Yoshinari Ogawa (小川良成; Ogawa Yoshinari) is a Japanese professional wrestler who currently works for Pro Wrestling NOAH. He has earned the nickname of "Rat Boy" due to his sneaky, clever in-ring tatics and baiting his opponents into quick pins.

Career

Ogawa was one of the top stars in All Japan Pro Wrestling's junior heavyweight division in the 1990s, winning the junior heavyweight championship three times. He also reigned as tag team champion with his mentor, Mitsuharu Misawa. Ogawa left AJPW for Misawa's newly started Pro Wrestling NOAH in 2000, where he continued his tag team with Misawa. On April 4, 2002 he scored a huge upset, beating Jun Akiyama very quickly to become the GHC Heavyweight Champion.
