The J-Crown, also known as the J-Crown Octuple Unified Championship (Japanese: ジュニア8冠王座, Hepburn: Junia 8 kan'ōza, English: Junior 8-Crown Champion), was a unified, multi-promotional professional wrestling championship initially created by New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). It was formed via the unification of eight (later seven) junior heavyweight and other lower-weight class titles from several different organizations. The J-Crown Tournament that crowned the inaugural champion was held in August 1996.
