YO-HEY & HAYATA



Tag team
Theme music:  "Africa" (originally by Toto, but for copyright reasons they use a cover). They have also been known to use "Painkiller" (Judas Priest)

Trivia:
  • Tag team champions: late 2017 and early 2018
  • Names are always Romanised and in caps.
  • Part of the RATELS group with Tadasuke and Daisuke Harada
  • YO-HEY does the talking, HAYATA says nothing (and when he does it usually one word "same" and then only when he is prodded into it by YO-HEY). HAYATA usually walks away after speaking.
  • Tag team name comes from the fact that both their first names are "Yohei" (Yohei Fujita and Yohei Hayata).
  • HAYATA is six months older than YO-HEY
  • HAYATA doesn't shake hands with anyone, and doesn't allow YO-HEY to do it either, so he has to wait until he is out if the ring to do it.
  • YO-HEY refers to HAYATA as "The Bride" or "The Wife" because he tells him what to do and due to the fact that they are a pair and always together (not to mention the fact that YO-HEY gives nicknames to everyone in RATELS)
  • YO-HEY'S "peron" is a hard word to translate into English as there is no direct equivalent as it is a mimetic word, but it basically means to roll up, to flip. There is no explanation that would make sense.

Special moves
No combined finisher in specific (i.e. nothing along the lines of a Funky Buster Bomb) but they do use moves in tandem such as a facebuster combination and double super kick.

"Talking like Kenoh"

A phrase coined by Yoshinari Ogawa in an interview with STINGER in "Weekly Pro" in 2022, when he and Chris Ridgeway teased HAYATA ...
