Kanji Ichikawa
, better known by his stage name , is a Japanese professional wrestler who currently wrestles for Dragon Gate. Professional wrestling career A member of Último Dragón's Toryumon Dojo second class gifted with an extensive amateur wrestling background, Ichikawa is one of the many comedy characters whose purpose is more based on entertaining the fans than it is to actually win matches. Stalker's matches do not last very long, often within five to ten minutes tops. His offenses would have little to no effect on his opponents and they would simply side-step whenever he attempts any sort of high flying move. In some cases, just as Stalker is about to be hit by his opponent's finisher some one, usually his wife Namiko, would throw in the towel to stop the match. The opponent would still hit him with his finisher shortly after. He is very good friends with CIMA and Don Fuji, though the two have no problem beating him up many times to the delight of the fans. Stalker gained mass po ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
