Outlook - The powerhouse of the T2P class. Owashi uses a rougher style than his peers that includes mostly brawling and power moves. While that leaves him with some limitations, Owashi developed into a distinct character. He was a major player in Dragon Gate as the resident dominant heel and the big man in Aagan Iisou. After the group's departure from the company, Owashi found a niche in two smaller companies. He headed up his own stable and has developed his persona further and improved in the ring. Owashi is very good at his job and will seemingly always have a place in that role.
