Outlook - Sort of DDT's answer to the shooter craze, Tomohiko Hashimoto works a hybrid style of Judo and pro-wrestling. While it sounds interesting and possibly exciting, it isn't really. Hashimoto is mainly a midcard guy, who sort of bounces between comedy and DDT's semi-serious side, so it's hard to say he is a straight worker. I suspect he, like many of his midcard opposition, will remain there and not doing much. His image and passable ringwork however might make him a better favorite to leave than many. If Hashimoto beefed up some and added some color to his game, he would be the kind of unlikely star that Zero-One would unexplainably push. He has improved and has the youth and potential to become a star outside of DDT.
