[8.0] "Maybe, we have to say that being in a tag team with Fujinami could have been the best but worst booking decision for someone like Kengo Kimura. Sure Fujinami's talent kinda boosted e combined greatly with Kengo's flashy style, despite his phsyque, not properly a junior one. Kengo always suffered a massive overshadowing from his more prominent contemporaries, Maeda, Choshu and Fujinami himself. But anyone who witnessed to Kengo's matches, can be sure of one thing, he could go like few others in his years. Oh and the Inazuma leg lariat is a quite underrated finisher, a deadly running knee strike was there way before that KENTA and Bryan Danielson popularized it!"

[8.0] "Kimura will always be seen as Fujinami's best partner or Heisei Ishigun's co-leader with Koshinaka, but it's more than that. Before Sayama and Maeda invented numerous varieties of running kicks, Kimura and his Inazuma Leg Lariat were the true hot stuff. Even though being a former IWGP Tag Champion is his best credit, Kimura was some of the chosen ones that potentially could square up for the main belt in the 80's. In general, he was always someone with a presence paired up with Inoki's when the pace of the matches got quick and flashy."
