Tomoyuki Oka came up through the NJPW system as a Young Lion trained primarily by Yuji Nagata. Prior to training in wrestling, He had an ametuer wrestling background. In 2018, he went on an excursion to England and wrestled for NJPW affiliate promotion RPW.
While wrestling in RPW, Oka adapted a new gimmick and name, wrestling as the Great-O-Kharn and then modifying his name eventually to the Great-O-Khan. His gimmick is influenced by Mongol empire leader Ghenghis Khan.
O-Khan debuted in NJPW this past October during the G1 Climax tournament when he helped Will Ospreay beat Kazuchika Okada. He went on to work a short program where he dropped a match to Okada.

Hiromu Takahashi vs. Robbie Eagles from the 11/29 New Japan show was my pick of the bunch, with Eagles showing why so many were calling him the MVP of the Best of the Super Junior tournament, despite his fairly low standing.
