Tigers Mask has become the unquestioned ace of Osaka
Pro-Wrestling. He debuted in 2001 with a baseball costume
similar to the Hanshin Tigers. Tigers does have an amateur background,
but doesn't use it very much. His team with Billyken Kid was a highlight
in late 2003, with the two having great matches against Kishiwada Gurentai.
He seemingly was ready for the Osaka Pro Title in 2005, but couldn't
quite get the job done in a couple of opportunities. Tigers
finally came through at Hurricane 2007, defeating BKK in the main
event to capture the belt. It was at that event where he unveiled
a new serious costume, showing off his upper body. He still wears
the baseball costume, but mostly on Holiday Paradise events. Since
his title capture, he's made successful defenses against the likes
of Kaientai Dojo's Daigoro Kashiwa and Black Buffalo. One of the most
popular wrestlers on the roster due to his look and wrestling ability,
he looks to remain champion for a long time.
