Daisuke Nakae (中栄 大輔 Nakae Daisuke?) is a Japanese professional wrestler, better known for his ring name Kenoh (拳王 Kenō?). He currently wrestles in Pro Wrestling Noah.
Nakae started training nippon kempo at age of 3, and while in highschool won the championship of his category. Later, in 2003, he was crowned as the youngest All Japan kenpo champion ever, and went to win the contest again in 2006 and 2007. At the time, he was scouted by Jinsei Shinzaki to compete in professional wrestling, an old dream for Daisuke.
Nakae signed with Michinoku Pro Wrestling in 2007, wrestling several exhibitions bouts before officially debuting, under the name of "Kenoh" (拳王 Kenō?, Fist King), against Alexander Otsuka. He spent the year in low-profile matches against fellow trainees Rui Hiugaji and Takayuki Aizawa, and in late 2008 he was sent to Okinawa Pro Wrestling to hone his skills, adopting the name Kanmuriwashi Yoko and the gimmick of an afro kickboxer.
