The third rate little Kawada of SWS/WAR, but what a fun worker he was. Always the most solid of these promotions undercards, with legitimate excellent performances when he got the opportunity (like against Hase in WAR). Lumpy, not overly charismatic but still connecting with his indy audience, better worker than a bunch of the main promotions undercard guys, would probably be a top 100 worker if he had more opportunities to shine, but in his own setting, he was often a blast. I believe he ended up promoting in his own area, some sort of shoot-style promotion with no ring and just a mat on the floor.

Koki Kitahara is one of the most fascinating hidden wrestlers. Tubby mulleted asskicker in a rainbow colored gi, who is a skillful grappler but mostly devolves his matches into violent blunt force asskicking. The CAPTURE project is fascinating. I'm currently trying to catalogue every match he's been in:

I'll probably vote for Kitahara this time and I want to go through Jetlag's list of stuff outside WAR/SWS. A vicious little bruiser who can take an otherwise fine midcard match and turn it into something awesome by losing the rag and trying to brutalise someone.
