Nobuo Yoshihashi (吉橋 伸雄 Yoshihashi Nobuo?, born May 25, 1982) is a Japanese professional wrestler. He currently works for New Japan Pro Wrestling as Yoshi-Hashi (stylized in all capital letters).
In 2005, Yoshihashi tried to earn a training spot in the New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) dojo, but failed to pass an introductory test. He was eventually accepted into the dojo, after passing the test on his third attempt, and made his professional wrestling debut on July 6, 2008, losing to Tetsuya Naito. Although not competing in G1 Climax 2008 he did wrestle on many of the G1 Climax event. Yoshihashi did not pick up any wins in New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2008. This is normal for rookies in New Japan Pro Wrestling. However, on making his Riki Pro debut on November 3 he teamed up with Kazuchika Okada to beat the team of Kuniyoshi Wada and Yusaku Obata. On February 12, 2009, Yoshihashi won his first match in New Japan Pro Wrestling by teaming with Hiroshi Tanahashi and Yuji Nagata and defeating Kazuchika Okada, Hirooki Goto and Shinsuke Nakamura. After this however, he lost almost all of his matches in 2009. On November 4 Yoshihahsi teamed up with Koji Kanemoto in a losing effort against the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. In 2010 Yoshihashi began winning many more matches for New Japan Pro Wrestling. He teamed up with Jushin Thunder Liger to participate in the first Super J Tag Tournament, however, the pair lost in the first round and were eliminated. He also participated in the 2010 Best of the Super Juniors tournament. Yoshihashi picked up his first ever singles victory in New Japan Pro Wrestling however by winning only one match and losing the rest, therefore gaining two points, he did not progress to the semi final. His last match for New Japan before leaving was a loss with Liger against Davey Richards and La Sombra.
