Luis Mante Revealed as Pro Wrestling NOAH’s Mysterious Phantom Invader

By: Ian McCord 

During Pro Wrestling NOAH’s LEGACY RISE 2026 at Korakuen Hall on October 15th, the identity of the Mysterious Phantom Invader was revealed to be none other than Dragongate Japan Pro-Wrestling regular, Luis Mante.

Following a tag match pitting GHC National Champion Naomichi Marufuji and GHC200 Champion HAYATA against their respective WRESTLE ODYSSEY II opponents in M.P.I and Shuji Kondo, Marufuji demanded that M.P.I unmask.

After unmasking in front of a very supportive Korakuen crowd, Mante took to social media following the event to apologize for barging into NOAH under such mysterious conditions. However, he explained that if you want something you must act cautiously, referring to the GHC National Championship.

From Luis Mante Via X:

“Were you all surprised!? To everyone seeing me for the first time, nice to meet you! My name is Luis Mante. I’m sorry for suddenly barging in as the mysterious masked man MPI. When there’s something you really want, you sometimes have to act cautiously. My goal is clear! The GHC National Championship in Marufuji’s hands. Marufuji, now that I’ve taken off my mask, let me ask you something. Did you really know my true identity!?”

Mante is no stranger to Pro Wrestling NOAH, having competed in the N-1 VICTORY tournament back in 2024. Most recently, in the main event of NOAH’s WRESTLE MAGIC 2026 back in June, teaming with DDT’s Chris Brookes and NJPW’s Zack Sabre Jr. picking up the win over Kaito Kiyomiya, Archie Cole, and Titus Alexander.

Now that the mystery is over, it will be Mante getting his shot at Naomichi Marufuji and the GHC National Championship at WRESTLE ODYSSEY II at the Ryogoku Kokugikan on October 25th.
