Hiromu Takahashi (高橋 広夢, Takahashi Hiromu, ring name: 高橋 ヒロム) (born December 4, 1989)[3] is a Japanese professional wrestler signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) where he is a member of the Los Ingobernables de Japón stable.

Takahashi made his debut for NJPW on August 28, 2010, and worked as a "Young Lion" over the following three years. In January 2014, Takahashi, renamed Kamaitachi (カマイタチ, Kamaitachi), was sent to the Mexican Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) promotion to further his wrestling training and gain international experience, a tradition with NJPW "Young Lions". In January 2016, he won his first professional wrestling championship, the CMLL World Lightweight Championship. After leaving CMLL he worked for the American Ring of Honor (ROH) until the fall of 2016, with Takahashi returning to NJPW in November 2016, once again working under his real name. Since his return, Takahashi has become a five-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, a one-time NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champion with Yota Tsuji and Bushi, and a record four-time Best of the Super Juniors tournament winner (2018, 2020, 2021, 2022). Takahashi made his acting debut in the Kamen Rider franchise, portraying Joseph Rando & Evol-X in the series's universe
