Outlook - Fumiyuki Hashimoto is a junior brawler who looked like a decent prospect for the Toryumon groups. He was saddled with a MiniSUWA gimmick as part of the Mini Crazy MAX. While he was good, being compared to arguably the best Toryumon product did him no favors in getting over on his own merits. He eventually broke away from that and so did his peers and he became "Kagetora." Based on a character from Japan's Warring States period, Kagetora has gained some color and is improving in the ring. He has recently stepped up with the Sato twins and Nobutaka Moribe in a stable named Stoned. Kagetora needs to find the right niche for himself and work on fitting that role rather than floating around with a not-so-unique style alongside spectacular peers with perhaps greater potential.
