</p><div style="text-align:left;"><p><strong>Overview:</strong></p><p>
Azumamaro Kita is a young Japanese worker who is known for his aggressive, strike-based attacks, often using Muay Thai inspired kicks and elbows to slug away at his opponent. After a strong year of performances on the independent scene in 2011, Kita caught the eye of Pro Wrestling SAISHO's management and he was signed to a deal. He has proven to be a great signing for them, having rapidly emerged as a star worker - it now seems inevitable that he will outgrow them and head for a larger promotion sooner rather than later.</p><p> </p><p>

Noburo 'Blast' Ikoma is a Japanese worker who got his nickname from his high-impact suplexes, his favourite trick being to suplex his opponent into the turnbuckles at pace. After gaining a few years of experience on the independent circuit Ikoma got his first big break when he was signed to be part of the original Black Canvas Grappling roster. He won his first major title, the BCG Challengers Series, in September 2013 and went on to capture the BCG World title from Funakoshi in October the following year.</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:left;"><p><strong>Overview:</strong></p><p>
If you were somehow able to take the concept of puroresu and use it to create a human being, you would likely come up with Funakoshi; his short, thick torso and powerful thighs give him good power and endurance, his tenacity allows him to keep on fighting to the very end, his technical skills ally well with his strong striking, and he has the fighting spirit of an ancient samurai. Part of the initial Black Canvas Grappling roster, Funakoshi seems to have found his natural home and has become a major success story - defeating the legendary Pistol Pete Hall for the BCG World championship in May 2013 being the key moment that cemented his position as the star of the company.</p><p> </p><p>

Rokuemon Matsushita is a massive Japanese worker who was discovered by Black Canvas Grappling. Standing 6'7 tall and at 375lb, Matsushita towers over most opponents and uses his bulk well, dominating with weight-based moves like avalanches, splashes and bear hugs. He is still green and prone to rookie errors, but he has definitely has the potential to be something special and BCG appear to be carefully building him up for the future.</p><p> </p><p>

Yoshinaka Taku is a Japanese wrestler, the son of Toshinobu Taku. The youngster first came to fame in December 2011, just over a year after his debut, when he was picked up to be part of the initial Black Canvas Grappling roster - probably as a favour to his dad, who was also working for them. A promising talent, he has spent most of his time thus far teaming with his father, and in 2015 achieved the rare feat of being part of a father-son championship winning tag team.</p><p> </p><p>

"Machine Gun" Bunrakuken Torii is a rising star in Japan, one of the first break-out stars that Black Canvas Grappling unearthed. An athletic 240lber, Torii gained his nickname because of his rapid fire forearm attacks, used especially when he's backed an opponent into a corner and can really unleash hell; the forearm is actually the basis of a large percentage of his moves, including a sweet flying forearm from the top rope and his finisher, the spinning forearm smash. Known for his warrior spirit, Torii took a big step toward greatness when he won the Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix in 2014, then followed that up by winning the BCG World title in 2015 - that victory made him the first person to win the BCG Quadruple Crown.</p><p> </p><p>

A rising star in Japan, Razan Okamoto was discovered by Black Canvas Grappling and has been wrestling for them since their first show. A quick, athletic wrestler, Okamoto's big strength is actually on defence - his selling is extraordinary, he simply has the natural ability to suck people into caring about him. That, plus his cheeky charisma, makes him a natural babyface and one of the big prospects for BCG's future. He shocked everyone by making it to the final of the Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix tournament in 2013; although he lost to Funakoshi, the tournament firmly established him as a future star. He repeated the feat in 2014, losing to Bunrakuken Torii, before finally coming good and winning the entire tournament in 2015.</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:left;"><p><strong>Overview:</strong></p><p>
Inejiro Yoshizawa (no relation to the legendary Kazu Yoshizawa) is known mostly for his tag team work alongside Noritoshi Miura. Originally called The Apocalypse Riders and wearing face paint and armour (a name and gimmick given to them during a one-shot appearance for WLW), Yoshizawa was called Spirit Of The Lizard and the duo primarily worked the independent scene. In late 2011 they joined Black Canvas Grappling as part of the debut roster, a move that saw them revert to their real names and adopt a more serious attitude - they are now widely regarded as BCG's premier duo.</p><p> </p><p>

