Shoji Akiyoshi (秋吉 昭二 Akiyoshi Shōji?) (born September 28, 1968) is a Japanese professional wrestler, better known by the ring name Jado (邪道?). He is best known for his work in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) with his partner Gedo as The World Class Tag Team. Jado and Gedo's careers have largely paralleled each other, except for a brief period Jado spent in Universal Lucha Libre in 1993, a stint in Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling in 1997 where they were on opposing sides, and Jado not having emulated Gedo's tour of North America with World Championship Wrestling. The World Class Tag team has held numerous championships in wrestling, including NJPW's IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, the Universal Wrestling Association's UWA/UWF Intercontinental Tag Team Title, and Dragon Gate's International Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, as well as having won NJPW's Super J Tag League once. Jado and Gedo are co-head bookers of NJPW.
