Obayashi began his career in Osaka Pro Wrestling, where he is a former Osaka Pro Wrestling Champion and 3 time Osaka Pro Tag Team Champion, winning the championship once with Gaina and 2 times with longtime rival and partner The Bodyguard. Outside of OPW, he is a former NWA Intercontinental Tag Team Champion, NWA United National Heavyweight Champion and winner of the 2012 Furinkazan Tournament with James Raideen in the Zero1 promotion, and a former Ironman Heavymetalweight Champion in Dramatic Dream Team (DDT).
Obayashi is of Korean descent. His Korean name is Kim Bǒn-u (金 繁優, 김본우), but he used the tsūmei Shigemasa Kanaya (金谷 成格 Kanaya Shigemasa?) until he legally changed his name to Kensho Obayashi when he was naturalized in 2011.
