Ritsumeikan University.
He is better known for his work in Hustle and television appearances. While at college he picked up wrestling as a hobby and soon joined the Doshisha Professional Wrestling Alliance (DWA). Current New Japan Pro Wrestling member Hiroshi Tanahashi was also a participant of these events.
In 2006, Izubuchi debuted in the pro wrestling promotion Hustle, where Sumitani was working as his character Razor Ramon Hard Gay.
Izubuchi first appeared in Hustle auditions as a Hard Gay parody, before renaming himself Razor Ramon Real Gay. Unfortunately for RG, he was squashed by Suzuki and lost his place.
RG then became a regular wrestler for the Hustle Army, but he proved to be a comically weak contender, and spent his early years being brutally beaten by each opponent he faced. Despite his losses, his never-say-die attitude and charisma made him a favorite among Hustle fans.
He used a humorous wrestling style, wearing a red fundoshi under his tights (which he would display to perform his signature stink face) and selling exaggerately whenever he received an atomic drop.
He formed a tag team with Hard Gay, which resembled their old manzai duo. Finishing moves Dear Tanahashi (Diving splash) Death Drop (Diving seated senton to a standing opponent) - adopted from Razor Ramon Hard Gay RG Rana (Frankensteiner) Signature moves Fundoshi Clutch (Sunset flip transitioned into a jackknife, sometimes from the second rope) Japanese RG Clutch (Reverse prawn hold) Ojama Suplex (Bridging German suplex) Spinning heel kick Stinkface Nicknames "Hustle no Kami no Ko" (Japanese for "Hustle"s God Child") Entrance themes "Lifetime Respect" by Miki Dōzan All Japan Pro Wrestling F-1 Tag Team Championship (1 time) - with Manabu Soya1 1Championship not officially recognized by All Japan Pro Wrestling.
Along with his longtime friend Masaki "GiveUp" Sumitani, he won the tag team championship co-hosted by DWA and the Ritsumeikan Wrestling Alliance (RWA) of nearby Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto. Initially working as Hustle"s general manager along Hiroko Suzuki, Real Gay was challenged by Monster Army member Kenzo Suzuki, Hiroko"s husband, who stipulated that if he was the winner, she would be appointed the only General Motors. During their college years, Razor Ramon won the Fukuwarai award in the Imamiya Kids’ Ebisu Manzai Contest and gained experience on the stage through the audition live performance SABUKI at 2chome-gekijo, an Osaka comedy club opened by the Yoshimoto Kogyo comedy troupe at which many comedians from the Kansai area start their career. Razor Ramon made their television debut in 1999 and won the Judges Special Award in the American Broadcasting Company Owarai () Grand-Prix in 2000.
