, he became known as a troublemaker backstage, and didn't seem to catch on with fans. In 2007, he started to gain weight, and eventually reached 102 kilograms. He became a charming fat man, wearing silver tights and boots instead of the gakuran pants worn by the rest of the Tozawa-juku unit, and it resulted in a big increase of his popularity. When it surpassed Tozawa's, it caused Tozawa to begin a similar weight gain program. They began to team together as the Metabolic Brothers within Tozawa-juku, but the team found no success. Ono was derailed by injuries, and the gimmick, despite having worked well for Ono previously, did not get over with the fans. On July 11, 2008, the team came to an end when Tozawa announced his intentions to go on a diet. He asked Ono to lose weight as well, but Ono refused and vowed to balloon up to 170 kilograms.

Kongcito was unmasked, beaten up, and kicked out of the group. His last appearance in wrestling was on the December 22, 2008 NEX card. Wrestling under his old Katsuo gimmick, he lost to m.c.KZ. This makes him the first wrestler trained at the Dragon Gate dojo to leave the promotion.
