The is a professional wrestling world heavyweight championship in the Japanese All Japan Pro Wrestling promotion. The current champion is Kento Miyahara, who is in his seventh reign.

Title history

The championship was established after the unification of All Japan's then-flagship title, the PWF World Heavyweight Championship, with the NWA United National Championship and the NWA International Heavyweight Championship. The titles were unified on April 18, 1989, when NWA International Heavyweight Champion Jumbo Tsuruta defeated the PWF World Heavyweight and NWA United National Champion Stan Hansen. The new title belt, which featured three plates representing the three original title belts, was unveiled on October 27. One of the plates includes the text "Jumbo Tsuruta Apr. 18 1989", representing the crowning of the inaugural champion. There have been a total of 31 recognized champions who have had a combined 70 official reigns. Six men in history have held the championship for a continuous reign of one year (365 days) or more: Mitsuharu Misawa, Suwama, Kento Miyahara (who have each achieved the feat twice), Jumbo Tsuruta, Satoshi Kojima and Toshiaki Kawada.
