The matches. The story behind them.
A name change suggested by an opponent
The decision to invite suggestions for a new ring name was made after a match with Amigo Suzuki. Amigo’s suggestion in May 2024 led to a call for ideas. The following month, Kaseda announced in the ring that he would now be known as Nobu Kaseda.

Competing for belts against his Black Peppers partner
He debuted in his hometown at Chofu Green Hall, facing Go under the name Nobuhiro Kaseda. With experience in baseball and kickboxing, he entered professional wrestling in 2019.
His team with Kingo Yamashita is Black Peppers. When Yamashita first won the singles championship, he named Kaseda as his opening challenger. Nobu did not win the belt, but after his name change in 2024, he and Noriyuki Yoshida challenged Shimizu and Yamashita for the tag title. He has wrestled both alongside his partner and against him in championship matches.

He uses his size both to lift opponents and to attack from the air. Away from the ring, his hobby is comparing convenience-store sweets.
