Outlook - NOAH's premier highspot machine at the time of their birth, Naomichi Marufuji has grown incredibly in the past decade. He probably never would have achieved the same level of success in All Japan, but Marufuji's superstar presence and excellent in-ring ability have pushed him to the top in NOAH. At first, he was just a dynamic worker and took him a while to take his game to the next level. His tag team with KENTA was perhaps the best of the decade and when they finally split they became amazing rivals. Marufuji began adding some bulk and competing amongst heavyweights. Once known as the good-looking spotster, Marufuji is now perhaps the best worker in NOAH. He has refined his style without becoming dull, which makes him the complete package that he has always had the potential to become. Naomichi Marufuji is entering his prime and hopefully he can become the headline star that NOAH needs in the next couple years.
