Personal Thoughts: One of the best juniors of the 21st century. Able to excel at high-flying, grappling, striking, and pretty much everything else at a higher level than 99% of wrestlers in the world. A lot of people in the Japanese indie wrestling circles tend to focus on his unmasked work as Taro Yamada, but I do have a pretty big soft spot for his work as Kagura. He's mostly the same guy except he spends more time fouling and being a general dickhead. It'll always be a tragedy that the guy has never been given a fair shake on a larger stage, because he'd absolutely kill it.
