This is a list of Japanese professional wrestler Mitsuharu Misawa's championships and accomplishments. Misawa (1962–2009) debuted for All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) in 1981, and began work as the second incarnation of the Tiger Mask gimmick in 1984. He achieved some success as the character, but when he unmasked mid-match in May 1990, Misawa was pushed to the top of the company, and became one of AJPW's most decorated wrestlers of the 1990s. When he led a mass exodus to start his promotion Pro Wrestling Noah, he continued to have great success until his death in an in-ring accident. Misawa also received significant critical acclaim from domestic and international publications throughout his career.
