History
Sanada was trained by AJPW Dojo and turned pro on March 13, 2007 in a losing effort teaming with Ryuji Hijikata against Katsuhiko Nakajima and Y28. Within a few months into his career, Sanada won his first honor when he teamed with Kensuke Sasaki and Nakajima to win the Samurai! TV Triple Arrow Tournament on May 29, 2007[7]. Following the tournament victory, Sanada spent the next two years in opening match wrestling other up-and-comers and began teaming with Manabu Soya[8]. By 2009, Sanada began moving up the card as he took part in his first Champion's Carnival but finished last with no points[9]. Later in the year, Sanada broke up with Soya and briefly teamed up with Osamu Nishimura with the two entering the 2009 World's Strongest Tag League with Sanada even getting a pinfall victory over the tag team champions: Taiyo Kea and Minoru Suzuki but the team's run ended when Sanada suffered the flu and had to withdraw from the tournament[10].
In 2010, Sanada once again entered the Champion's Carnival but the results were the same as he finished last in his block with no points[11]. By the spring, Sanada helpped form the New Generation Force stable with Suwama, Masayuki Kono, Ryota Hama, and Manabu Soya. On August 29, 2010 at Pro Wrestling LOVE in Ryogoku Vol. 10, Sanada and Soya defeated TARU and Big Daddy Voodoo to win the AJPW All Asia Tag Team Championship[12]. Sanada and Soya entered the 2010 World's Stongest Tag League in the fall where they finished in 6th place with 7 Points[13].
