Inoki, also known as Inoki Ness, pseudonym of Fabiano Ballarin (Rome, October 2, 1979), is an Italian rapper and record producer.
It owes its nickname to its old Enok tag, which he later associates with the Old Testament character Enoch. "Ness", on the other hand, is a Bolognese slang expression to indicate who "knows". Furthermore, as he himself stated, the stage name also derives from Antonio Inoki, a well-known Japanese wrestler.
