Daichi Hashimoto (橋本 大地 , Hashimoto Daichi, born April 13, 1992) is a Japanese professional wrestler, currently signed to Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW) in the Strong BJ division, where he is the current World Strong Heavyweight Champion in his second reign. He is the son of Shinya Hashimoto and started his career in his father’s Pro Wrestling Zero1 promotion.

When his father died in July 2005, Daichi decided he wanted to become a professional wrestler in order to honour his father’s memory.

In September 2009, he took part in his father’s 25th Anniversary show, hosted by Pro Wrestling Zero1. He competed in an exhibition kickboxing match against Satoshi Kobayashi. The match was declared a draw after two two-minute rounds. After the show, Daichi expressed his desire to become a pro wrestler and Masahiro Chono and Shinjiro Otani picked up on his desire and trained him for nearly a year and a half.

After nearly a year and a half of training, Daichi Hashimoto made his debut on March 6, 2011, at Pro Wrestling Zero1’s 10th Anniversary show, where he wrestled Masahiro Chono in a losing effort. After the match, he was given advice from his “uncles” Chono and Keiji Mutoh, and he was also embraced by his mother and his two younger sisters.
