The WWE United States Champion - Shinsuke Nakamura

Japan is a gold mine of professional wrestlers and Shinsuke Nakamura is one of the greatest Japanese wrestlers of all time. He started his career in Japan where he was one of the biggest stars. He is a multi time IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Champion and one of New Japan's most celebrated wrestlers ever.

He signed with WWE in 2016 and had a cracker of a debut at NXT TakeOver Dallas. He soon became the NXT Champion and had a great run with the belt before being called up to the main roster after WrestleMania 33. His main roster debut was met with immense praise but Nakamura couldn't quite make his mark. He faced AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at this year's WrestleMania and is the current US Champion.

There are several Japanese wrestlers on WWE's roster like Akira Tozawa and Hideo Itami but if WWE wants to gain the attention of the Japanese fans, Shinsuke Nakamura is the man they want.
