Kento Miyahara (宮原 健斗, Miyahara Kento; born February 27, 1989) is a Japanese professional wrestler, signed to All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW), where he is the current seven-time Triple Crown Heavyweight Champion. He was trained by Kensuke Sasaki and started his career in his Kensuke Office promotion in February 2008, before joining AJPW in January 2014. He won his first title, the All Asia Tag Team Championship, in August 2014. He has also held AJPW's World Tag Team Championship. In February 2016, Miyahara won AJPW's top title, the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship, becoming the youngest winner of the title in the process until March 20, 2024, when Yuma Anzai break his record at 24 years. He has since won the title five more times and is tied with Toshiaki Kawada for the most title defenses with ten. Currently regarded as the ace of the promotion, he is known for his charismatic and energetic demeanor in his matches and segments, with him adding brash and anti-authority rhetoric within his later years as the "Best of the Best".
