Profile

Briefly appeared in AAA.

Former sumo wrestler (reached the top rank of yokozuna without ever winning a championship, and was made to retire in disgrace after disrespectful and violent behaviour). Was always known as a difficult character, even as he seemingly mellowed in his 30s. Took up karate and set up a dojo for training ex-karateka in pro wrestling, which is notable for having trained early Toryumon wrestlers Masaaki Mochizuki and TARU.
