[7.0] "The quintessential All Japan junior heavyweight not named Masa Fuchi. Kinda surprised he never got more than one title reign but, then again, he entered his prime at the moment when Shuji Kondo, KAI, Minoru Tanaka, Kaz Hayashi and Naomichi Marufuji were part of the division."

[6.0] "Hijikata/Toshizo is a solid veteran wrestler who kicks hard. That said he isnt anything noteworthy. Hes the kind of wrestler youd want on you roster to wrestle/train the newer wrestlers but probably not someone who you would be planning your main event scene around especially in current years considering his age he has probably peaked"
