Kanye West, the American rap superstar, left fans both shocked and delighted with an unexpected appearance at a NOAH Pro Wrestling show in Tokyo, Japan this past weekend. 

Spotted among the crowd, Kanye quickly became the center of attention as masked wrestlers 

from the show made their way over to greet him and his entourage. 

The 47-year-old rapper, hood up and smiling broadly, warmly received fist bumps from El Hijo del Dr Wagner Jr and Galeno del Mal as they approached him.

The event, held at the Shinjuku FACE venue, saw Kanye later mingling with other wrestling celebrities such as Los Golpeadores, Daga, and Super Crazy. 

NOAH Pro Wrestling acknowledged Kanye’s presence at the event with a social media post, stating: 'Great to see Ye, AKA the artist formerly known as Kanye West, watching Pro Wrestling NOAH in Shinjuku FACE tonight!'

This isn’t Kanye's first brush with the wrestling world; he previously made headlines in June for his spirited participation at a Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling event where he danced and sang to his song "Carnival." 

The latest visit to the wrestling scene has once again captured the amusement of his fans, with social media reactions ranging from surprise to sheer joy.
