Roppongi 3K, also known as Roppongi 3000 or RPG3K, is a professional wrestling tag team made up of Japanese wrestlers Sho and Yoh. Trained in the dojo of the New Japan Pro-Wrestling promotion, the two came together as a team, when NJPW sent them together on an overseas learning excursion in January 2016, first to the Mexican Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) promotion and then to the United States, where they worked most notably for Ring of Honor (ROH) as The Tempura Boyz. Sho and Yoh, under the team name Roppongi 3K and managed by Rocky Romero, returned to NJPW in October 2017, winning the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship in their first match back. Named after the Roppongi district of Minato, Tokyo, the team's name also references Romero's claim that Sho and Yoh were 3000 times better than his previous tag team, Roppongi Vice.

Both Sho Tanaka and Yohei Komatsu entered the New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) dojo in February 2012 and made their debuts for the promotion the following November, eventually starting a storyline rivalry against each other. Tanaka and Komatsu wrestled their first match together as a tag team on March 3, 2013, but did not start teaming regularly until September 2015, following the conclusion of a singles match series between the two. On January 6, 2016, NJPW announced that Tanaka and Komatsu would be leaving the promotion at the end of the month for an overseas learning excursion to their Mexican partner promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). NJPW had previously sent rookies such as Hiromu Takahashi (Kamaitachi) and Kyosuke Mikami (Namajague) to CMLL. Tanaka and Komatsu, however, were the first rookies sent as a team since No Limit (Tetsuya Naito and Yujiro Takahashi) in 2009. They wrestled their NJPW farewell matches as a tag team across the six shows on the following Fantastica Mania 2016 tour.
