Hiromu Takahashi (高橋 広夢 Takahashi Hiromu?, ring name: 高橋 ヒロム) (born December 4, 1989 in Hachiōji, Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese professional wrestler, better known by the ring name Kamaitachi (カマイタチ Kamaitachi?). Takahashi made his debut for New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) on August 28, 2010, and worked as a "Young Lion" over the following three years.
In January 2014, Takahashi was sent to the Mexican Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) promotion to further his wresting training and gain international experience, a tradition with NJPW "Young Lions". In January 2016, he won his first professional wrestling championship, the CMLL World Lightweight Championship. After leaving CMLL he worked for the American Ring of Honor (ROH) until the fall of 2016, with Takahashi returning to NJPW in November 2016, once again working under his real name. The following January, Takahashi won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship for the first time.
Takahashi was born on December 9, 1989, in Hachiōji, a city in Tokyo. At the age of 12 he became a fan of professional wrestling, especially Masahiro Chono, who inspired Takahashi to work hard in school to become a member of the track and field team.
