Kazuchika Okada is leaving NJPW soon, as his contract expires at the end of the month.
In a post on Instagram, Ultimo Dragon noted that Okada told him personally that he was leaving and that he hadn’t decided where he was going at this time. He wrote,
“Okada came yesterday to meet me to let me know he is leaving New Japan. Ever since he came to Toryumon when he was 15 years old, he has always been very humble. Every time he has had an important event in his life, he always lets me know. Although he hasn’t decided yet, I’m sure he will continue to be a superstar wherever he goes. But not only that, I know he will never change and will continue to be the great man he is.”

Kazuchika Okada, one of the top stars in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), is set to leave the promotion as his contract expires at the end of the month. This news has sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, as Okada is widely regarded as one of the best in-ring performers in the industry today.
The announcement was made by Ultimo Dragon, a legendary wrestler and trainer, who revealed on Instagram that Okada personally informed him about his departure. Dragon praised Okada’s humility and expressed confidence that he will continue to be a superstar wherever he goes.
Okada’s departure from NJPW marks the end of an era for the promotion. He has been a cornerstone of the company for over a decade and has played a significant role in its global expansion. During his time in NJPW, Okada has held the IWGP Heavyweight Championship a record-breaking five times and has had numerous classic matches against some of the biggest names in the industry.
Speculation is now rife about where Okada will go next. Many fans and industry insiders believe that he could potentially join a major promotion in the United States, such as WWE or All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Both companies have shown interest in Okada in the past, and his signing would undoubtedly be a major coup for either promotion.
Regardless of where he ends up, Okada’s departure from NJPW will leave a void that will be difficult to fill. His unique blend of athleticism, storytelling, and charisma has made him a fan favorite around the world. His matches are often considered masterpieces, with his signature move, the Rainmaker, becoming iconic in the wrestling community.