Noritoshi Miura is best known as a tag team worker, being the regular partner of Inejiro Yoshizawa. They first came to fame as The Apocalypse Riders, a team that was created for a one-shot appearance in WLW that saw them wearing colourful face paint and spiked armour - Miura was called Spirit Of The Shark. They retained that gimmick for several years on the independent circuit, right up until they joined Black Canvas Grappling's initial roster. Realising that their gimmicky look would not go over well with the BCG audience they appeared under their real names and adopted patriotic Japanese outfits to get themselves noticed. They have become a fine, championship-winning tandem in BCG.</p><p> </p><p>

Greg Gauge is the son of the legendary Sam Keith and identical twin brother of Matthew (Gauge is the real family surname, "Keith" is a stage name - Greg has stated that he prefers to use his real name purely because the alliteration sounds better, and that his dad had no problem with that). Trained exclusively by their father, even at an early age both boys showed signs of his famously lightning fast, fluid technical wrestling. Greg got his first taste of fame in 2009 when he headed to Japan to work for GCG, where he fit in perfectly. In 2014 he debuted for his dad's MAW, appropriately debuting at the Sam Keith Classic, and now has a busy schedule working for both companies.</p><p> </p><p>

Findlay O'Farraday is a big brawler from Cobb County, Georgia. The 300lb southerner made his name in Mid Atlantic Wrestling where he was the most dominant wrestler in the company's history, winning multiple titles during his career there. Towards the end of his seven year stint with MAW he also started working regularly for BCG in Japan, having been recommended by the legendary Pistol Pete Hall who had seen him in action and been extremely impressed by his physicality. Working as Big Bruiser Findlay, he is slowly being positioned as the main gaijin threat in the promotion.</p><p> </p><p>

"Bulldozer" Brandon Smith is a heavyweight grappler from Robinsdale, Minnesota. A former football stand-out, he began training to be a wrestler when a knee injury ended his dreams of pro ball. He is a powerful fighter who generally likes to get in close and crush his opponent with heavy duty Japanese-style suplexes and violent slams. He made his name in MAW, where as the ultra old-school character American Patriot he was champion for over a year, and has since gone on to split his time between America (with NYCW) and Japan (as a regular tourer with BCG).</p><p> </p><p>

Leon "Giant" Brody is a 6'9, 326lb monster of a man. At first glance he may appear to be a generic brawler, using the same stand-up slugfest style as many of his peers, but upon closer inspection you can see that he has surprising agility for a big guy and there are some decent high risk moves in his arsenal (including a truly wicked plancha dive). Brody was under a development deal with SWF between 2009 and 2012 but was eventually released and told to go and gain experience working the independent scene. Since then he has been working regularly for FCW in Puerto Rico, and in 2015 he made his first tour of Japan with Black Canvas Grappling.</p><p> </p><p>

Scott "Animal" Harker is a wild brawler from Dallas, Texas, who some see shades of the late great Wild Man Sullivan in. The 280lb bruiser is fairly limited in terms of technique, but makes up for that with an intense attack style and a willingness to take a beating. He also seems to have a natural ability to get a crowd on his side, as even though he hardly ever touches a microphone he always seems to have the fans rooting for him. After a year on the independent scene paying his dues Animal got his first break in 2009 when New York City Wrestling took him out East to work for them. He has turned into one of their most reliable performers. Since late 2014 Harker has also been regularly appearing for BCG in Japan.</p><p> </p><p>

"Glorious" Logan Wolfsbaine is a promising young talent from Florida who is of German descent. A high school athletic stand-out, excelling in multiple sports, he is a former two-time state champion in freestyle wrestling. Turning pro in late 2015, it is clear that he possesses all the tools to be a major player if handled right; looks, skill, athleticism and drive. He also has some pedigree in the business - he is the nephew of Raymond Diaz, a legendary figure from PGHW in Japan. His uncle's name value was enough to get the interest of several companies, but it was PSW who signed him up almost immediately upon him turning pro.</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

