As in, people in the WWE borrow heavily from his/her moveset?
Granted, he's in NXT, now, but KENTA has to be up there. Punk used the GTS, DB used the knee...

Nova. As soon as he did a new move in ECW, 5 people in wrestling start using it and claiming they invented that.

If you're counting KENTA in NXT, then you have to count Chris Jericho as a part-timer. Jericho invented everything done, including Nova, KENTA, and Canada.

While I doubt it's him, and obviously he'd been in WWE, but I still love the story of Lance Storm needing a finisher when coming to WCW, since in ECW, he typically just used opponents' finishers on them such as Jerry Lynn's cradle piledriver. So, as Storm tells it:
I imagine Kenta Kobashi gets moves stolen from him a lot, given both Foley and Buff Bagwell stole his DDT.

Every Indy worker from the early 2000s seems to have ripped of KENTA. Also the chop/ elbow exchanges are lame when you can tell they are just imitating a 90s All Japan match they saw on tape. Most Indy wrestlers think they are the only person who ever saw a Misawa match.

Wasnt the DDT that Foley and Bagwell used stolen from Dusty Rhodes or Adonis?

I can't speak for Bagwell, but Mick did specifically say he "shamelessly" stole it from Kenta Kobashi, though he may have taken it from one of those two, himself.

Most likely some Joshi star from the 80's...tons of cool powerbomb, piledriver, and ddt innovations that most dudes stole from.

2 Cold Scorpio. Maybe not as many as Joshi(Holy shit, half stuff guys use came from them. Vertabreaker anyone?), but look at the stuff Cold did and look how much it influence high flyers.
