Makai Club (魔界倶楽部 Makai Kurabu?), originally called Puroresu Kessha Makai Club (プロレス結社魔界倶楽部 Puroresu Kessha Makai Kurabu?, Pro Wrestling Association Hell Club), was a professional wrestling stable that competed in New Japan Pro Wrestling. It was led by Tadao Yasuda and managed by Kantaro Hoshino, and its gimmick was that of a group of mixed martial arts fighters and pro wrestlers who worshipped Antonio Inoki as a god.
It also had influence over All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling, where it had an extension called Makai Majo Gundan (魔界魔女軍団 Makai Majo Gundan?, Hell Witch Army) which was led by Chiyo Obata.
Makai Club first formed in the summer of 2002 during New Japan's G1 Climax when Antonio Inoki's crown wrestler Tadao Yasuda sent three masked men against Masahiro Chono. One of the masked men would reveal himself as MMA fighter: Ryushi Yanagisawa, while the other two were Makai #1 and Makai #2.
