Daisuke Sasaki is a Japanese professional wrestler from Tokyo, born on November 22, 1985. He is best known for his work in DDT Pro-Wrestling, where he is the current DDT Universal Champion and the leader of the Damnation stable.
Sasaki trained under Dick Togo and made his pro debut in 2005. After a year-long learning tour in Mexico in 2006, where he wrestled in promotions like AULL, CMLL, and IWRG, he returned to Japan and began competing for DDT in late 2007. In DDT, he teamed with Antonio Honda as Sasaki & Gabbana, forming part of the Italian Four Horsemen stable. The duo won the KO-D Tag Team Championship in 2010 and defended it several times into 2011.
He also had appearances in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), including participation in the Best of the Super Juniors and other events, while continuing to wrestle in DDT. Over the years, Sasaki was part of multiple stables, including Monster Army and Los Calientes. In 2014–2015 he aligned with Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi in Golden☆Rendezvous, which evolved into Golden Storm Riders. In 2016 he became the leader of Damnation, a major stable in DDT, and later teamed with Endo to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship.
Throughout his career, Sasaki has captured many titles: KO-D Openweight Championship (three times), KO-D Tag Team Championship (six times), KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship (three times), DDT Extreme Championship (one time), and Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship (three times). He has also held the Chilean Max Lucha Libre Championship and the Independent World Junior Heavyweight Championship.
As of 2020, Sasaki remained a top star in DDT, continuing to compete at a high level and leading the Damnation faction. He won the DDT Universal Championship at Judgement 2020, adding another major milestone to his storied career.
