Outlook - Daigoro Kashiwa is Kaientai Dojo's resident hard-headed, quasi-comedy midcarder of the mold of numerous Japanese wrestlers before him. He is brawling type who is not terribly dynamic, but he has a certain charm that is fitting for indy midcarders. Kashiwa had a bold personality that made him an early star, but eventually he was relegated to comedy. After bouncing around, he formed a second stable that again combined rudo-isms and comedy to freshen up the K-Dojo midcard. Daigoro Kashiwa has the character to be something special, but his mediocrity in the ring prevents him from moving out of comedy matches. He has had some opportunities to take his game to another level, but he has not been entirely successful.
