No, he wrestled on the ROH shows in Japan. New Japan didn't want him as a junior but didn't think he was big enough to be a heavyweight and never booked him on one of their shows.
He did have the greatest matches on the 2015 ROH/NJPW Global Wars/War of the Worlds tour.
He killed it with KUSHIDA, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Shinsuke Nakamura, and at Field Of Honor Kazuchika Okada. All in ROH, never in New Japan.
