Yuta made his debut for Ring of Honor (ROH) in the first round of the ROH Pure Tournament, where he was defeated by Jonathan Gresham.[8]

After Tony Khan's purchase of Ring of Honor, it was announced that Yuta would face Josh Woods at the revived Supercard of Honor XV for the ROH Pure Championship. At the event, Yuta defeated Woods to win the title.[9] On the May 24, 2022 episode of Dark, which aired almost two months after their bout at Supercard of Honor XV, Yuta would successfully defend the ROH Pure Championship against Woods in a rematch.[10] Yuta once again defended the title on the June 29 episode of Dark, defeating Tony Nese. After the match, Yuta was attacked by 2point0 and Daniel Garcia.[11] This led to a match between Garcia and Yuta for the title at Death Before Dishonor, in which Yuta successfully retained the championship.[12] Yuta lost the title on the September 7 episode of Dynamite to Garcia, ending his reign at 159 days.[13]

On December 10, 2022, Yuta regained the ROH Pure Championship from Garcia at Final Battle, in turn becoming the first person to hold the title on multiple occasions.[14] On January 18, Yuta made his first title defense against Hagane Shinno at The Jay Briscoe Celebration of Life.[15] Following the start of ROH programming on Honor Club, Yuta successfully defended the title against Timothy Thatcher. After the match, Yuta called out the NJPW LA Dojo, causing dojo graduate Clark Connors to confront Yuta seeking a title shot, which Yuta granted.[16] The following week, Yuta defeated Connors to retain the Pure title. Post-match Yuta called out LA Dojo trainer, Katsuyori Shibata.[17] On March 30, after successfully retaining the title against Leon Ruffin, Yuta was confronted by Shibata, setting up their title match the following day at Supercard of Honor.[18] At the event, Yuta lost the Pure Championship to Shibata, ending his second reign at 111 days.[19]

On the June 29, 2021 episode of Dark: Elevation, Yuta made his debut for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) against Karl Anderson, and would consistently appear on AEW's YouTube shows throughout the coming months. Yuta also joined Best Friends, where he filled in for the injured Trent Beretta in trios matches. On the November 10 episode of Dynamite, Rocky Romero announced that Best Friends would become a sub-group within NJPW stable Chaos, and they would represent the stable in AEW.[20] On the March 30, 2022 episode of Dynamite, after Yuta was defeated by Bryan Danielson, he teased to join the Blackpool Combat Club stable.[21] The April 8 episode of Rampage saw Yuta lose in a hard-fought match to Jon Moxley, which led to him joining the BCC, after being welcomed by the leader William Regal.[22]

On the March 8 2023 episode of Dynamite, after Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli defeated The Dark Order members John Silver and Alex Reynolds, Yuta along with Moxley and Castagnoli beat down Hangman Page, thus turning heel for the first time in his AEW career.[23]
