Atsushi Onita (??? ?, Onita Atsushi, born October 25, 1957) is a Japanese actor, politician, and professional wrestler, best known for his work in Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW).
He is credited with importing to Japan, as well as innovating, the deathmatch style of professional wrestling. He founded FMW in 1989 to defeat Masashi Aoyagi under his own rules and made it a full-fledged organization after his deathmatch style became popular with the Japanese fans.
He was the company's top superstar, wrestling at sold out events with large crowds, making it a hugely successful company and earning a lot of money.
Onita sold the company to Shoichi Arai and retired in 1995 to pursue an acting career, which was unsuccessful, forcing him to return as a wrestler in 1996.
He led stables ZEN and Team Zero after his comeback and departed the company in 1998 as he was upset at his position in the company. He held the FMW Brass Knuckles Heavyweight Championship a record seven times and headlined the first six editions of the company's premier event Anniversary Show from 1989 to 1995.