Azumamaro Shimizu is a solid competitor from Japan. A graduate of the Golden Canvas Grappling dojo, his strengths and weaknesses are clear for all to see within minutes of watching him in action; the positive side is that he is reliable, dependable, and has the technical skills to make him a dangerous opponent. The negative is that he is fairly bland and uninspiring, and even at this early stage of his career he has 'midcarder for life' written all over him. He has been working opening matches for GCG since his debut in 2013.</p><p> </p><p>

Danjuro Kikuchi is a technical wrestling specialist. He is unashamedly an old fashioned fighter, from his methodical working of a body part right through to his plain black trunks and wrestling boots, and that is both his strength and his weakness. It is a strength, as you always know what you are getting from him, reliable technical wrestling with no gimmicks or short-cuts. It's his weakness, as he does come across as being out of place in modern Japan. Kikuchi joined GCG in late 2015, having spent a year gaining experience on the independent scene.</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

Gidayu "The Lariat" Katou is a powerful competitor from Japan who, as his nickname suggests, possesses a fearsome lariat in his arsenal. A good natural athlete, he is quick and fluid in the ring, although he does have a tendency to get over-excited and occasionally gas himself. As well as his big lariat, his other major moves include a visually awesome moonsault, an impressive pumphandle clutch into an overhead suplex, and a back-breakingly vicious backdrop suplex.</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

Isoruko Arakaki is a very big Japanese worker who stands 6'10 and weighs 330lbs. He is particularly agile for a big man, but it is his devastating power and viciousness that are his trademarks, hurling opponents around the ring with abandon. He is particularly noted for his two biggest moves; one is his brutal Lariat, the other is the inverted piledriver that he calls the Arakaki Spike. When either hits it is usually a case of "lights out" for the unfortunate opponent. Arakaki was picked up by Pro Wrestling SAISHO immediately upon turning professional and is now developing under the watchful eye of Mito Miwa.</p><p> </p><p>

Motoyuki Miyake is a tough-as-nails Japanese competitor who is noted for his permanently stern and serious expression. He is very much a no-frills fighter; he comes down to the ring in his usual blue trunks and shoot fighting gloves and boots, hits hard, fast and often, and then heads back to the locker room. His arsenal of moves is heavily influenced by MMA, with a lot of extremely stiff knees and kicks featuring heavily, and some painful armbar submissions too. Many think that Miyake is one of the brightest young wrestlers in Japan and could be a huge superstar somewhere down the line.</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

Naozane Goto is a former sumo competitor who has since switched to professional wrestling. Weighing in at 380lbs he is not a small man by any means but he is not unhealthily fat either, he simply has a naturally bulky physique. His attacking style is based around that size, combined with his surprising agility, and centers around moves like big splashes, high velocity reverse avalanches, and belly to belly suplexes. He joined BCG after turning pro and looks like he could develop into a star for them.</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

Stealth Z is a young Japanese high flyer, although nobody is really sure who the man behind the mask really is. The character of "Stealth Z" is actually taken from a popular Manga animation where he is a mysterious samurai from the future; the wrestling version takes a similar approach, using many martial arts moves that the animated version uses too. In terms of in-ring skill, it is too early to tell how good he can become, but he is definitely an exciting talent to watch. He popped up in EX2010 in early 2013, although there was some confusion over his status within the company as his appearances were very sporadic to say the least. By the summer of 2014 it was confirmed that he was no longer on the roster - to this day, nobody is sure what really happened.</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

Moromao "Dynamite" Narahashi is an energetic worker who got the nickname "Dynamite" thanks to his deadly Narahashi Cutter, the most explosive finishing move in Japan. A lot was expected from Narahashi early on, not least after he was voted Rookie Of The Year by the press in 2004 following a great year of matches in BHOTWG - the weight of expectation clearly became a burden though and his career dipped dramatically after, resulting in him quietly leaving the company a few years later. He resurfaced as part of BCG initial roster in 2011 and is now rebuilding his career.</p><p> </p><p>

