The dude's a fountain of Japanese wrestling history. He's written two books about Japanese wresting history. He's also part of New Japan's English translation and commentary team. I understand if you haven't come across his name before but this is VERY wrestling related.

I've been reading Lion's Pride: The Turbulent History of New Japan Pro Wrestling because I'm not up on my New Japan history. I'm about 60% of the way done, and I recommend it. It's pretty detailed and a quick read.
The most comprehensive history of the NJPW promotion would Lion's Pride found here: https://www.amazon.com/Lions-Pride-Turbulent-History-Wrestling-ebook/dp/B017IUSDVW/
As for MMA in Japan that's a bit trickier and is something that kind of needs to be made in a full book(s).
Lion's Pride. Great read.
