Naoki Sano (b. 1966), also known as Yuhi Sano and Takuma Sano, is a UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}ese retired {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er and UsefulNotes/MixedMartialArts fighter. He debuted in Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling 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 Wrestling/JushinThunderLiger. 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 Wrestling/ProWrestlingNOAH. 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 Website/YouTube personality along with his friend Liger.
