Outlook - No matter what first name you know him as, Kintaro Kanemura has had an amazing career on the indy scene, where a guy like him thrives. Kanemura may have bad genetics, but he's a hard worker and has gained a cult following as a result. Gaining fame in the short-lived, yet romanticized W*ing promotion of the early 90s, Kanemura used that affiliation to make a career on the death match circuit. FMW was where he stayed the longest, but he's tried his hand at others. After the Onita-era in FMW, Hayabusa may have been the star, but it was W*ing Kanemura and Masato Tanaka stealing the shows more often than not. The rivalry is among not only one of the best feuds FMW ever saw, but death match indy groups as a whole. After FMW's death, Kanemura became known as the "Boss of the Indies" working everywhere from the smallest indies such as EAGLE Pro and DDT to big feuds in ZERO1-MAX and HUSTLE. Kanemura is plagued with injuries, but is an entertaining star and can still do his thing very effectively.
