Professional wrestling career[]
Pro Wrestling NOAH (2023–Present)[]
He joined the Pro Wrestling Noah dojo in 2022. As fellow trainees left one after another, Owada was left the only one left to train and do chores around the ring on his own. He made his official debut against fellow rookie Kai Fujimura on July 15, 2023 at One Night Dream in a losing effort. As is customary for most professional wrestlers, Owada spent most of his matches losing to other, more experienced wrestlers, which would help put over other wrestlers while at the same time give Owada some in-ring, televised, experience. On February 10, 2024, Owada begged to Kenoh for a chance to compete in the 2024 Victory Challenge Tag League, with Kenoh daring Owada to seize his chance, and as a result he accepted Owada's request. Despite impressing in the tournament, they finished with a record of two wins, four losses, and a draw, failing to advance to the finals of the tournament.
On January 2, 2025 at New Year Reboot, Owada began developing heel character tendencies, after turning on his partner Naomichi Marufuji to eliminated them in a tag team rumble match. Later that night, he was revealed as Team 2000 X newest member, with his hatred towards Kiyomiya, being the reason to join them, cementing his heel turn. He subsquently renamed himself to "Owadasan, as part of his addition to the stable.