Japanese Phoenix is a masked Yodo Yoshizawa, a junior heavyweight from Tokyo who originally came through the Golden Canvas Grappling dojo but was not brought onto the main roster after graduation. After spending two years working the independent scene to gain experience, he realised that he needed something to help him stand out from the pack - to do this, he took the drastic step of contacting Phoenix I in Mexico and obtained permission to don the mask as the Eastern version of the famous character. The next chapter in his career started in 2010 when he was signed to be part of the initial EXODUS 2010 roster.</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:left;"><p><strong>Overview:</strong></p><p>
"Stone Cold Killer" Konrad Mäkinen is a young Swedish wrestler who turned pro in late 2011 and was picked up by UEW just a year later after impressing on the independent scene. A hyper-athletic 230lber, Mäkinen is an incredible bumper but is perhaps slightly too melodramatic in his selling. With a good look, a natural coolness, and a strong work ethic, Mäkinen could be a big name one day and has certainly become one of UEW's fastest rising young stars.</p><p> </p><p>

"The Intergalactic Fighter" Mercury is a bright young prospect from Japan, a protege of Emerald Angel via the World Level Wrestling dojo. The man in the black mask is a junior heavyweight style wrestler, mixing risky high flying moves with some underrated technical skills. Clearly a fan of the lucha libre style of wrestling, Mercury is noted for using a lot of rana variations in his matches, including a Suicide Rana (both men standing on the top rope) that he uses as his finisher, Mercury Rising. He joined EXODUS 2010 in late 2012 after turning pro, although he has stated that he plans to eventually join WLW as it is his dream to eventually team with Emerald Angel.</p><p> </p><p>

Orange Tsuchie is a young junior heavyweight who does a 'Shaolin Warrior Monk' gimmick to great effect. He first came to the public's attention when he joined EX2010 as part of their debut roster and he has swiftly become one of their fastest rising stars. In August 2013 he captured his first pro wrestling title, beating Pretty Okakura for the EXODUS All-Asia Junior Heavyweight belt; with his talent, it is likely that there will be many, many more titles in his future.</p><p> </p><p>

Tobei Sugimura is a lightweight wrestler from Japan. When he first broke into the business (via the PGHW dojo) he was extremely skinny, sported bright blue hair, and most of the time was used as little more than an enhancement talent. Eventually realising that he was getting nowhere in a hurry, Sugimura went on hiatus throughout 2010 in order to regroup - when he returned he had increased his muscle mass substantially, shaved off his ridiculous hair, and had swapped his gaudy yellow trunks for black martial arts pants and painted-on symbols on his face and body. The new look worked, as he found work with EXODUS 2010 almost immediately. In 2015 he added SAISHO to his list of employers, showing how in demand he is.</p><p> </p><p>

Japanese junior heavyweight Tsuneyo Yanagimoto is a talented youngster who has become one of EXODUS 2010's big names. Having learned his craft via the independent scene, May 2010 saw Yanagimoto join the promotion in time for their very first show. A very solid worker with an excellent grasp of psychology, Yanagimoto really broke through when he won - and then retained - the EXODUS Junior Heavyweight Grand Prix tournament title in 2012 and 2013, defeating the legendary junior wrestlers Burning EXILE and Super Joshuya in the respective finals. He is now widely tipped for future stardom, and will likely end up in a much bigger arena than EX2010 can provide.</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:left;"><p><strong>Overview:</strong></p><p>
Zeshin Makioka is a brawler who is best known for his lengthy run with WEXXV. Originally trained by WLW (although he left before officially graduating), when he first started out he was a skinny high flier with a shock of bright yellow hair. It was after he was forced to sit out the latter half of 2010 with an injury that he morphed into his current persona, returning with his hair back to its natural colour, a good 40lbs of bulk added to his frame, and a brawling style that was far more effective than his old 'spot monkey' style. He is now an integral part of WEXXV and probably one of the most improved wrestlers on the roster.</p><p> </p><p>
