DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2013”, 27/01/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Makoto Oishi & Akito Vs Tetsuya Endo & Daichi Kazato
2. Planning The New Year – 1 Vs 5 Handicap Match: Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Michael Nakazawa, Hoshitango, Gota Ihashi, Batten Tamagawa & DJ Nira
3. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Hiro Tsumaki Vs MIKAMI, Hikaru Sato & Masa Takanashi
4. Sanshiro Takagi & Yuzuki Aikawa Vs Danshoku Dino & Yoshiko
5. Kota Ibushi Vs Konosuke Takeshita
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Takao Soma & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Yuji Hino
7. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Extreme Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Isami Kodaka (c)

Both Kenny Omega and Isami Kodaka had plenty of praise to give each other when they met to promote their KO-D Openweight & DDT Extreme Double Title match. Omega has a lot of respect for Kodaka due to his spirit and technique. As the DDT Extreme Champion, Kodaka was allowed to choose the stipulation for the match. He was tempted to make it a hardcore match so both men could do whatever they wanted in the ring. He decided to leave it as a normal match so if he beats Omega, it will prove without a doubt that he deservedly won the KO-D Championship. Kenny compared the match up to something like Street Fighter X Tekken or Capcom Vs SNK. He is 99% sure he can beat Kodaka but there is a chance a lucky punch will beat him. Kodaka said he has that punch but he acquired it from dedicated training instead of relying on luck.

The Monster Army have threatened to sell the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles if they win them and use the money to buy tanks! Antonio Honda explained that after he and his teammates win the belts, he will go wrestle in Vietnam and become famous. That will somehow increase the value of the belts to the point where they can afford tanks. Honda also warned Keisuke Ishii that at 27 years old, Ishii is at the stage of life when a person has the worst luck. Many many musicians have died at the age of 27 and Ishii could join them. Ishii pointed out that Daisuke Sasaki and Yuji Hino are also 27 years old. Ishii’s 28th birthday will be around a week after the show and he promises he will still have the title when he celebrates it.

HARD HIT “YOUTH”, 24/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Yasu Kubota Vs FUMA
2. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Asaki Honda
3. Super Shooter Kamen Rider Vs NOSAWA Rongai
4. HARASHIMA Vs Hayato Mashita
5. Hikaru Sato Vs Yuji Sakuragi

Hikaru Sato announced five fights for the upcoming Hard Hit show. He is currently negotiating with different MMA fighters in order to sign two more fights for the card. Sato will fight Yuji Sakuragi in a rematch from their Pancrase bout from 26th January, 2006. Sakuragi won that fight in only 55 seconds of the first round. Sato is a far more experienced fighter now.

Union Hangover, Daimond Dust Card, Yuzupon’s Final Bounce

January 7, 2013

UNION “NEW YEAR UNION 2013”, 14/01/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Goro Jr. & El Hijo del Goro Vs Daichi Kazato & SAGAT
2. Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title: Hiroshi Fukuda (c) (w/ Rumi Kazama & Mame Endo) Vs Jun Kasai
3. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: A.YAZAWA Vs Seiya Morohashi Vs Ryuichi Sekine Vs Menso~re Oyaji
4. Cherry & Masako Takanashi Vs Mio Shirai & Yuko Miyamoto
5. Hiro Tsumaki Vs Kengo Ohka
6. Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Ken Ohka
7. DDT Extreme Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The Union Vs Drift feud got more heated in Yokohama yesterday with Isami Kodaka pinning Keisuke Ishii only to get laid out by the DDT Extreem Champion afterwards. They’ll meet again in Osaka on 12/1 when Union and Drift fight each other in the KO-D 6 Person Tag Team Title Tournament and then two days later Kodaka finally battles Ishii for the Extreme Title with Ishii still to decide what match it will be. The feud continues down the card with the new BJW Death Match Champion, Shuji Ishikawa teaming with Ken Ohka to face Drift’s Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma.

