Kanjuro Matsuyama
Edit Profile渡辺 千春松山 勘十郎
Career
He has worked in Toryumon and Michinoku Pro Wrestling, but is more famous for his long career in Osaka Pro Wrestling. Along with Kikutaro and Stalker Ichikawa, he is considered one of the greatest three comedy wrestlers in Japan. He adopted the gimmick of Kanjyuro Matsuyama, a flamboyant, kumadori-wearing kabuki actor.
Matsuyama still competed in Mexico until 2006, teaming up with Milanito Collection a.t. and wrestling in low profile matches.
In 2005, however, he was sent to Chikara as a Toryumon representative, accompanying his master Skayde and trying to apply for the Young Lions Cup before being eliminated by Icarus. Upon his return to Toryumon, he left for Japan and never came back to Mexico.
He started working in Michinoku Pro Wrestling in October 2006, teaming with The Great Sasuke to compete in the Futaritabi Tag Team Tournament, although only to be eliminated at the first round by Osaka Pro Wrestling representatives Ebessan and Kuishinbo Kamen. Watanabe oscillated between MPW and OPW through 2007, until he settled down in Osaka Pro in 2007.
