ABOUT 
Daisuke Harada is not Noah born, he came to Noah from Osaka Pro in May 2013. Nevertheless, he has proved himself to be one of the co-leaders of the Noah Juniors (FYI: "Junior" means "cruiser-weight" or "lightweight", and has no bearing on age), along with probably Hajime Ohara.
He held the GHC Junior Heavyweight championship, during his second reign, for 394 days, and was only eleven days off beating Taiji Ishimori's record of 405, before he lost it to Kotaro Suzuki in October 2018. Daisuke Harada had made six defenses of the title, including against two of his own faction, and a hardcore match with Hi69. He also had a stellar match against the then GHC Heavyweight Champion, Takashi Sugiura, at the RATELS produce, although he didn't win, he demonstrated his strength by Olympic slamming a man who was bigger and heavier.
Stocky, strong, skilled and technical (and with a hinted move to the heavyweight division in the future), it is said he rarely has a bad match. Harada can be pretty ruthless when angered, and looks like a shark that has smelled blood.
