Aaron Henry, better known by the ring name HENARE, is a New Zealand professional wrestler signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he has competed since 2016 and is a member of United Empire. He debuted in 2008 with Impact Pro Wrestling (IPW) after turning down a place on New Zealand's Commonwealth wrestling team to pursue professional wrestling.
