Career
[edit | edit source]He had a strong background in Greco-Roman wrestling and debuted on November 3, 2013 for IGF.[3] He went to a time limit draw against Akira Jo. He stopped wrestling to focus on college and returned on IGF's December 31, 2013 show in another time limit draw.[3]
He continued wrestling mostly for IGF throughout 2014 and 2015 and made appearances for various promotions starting in 2016.[4][5] On October 2, 2016, he and Tomohiko Hashimoto, captured Apache Pro's WEW World Tag Team Championship. The team held the titles until December 25, 2016, when they were defeated by Tatsuhito Takaiwa and Tetsuhiro Kuroda. In 2017, he competed in a lethwei match but was defeated.[6] He became a full-time member of Dramatic Dream Team in 2018, but resigned on April 30, 2019. Almost immediately after, he started wrestling exclusively for Dragon Gate.[7]
He became a member of Masaaki Mochizuki's unit, Mochizuki Dojo in the summer of 2019, after briefly feuding with Mochizuki.[1] The unit was disbanded in December 2019 with most of its members merging into the Dragon Gate unit.[7]
He captured the Open the Brave Gate Championship on November 3, 2020 by defeating Kaito Ishida.[1][8][9][10]
Okuda made his return to MMA, facing kickboxer Hiroaki Suzuki on October 10, 2021 at Rizin Landmark Vol.1. He lost the bout via TKO in the first round.[11]
Okuda faced Yuta Kubo at Rizin Landmark 4 on November 6, 2022. He lost the fight by TKO stoppage at the end of the first round.[12]