It is bad enough for Hiroshi Fukuda that he has to go one on one with Jun Kasai. Now he has to put the Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title on the line. At least things are beginning to look up for the guy when it comes to having managers. The last couple of months has seen Fukuda trying to win back Rumi Kazama’s trust while trying to handle the unwanted attention of Mame Endo. Fukuda’s profile has begun to rise and he is starting to turn him into a hot commodity in wrestling. So both Kazama and Endo have agreed to manage Fukuda together and both will accompany him for his match against Kasai.

DDT “DIAMOND DUST IN NAGOYA 2013”, 20/01/2013
Nagoya Telepia Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Michael Nakazawa Vs Tetsuya Endo Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Hoshitango Vs Makoto Oishi, Hikaru Sato & DJ Nira
3. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Gota Ihashi
4. Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma Vs MIKAMI & Masa Takanashi
5. Akito & Shigehiro Irie Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Kengo Takai
6. Danshoku Dino Vs Gabaiji-chan
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano (c) Vs Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega

HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano are two of the most accomplished tag team wrestlers in DDT. With 11 KO-D Tag Team Title reigns between them (6 for HARASHIMA, 5 for Urano), there are very few teams that can match up to them. The Golden Lovers may be one of those teams. Despite holding the KO-D Tag Team Titles only once together, Kota Ibushi and the current KO-D Openweight Champion Kenny Omega are one of the most popular tag teams to ever appear in DDT. So who better to get the first shot at the new champions?

No, not the Brahman Brothers!

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2013”, 27/01/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Yuzuki Aikawa Vs Danshoku Dino & Yoshiko
2. Kota Ibushi Vs Konosuke Takeshita
3. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Extreme Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii (c)

It’s possible that by the time this match comes around, Omega could be aiming to complete the KO-D Triple Crown by adding the DDT Extreme Title to both KO-D Championships.

The joshi queen of bouncy-bouncy, Yuzuki Aikawa has her final match in DDT teaming with one of her biggest supporters Sanshiro Takagi. Yoshiko comes along for the ride but will be disappointed she will not team with her beloved Kota Ibushi. Instead she gets to be with Danshoku Dino. I don’t think Dino is happy with the idea either.

Kana’s return to DDT will have her be in the ring with Michael Nakazawa again. The last time Kana and Nakazawa fought each other was during an Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title Battle Royal that ended with Kana shoving Nakazawa’s head into a toilet to win the belt.

Tank Nagai from K-DOJO is added to the Young Generation 6-Man Tag. Nagai was awarded with the Rookie of the Year prize in his home promotion this year.

DDT “OSAKA 24 ZONE TOUR ~ NISHI DISTRICT”, 12/01/2013
Osaka Nishi Kumin Center

UNION “NEW YEAR UNION 2013”, 14/01/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Jun Kasai
2. Cherry & Masako Takanashi Vs Mio Shirai & Yuko Miyamoto
3. DDT Extreme Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The main event has more than just the DDT Extreme Title on the line. The winner will also go on to main event DDT’s Korakuen Hall event later this month against Kenny Omega in a Double Title match.

DDT “DIAMOND DUST IN NAGOYA 2013”, 20/01/2013
Nagoya Telepia Hall

1. Akito & Shigehiro Irie Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Kengo Takai
2. Danshoku Dino Vs Gabaiji-chan

Danshoku Dino’s original opponent El Samurai is now unable to wrestle on this show. Luckily, DDT found a suitable replacement in the form of Gabiji-chan. This elderly gentleman is from K-DOJO and is as mobile as Jackson Florida from Dragon Gate. Plus chances are good that he doesn’t stink of tobacco smoke.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2013”, 27/01/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Extreme Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii (c)

The first DDT Korakuen main event of 2013 is a big one. Both the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Extreme Title will be on the line in a Double Title match. Kenny Omega’s first defence of the KO-D Title will be against either Keisuke Ishii or Isami Kodaka. The only person to hold both championships at the same time was Sanshiro Takagi in 2008.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2012” Results

