Edit

Kenichi Sakai (坂井 謙一, Sakai Kenichi),[1] (born May 25, 1982 in Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan) is a Japanese professional wrestler in the Michinoku Pro Wrestling promotion known by his ring name Ken45°.

Biography[]

He debuted in Toryumon as "Pineapple Hanai" in the Los Salseros Japoneses stable, along with Takeshi Minamino and Mango Fukuda. He has since changed to a Rock and Roll character along the lines of Japanese legend, Ricky Fuji. When he first joined El Dorado, he wanted to become a member of the Aagan Iisou stable, but would lose a match to Takuya Sugawara which stipulated that he could not even occasionally team up with them. He instead became freelance, not allied with any stable. After growing tired of his free lifestyle, he joined up with the Sukiyaki stable when they were first being formed. He soon turned and joined the Hell Demons stable.

Outside of wrestling, he is part of the rock band Crazy Crew with Ricky Fuji and The The Great Sasuke.
