Naoki Sano (b. 1966), also known as Yuhi Sano and Takuma Sano, is a Japanese retired Professional Wrestler and Mixed Martial Arts fighter. He debuted in New Japan Pro-Wrestling fresh from highschool, and after an excursion to México to learn the style of lucha libre, he became a rising junior heavyweight and rival to the famous Jushin Thunder Liger. This tenure was cut short when he followed a big money offer to Super World of Sports, and when that didn't work, he did a 180º turn with his career and joined the shoot-style circuit, working for Pro Wrestling Fujiwara Gumi and Union of Wrestling Forces International among others. After the collapse of UWF International, where he seemed to have found his home, he wandered through the independent circuit and a deeply unsuccessful MMA career, until finally landing in Pro Wrestling NOAH. Sano remained there for a decade, playing the role of the stiff, rugged veteran that had done just everything in pro wrestling, until he became a freelancer in 2012 and diversified his appearances before retiring in 2020. He works now as a yakiniku restaurant owner and occasional YouTube personality along with his friend Liger. | |

Finishing Move | |
| Naoki Sano (Wrestling) / int_a43a691b | comment |
Finishing Move: In his New Japan junior times, the tiger suplex. In UWF-i or when he feels like resurrecting shoot-style, armbar and kicks to the head. Since 2001, Northern Lights Bomb (scoop brainbuster, like that of Kensuke Sasaki). | |

Canon Immigrant: He was neither a Yoshiaki Fujiwara trainee nor a NJPW wrestler interested in shoot-style: he only got in PWFG because his original promotion, Super World Sports, had a working relation to PWFG. However, he decided he liked shoot-style more than regular pro wrestling, and switched to UWFI to do it full-time. | |

Brick Joke: At the press conference before UWF-i's debut, Sano actually challenged Nobuhiko Takada to a future match while he was still part of SWS and PWFG. Fast forward a few years later and Sano is part of the UWF-i and gets his match with Takada. | |
