Daisuke Harada (原田 大輔 Harada Daisuke?) (born November 13, 1986) is a Japanese professional wrestler, currently signed to Pro Wrestling Noah, where he is a former one-time GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion and three-time GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion. He is also known for his time in Osaka Pro Wrestling, where he was a two-time Osaka Pro Wrestling Champion and a two-time Osaka Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champion as part of the tag team Momo no Seishun Tag (桃の青春タッグ Momo no Seishun Taggu?, "Peach of Youth Tag") with Atsushi Kotoge. Harada and Kotoge have also worked together for various other promotions across Japan and for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania–based Chikara in the United States.
Harada reportedly first got interested in professional wrestling through the video game Toukon Ratsuden, after which his first in–person professional wrestling experience was attending the January 4, 1998, Final Power Hall in Tokyo Dome show, witnessing the conclusion of Riki Choshu's retirement tour. Harada began competing in amateur wrestling in his high school and ended up winning Osaka Prefecture's amateur wrestling championship at 60 kg (130 lb). Afterwards, he began training in professional wrestling at Osaka Pro Wrestling's school.
