Satoshi Kojima (Xiao Dao Cong , Kojima Satoshi, born on September 14, 1970) is a Japanese professional wrestler who is currently associated with New Japan Pro- Wrestling. As a singles wrestler Kojima was the first wrestler to be the NJPW’s IWGP Heavyweight Championship and All Japan Pro Wrestling’s Triple Crown Championship simultaneously, and is one of three wrestlers who hold three titles simultaneously: the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, Triple Crown Championship and NWA World Heavyweight Championship (the other two being Keiji Mutoh and Shinya Hashimoto, and Big Van Vader).

In October 2006 , it was made public that Tencozy was set to reform to compete in the forthcoming World’s Strongest Tag Determination League tournament. On the 2nd of December of 2006, the new Tencozy took home the World’s Strongest Tag Determination League beating Kohei Suwama as well as RO’Z at the end of their match after Kojima utilized a lariat against RO’Z. The pair then faced Masahiro Chono, and Keiji Mutoh in NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom at the Tokyo Dome. They were defeated after Chono made Tenzan to fall to the floor.

In July 2007, Kojima shocked the All-Japan Army when he betrayed them and joined the Voodoo Murders, where he was quickly made the group’s co-leader along with TARU. Soon after joining, Kojima and TARU won the World Tag Team Championship from Toshiaki Kawada and Taiyō Kea. Kojima left the group in 2008 after returning from injury to side with his sworn friend Hiroyoshi Tenzan and to feud with the alliance of Great Bash Heel (Tenzan’s former group) and the VooDoo Murders.

In 2008, Tenzan and Kojima became the first tag team to ever win G1 Tag League and World’s Strongest Tag Determination League in the same year. Later he started his 1st stable named F4 (Friend Fight Fan and Future) with young proteges YAMATO and KAI. A 4th member in Zodiac joined later in 2009. On September 26, 2009 a few days after his 39th birthday Kojima lifted the All- Japan Triple Crown off of Yoshihiro Takayama, returning the titles to All- Japan and winning them for the 2nd time. He lost the title on March 21, 2010 to Ryota Hama.

The year was January, 2002. while fighting Antonio Inoki focusing the IWGP title on shoot style wrestlers like Kazuyuki Fujita or Tadao Yasuda Kojima quit NJPW alongside its mentor Keiji Mutoh. He then was a part of All Japan Pro Wrestling where he finally was able to be pushed by a superstar. He won both of the tag team titles for the company as well as which included the World Tag Team Championship twice. The 16th of February, 2005 He was awarded the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship, the AJPW’s heavyweight championship that is unified with Toshiaki Kawada. Just four days later, he was awarded NJPW’s heavyweight title and it was the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, from his former tag teammate Hiroyoshi Tenzan during a promotional cross- promotional dual title match. The match featured a unique ending designed to fool the those who were watching. The goal was to appear as if the fight was set to be an hour-long timing limit draw. In the final minutes remaining before the match could be declared a time-limit draw Tenzan however, believed to be suffering from a genuine back injury, was not able to continue. The result was Kojima being declared as the winner and being crowned the current IWGP Heavyweight Champion. NJPW officials came with the final intended to appear like an “mistake”, having agreed with AJPW that it would be more effective for the match if Kojima had won the fight however, they did not want the fight to end with an ordinary knockout or submission. On May 14 the 14th of May, the year 2005 Tenzan took home the IWGP title again but not winning the Triple Crown.
