko Mimori. Edit Biography
