According to a report from Yahoo! Japan, former New Japan Pro Wrestling Superstar and former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Koji Kanemoto was arrested on Friday. During the arrest, he was charged with assault following an altercation with his wife. The site reports that Kanemoto’s wife went through his phone and claimed he was cheating on her. The two then got into a fight.

The Ikuta police apparently then spoke with Kanemoto and he explained the altercation to them.

The translation, which is obviously not perfect, says, “I am certain that I had violence against my wife. I was suspected of cheating because she went through my cell phone without permission. It was a flat-[handed] and one-shot hit.”
