[8.0] "Completely underrated junior weight shooter. Worked well as a scrappy underdog, dickhead shooter or hungry up and comer. Great in legit shoots, worked shoots and classical resu!"

[9.0] "In the 90s he was Legit one of the best Shoot-Boxer. Then he went in PW where he had one of the Best rookie year ever ? and easily became best Shooter of the early 2000s. In the middle of Osaka Pro stint He had 2 MMA wins in RINGS and a Draw in DEEP (against Royler Gracie) that got him some recognition. New Japan noticed him and decided to work with his home promotion, elevating his name value further more. I must have watched about 20 matches of his by now, and I can honestly say that He's in my Top 5 fav wrestlers of all times. Always putting a lot of effort in his strikes, grappling, selling, mic-work and was even willing to do a bit of Lucha Libre. Apparently in 2007, he had knee issues that forced him to retire. A real shame."

[8.0] "Severely underrated with a hell of a debut year in Osaka Pro, proving he could work both as the shooter dick or the babyface in peril. His feud with Hoshikawa and his "shoot style" match against Super Delphin were both highlights, along with his NJPW match against Minoru Tanaka and his tag work with Jushin Liger. It's a shame he had such a short career."
