Psycho

Psycho is a Japanese professional wrestler. His real name has not been officially documented, a tradition in Mexican Lucha Libre where masked wrestler's real names often are not a matter of public record. He made his debut in 2001 and has worked as the second incarnation of and as , but achieved most success as Psycho (stylized in all capital letters). He has wrestled mainly in Kaientai Dojo and All Japan Pro Wrestling, and currently works as a freelance wrestler. Career Kaientai Dojo (2001–2012) Psycho debuted in Kaientai Dojo in 2002. Initially a tweener, his gimmick was that of a deranged wrestler characterized for wearing trashy clothes, sporting a shabby mohawk haircut and talking in an incomprehensible babble. Receiving a significant push from the start, Psycho formed a steady intergender tag team with Ofune and got into a feud with another female wrestler, Apple Miyuki, whom Psycho continually harassed in multiple ways during their matches. Still, Psycho didn't challenged for a title or a tournament until 2003, when he and Ryota Chikuzen took part in a tournament for the UWA/UWF Intercontinental Tag Team Championship, but being eliminated in the second round by Minoru Fujita and Teppei Ishizaka. From this point onwards, Psycho would challenge for the UWA World Middleweight Championship against Yasu Urano and Super-X, failing at both attempts. In 2005, Psycho appeared in multiple major promotions as a K-Dojo representative. The first of these was Dragon Gate, where he participated in the Open the Brave Gate Championship tournament, but despite he eliminated Naoki Tanizaki in the first round, he was beaten by Yossino at the second. He next appeared along with trainer Taka Michinoku in Pro Wrestling Noah's Differ Cup 5, losing to Ikuto Hidaka and Minoru Fujita in the first round, and then in Pro Wrestling Zero1, in whose Tenkaichi Tournament he took part as well, scoring wins over Alex Shelley and Osamu Namiguchi. Finally, he worked as well for All Japan Pro Wrestling, teaming up with Michinoku again to compete unsuccessfully in a tournament for the All Asia Tag Team Championship. He remained in AJPW for a time, forming a tag team with comedy wrestler Kikutaro and becoming an unofficial member of Taka's faction RO&D. Psycho's last apparition was an AJPW World Junior Heavyweight Championship shot against Taka, which he lost. Also, Psycho appeared in Hustle as Flying Vampire #16, a minor member of the Takada Monster Army.
