After having seen my share of Dragon Gate lately I've been anxious to get more into Japanese wrestlers.
So, how about some cool recommendations?
I'm most interested in great technical wrestlers in the vein of Bret Hart, and innovative highfliers.
The punch/kick/tackle guys or hardcore only guys isn't very interesting to me.
If you can include what promotions your recommendations is most prolific in it would be appreciated.

Kota Ibushi. Kota Ibushi and Austin Aries vs. the Briscoe Brothers is one of my ALL TIME favorite matches. Hell, any Ibushi match in the states, via EVOLVE, ROH, or CHIKARA has been amazing.
He is the best high flier IN THE WORLD.

You cannot go wrong with old school guys like Tatsumi Fujinami and Yuji Nagata. I also loved All Japan's Women stuff from back in the day.
And let's not forger Super Delfin!

That's my kind of wrestling. |

That's my kind of wrestling. FINALLY! Another Osaka Pro fan! I thought I was the only one here. Tadasuke has been one of my favorite Japanese wrestlers ever since I first saw him. |

It's hard to find full shows anywhere these days. They have a YouTube channel, but it never has full matches. |

Tigers Mask is amazing to watch, and honestly, the whole roster is pretty damn solid. Not sure how I feel about The Bodyguard and Orochimaru, though. I've only seen one full Bodyguard match, against Kensuke Sasaki, and he can have a good match with anyone, but I've heard he's not so good. |

For that matter, I don't know if you'd be able to find anything of him, since I don't know if he's been active since 2007 or 08, but Yoshiaki Yago is a BEAST of a man, and a great striker.

If you like technical wrestling and don't mind women's (joshi) wrestling, then check out Arision and Mariko Yoshida.
