Noé Astro Moreno León (born December 6, 1972) is a Mexican Luchador known under the ring name El Oriental, currently works for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) but is mainly known for his almost 10-year-long stint in Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) along with his sisters Cynthia, Rossy and Esther Moreno. He is the son of wrestler and promoter Alfonso "Acorazado" Moreno and has worked over 70 tours of Japan.
The person who would later become known as El Oriental was born on December 6, 1972 son of Mexican luchador and wrestling promoter Alfonso Moreno. Later on Moreno along with Dr. Wagner and Blue Panther trained El Oriental for his professional wrestling career. He made his debut on October 23, 1992 in Arena Azteca Budokan, the arena his father operated at the time. El Oriental adopted the ring name upon making his debut and has competed exclusively under that name since then. Early in his career he worked mainly in or around his home state of Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, Mexico State, often working with his sisters Cynthia, Rossy and Esther Moreno.
El Oriental has made frequent tours of Japan, over 70 tours so far. He made his first tour of Japan early in his career as he worked for W*ING in 1995. Over the years El Oriental has learned to speak Japanese, which mean that he was later used as a translator for other Mexican wrestlers touring Japan. In the late 1990s he began working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL) Japanese affiliate CMLL Japan, which co-promoted shows with Japanese based Osaka Pro Wrestling. In Japan he became the frequent tag team partner of Tsubasa, with the duo winning the CMLL Japan Tag Team Championship in 1999. The team lost the belts to Masato Yakushiji and Naohiro Hoshikawa on July 2, 1999 shortly before CMLL Japan folded. El Oriental continued to work tours for Osaka Pro even after his association with CMLL ended. On April 4, 2000 El Oriental wrestled and lost to Abismo Negro during the second day of the Michinoku Pro promoted Super J-Cup. On December 24, 2000 El Oriental won Osaka Pro's Hirapar Cup, when he won a 13-man battle royal. During his time with Osaka Pro, he won the Osaka Pro Middleweight Championship on one occasion and also brought the MWF World Welterweight Championship into the promotion, when he lost it to Osaka Pro regular Kabuto Beetle on his last appearance for the promotion.
