Akihito Sawafuji (澤藤 章人, Sawafuji Akihito, born August 27, 1976),[1][2][4][5] is a Japanese color commentator and retired professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Milano Collection A. T. (ミラノコレクションA.T., Mirano Korekushon Ē Tī). As Milano, Sawafuji adopted the gimmick of an Italian fashion aficionado/supermodel, reflected in his ring attire. Milano is also known for walking to the ring with an invisible dog known as Mikeru. After retiring from in-ring competition in 2010, Milano began working as a color commentator for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), a position he maintains to this day.
