On October 13, 2014, at [[King of Pro-Wrestling (2014)|King of Pro-Wrestling]], Yamamoto, billed as Yoshitatsu, returned to New Japan, attacking [[Jeff Jarrett]] when he interfered in the main event match and, in doing so, helped Hiroshi Tanahashi defeat [[AJ Styles|A.J. Styles]] for the [[IWGP Heavyweight Championship]]. Yamamoto did not return to working under his real name due to being known better under the name Yoshi Tatsu, but he also could not continue working under his WWE name because of trademark issues, which led to the name's tweaked spelling. He was given the new gimmick of a "[[Bullet Club]] hunter", which saw him state that he had grown sick of seeing WWE and NXT employees wearing Bullet Club shirts and was now looking to eliminate the villainous stable from professional wrestling, starting with A.J. Styles. Yoshitatsu wrestled his return match on November 8 at [[Power Struggle (2014)|Power Struggle]], where he was defeated by Styles, following outside interference from Jarrett. Styles won after performing with his signature finisher, the ''Styles Clash''. While performing the move, Yoshitatsu moved his head down before the point of impact with the mat. Instead of having his face slammed into the mat he took his weight, Styles' weight, and all of the force onto his neck. After the match, Jarrett hit Yoshitatsu with a guitar. On November 14, Yoshitatsu and Hiroshi Tanahashi announced they were forming a new tag team named "The World". The World was scheduled to take part in the [[G1 Tag League#2014|2014 World Tag League]], but after their opening match on November 22, Yoshitatsu was forced to pull out of the tournament with a neck injury. On November 25, Yamamoto announced he had two broken bones in his neck, suffered presumably in his match with Styles when he botched the ''Styles Clash''. Yamamoto had a halo installed in his skull, which he wore for the next three months. In May 2015, Yamamoto started training for a comeback at the Team Vision Gym in Orlando, Florida. |

| − | On January 4, 2016, Yoshitatsu returned as part of the English announcing team at [[Wrestle Kingdom 10|Wrestle Kingdom 10 in Tokyo Dome]]. On March 22, NJPW announced that Yoshitatsu would wrestle his NJPW return match on April 10 at [[Invasion Attack 2016]], where he, Hiroshi Tanahashi and [[Michael Elgin]] defeated Bullet Club's [[Kenny Omega]] and [[The Young Bucks]] (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) to win the [[NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship]]. Afterwards, Yoshitatsu announced he was forming a new stable named "Hunter Club" to oppose Bullet Club. However, neither Elgin nor Tanahashi accepted Yoshitatsu's invitation to join the stable, which led to [[Captain New Japan]] stepping up as the first member of the new group. Yoshitatsu then debuted a new gimmick, where he began mimicking Triple H, which included him adopting the ''Pedigree'' as his finishing move. Yoshitatsu, Elgin and Tanahashi made their first successful title defense on April 23 against the Bullet Club trio of [[Bad Luck Fale]], Kenny Omega and [[Yujiro Takahashi]]. On May 3 at [[Wrestling Dontaku 2016]], they lost the title back to Omega and The Young Bucks. On September 12, Yoshitatsu, upset with Captain New Japan's poor performances, announced a twitter poll that would decide whether he would get to stay in Hunter Club. However, on September 25 at [[Destruction (2016)|Destruction in Kobe]], Captain New Japan turned on Yoshitatsu and jumped to Bullet Club. After starting a feud with Captain New Japan, now renamed "Bone Soldier", Yoshitatsu announced on November 5 that he had recruited [[Billy Gunn]] as his new Hunter Club partner for the [[G1 Tag League#2016|2016 World Tag League]]. Yoshitatsu and Gunn finished the tournament on December 8 with a record of three wins and four losses, failing to advance from their block, though Yoshitatsu managed to pin Bone Soldier in their final round-robin match.
