Tetsuya Naito & BUSHI reveal new team name

Following their NJPW departures, former Los Ingobernables de Japon members Tetsuya Naito & BUSHI are adopting a new tag team name.

Naito made a blog post earlier this week saying that, because they do not own the rights to it, he and BUSHI will not be able to use the LIJ name in their post-NJPW careers. The duo revealed today that they will instead be going by “Los Tranquilos de Japon.”

Both Naito and BUSHI shared the new logo for their team today.

“Tranquilo” is a Spanish word that roughly translates to “calm down” or “don’t worry.” It’s a catchphrase Naito adopted after time in Mexico competing for CMLL.

Naito — one of NJPW’s top stars of this era — finished up with the promotion last month after the two sides did not come to terms on a new contract. With Naito leaving, BUSHI also departed NJPW at his own request.

Los Ingobernables de Japon no longer exists as a faction despite the other members remaining with NJPW.
