According to Fightful Select, sources within NJPW have confirmed that Toru Yano has taken on a larger role backstage in 2025. He is involved in various aspects of the organization, including having some influence on the booking process. The report also noted that while Gedo remains the main booker, Yano is quickly gaining power and responsibility within NJPW.
In addition to his backstage contributions, Yano is maintaining a busy schedule in the ring, primarily as a tag team wrestler. Over the past year, he has competed in more than 100 matches but has only had one significant singles match.
