Outlook - TARU was one of the driving forces behind getting Toryumon going in the late 90s. He was an indy wrestler with the look and charisma to become something special for the developing boys to work with. He was primarily the mouthpiece and manager of Crazy Max. He was capable in the ring, which is good, but he was a jack-of-all-trades. After the company transformed into Dragon Gate, TARU was having to fight with youngster for his spot along with his original Toryumon peers. He moved on to join a weakened All Japan and quickly established himself there as a brash heel. TARU is still a talented worker, but knows how to get by doing less, which ultimately means more. He is in his early 40s, so his peak years as a worker are past him, but TARU can still draw heat and that is what the new All Japan needs.
