Five Man Band is undergoing a wick-cleaning project, so examples featuring groups of more than five will be deleted.


* FiveManBand: The founding staff.
** TheLeader: Wrestling/YojiAnjo, as he was the main representative and was featured in the main event at almost every show.
** TheLancer: Wrestling/HiromitsuKanehara, since he was thought to be the most skilled of the UWFI trainees.
** TheBigGuy: Wrestling/YoshihiroTakayama, since he was easily the biggest guy.
** TheSmartGuy: Wrestling/MasahitoKakihara, since while he was one of the most skilled UWFI trainees, he was injury prone. He also arguably inherited the role from Kazuo Yamazaki as he was his assistant.
** TheChick: Wrestling/KazushiSakuraba, since he was not at the time thought to be the next ace and was probably the happiest guy there.
** SixthRanger: Kenichi Yamamoto, since he was another promising trainee of UWFI, he just never got to be successful in Kingdom due to its short life.
** TagalongKid: [[Wrestling/NaokiSano Yuhi Sano]], since he began to be featured less as the shows went on. Daijiro Matsui, since he was a dependable wrestler but not that skilled. Ryuki Ueyama as well since he only had one match in UWFI before it shut down, and only had a an exhibition match with Takada in Kingdom.
** TokenWhite: Billy Scott, since he was the only ganjin from UWFI who stuck around for Kingdom and not Steve Nelson’s USWF.
** TheManBehindTheMan: Wrestling/NobuhikoTakada, since he didn’t actually wrestle on the shows, only doing an exhibition match with Ryuki Ueyama at the first show.
