Yuji Okabayashi wins the Kanagawa No-Gear Powerlifting Championships — Miruhon, November 11, 2010

The report explicitly names Big Japan Pro Wrestling athlete Yuji Okabayashi and gives the November 7, 2010 event date, location and best lifts. The 125 kg category is a weight-class limit, not bodyweight. The approximate statement that he was about one kilogram above the lower class is insufficient for an exact weigh-in. No-gear is the source equipment category. Total is excluded because it combines three separate lifts.
