Outlook - Naoki Numazawa was a junior who came up through BJW's respectable junior division and was a sound undercard edition to the company. He picked up a lot working the undercards, namely opposite Shadow WX, who is one of the best hands on the death match circuit. He graduated out of the rookie role, shaved his head and joined Daikokubo Benkei's Skinhead stable. However, it was his "Dark Angel" persona that took Jaki Numazawa into a top spot in BJW. He became increasingly bizarre looking and more involved in the death matches. When he was put in a spot to become a player, Jaki stepped up his game is now one of Big Japan's top stars. He is very similar to Jun Kasai in that he seems like he is genuinely a lunatic. He has a more sinister edge to his persona than Kasai with his chainsaw-wielding and evil overtones. Numazawa may not be as good as the top stars from the "Death Match Revolution" years, but he is a distinct personality and has definitely gotten himself over as a premier death match wrestler in the past year.