December 23, 2012

kod-kennyomega

DDT “NEVER MIND 2012”, 23/12/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
2,012 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. Dark Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated DJ Nira with a School Boy (0:05).
1. Takao Soma & Shigehiro Irie defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Soma pinned Oishi with the Boma Ye (10:36).
2. 4 Way Tag Team Match: MIKAMI & Gorgeous Matsuno defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Michael Nakazawa, Hikaru Sato & Masa Takanashi and Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito when Matsuno pinned Nakazawa with the Cross Armed Goregeous Superstar (8:32).
3. HARASHIMA & Hiro Tsumaki defeated Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi when HARASHIMA pinned Ihashi with the Somato (15:02).
4. 3 Vs 4 Handicap Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima defeated Antonio Honda, Yuji Hino, Hoshitango & Daisuke Sasaki when Takagi pinned Honda with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (11:09).
5. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Way Match: Keisuke Ishii (c) defeated Yasu Urano and Isami Kodaka when Ishii pinned Urano with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (12:18).
*V1 for Keisuke Ishii
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega defeated El Generico (c) with the One-Winged Angel (24:01).
*El Generico fails in V3. Kenny Omega becomes the 44th KO-D Openweight Champion!

Kenny Omega did it! He finishes off an excellent year by becoming the man to dethrone El Generico and finally win the KO-D Openweight Title. Despite the two being friends away from the ring, there was little good manners seen in the match when Omega offered a handshake and Generico kicked him away. When the Croyt’s Wrath didn’t work for the challenger, he had to bring out the One-Winged Angel to put Generico away for good.

Keisuke Ishii passed a difficult challenge in his first defence of the DDT Extreme Title by defeating Yasu Urano and Keisuke Ishii in a 3 Way match. Ishii was able to win without doing the overdone finish of letting your opponents beat each other up, then go steal the pin. Instead, Ishii took out Kodaka with the Kneel Kick. Urano played possum and caught Ishii with a flash roll up but only got a two count. From there Ishii caught Urano and went into overkill with two Fisherman Busters, a High Kick and then the High Angle Double Arm DDT to win the match in dominating fashion.

The COZY Police Force always get their men. Antonio Honda and the rest of the Monster Army recently became thieves and stole wrestling gear from every single locker room they’ve stepped foot in. When they stole an important briefcase from Tsurumi Amon, Sanshiro Takagi called in Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Satoshi Kojima to help him catch the criminal. TenKoji became victims themselves when the Monster Army stole their signature nose tape and entrance gear before the match. The Monster Army all came down wearing one of the stolen goods to taunt their opponents. Justice soon came down and the COZY Police Force won the battle and literally arrested the Monster Army.

The briefcase was returned to Tsurumi Amon and he later revealed its contents. Amon announced that DDT now has a brand new championship, the KO-D 6 Person Tag Team Championship. The title will have its first champions crowned after a one day tournament between four teams in Osaka on 12/1.

Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Yukio Sakaguchi will take place on 12/1. Danshoku Dino will take on El Samurai on 20/1 in Nagoya.

Three Total Worlds, COZY Heaven Police Mobilised!

November 28, 2012

DDT “THREE TOTAL WORLDS”, 16/12/2012
Hakata Star Lanes

1. Michael Nakazawa Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Yuto Aijima, Azul Dragon & Yasu Urano Vs Makoto Oishi, Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi
3. Keisuke Ishii, Takao Soma & Shigehiro Irie Vs Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Batten Tamagawa
4. Maki Narumiya Vs Neko Nitta
5. Double Ring 5 Way Match: HARASHIMA Vs Kenny Omega Vs Sanshiro Takagi Vs Danshoku Dino Vs Hikaru Sato
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MIKAMI & Tatsumi Fujinami (c) Vs Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi

The Imanari Team of Kota Ibushi and his chubby doppelganger Gota Ihashi have been given a KO-D Tag Team Title shot after Ihashi requested for one at Korakuen Hall this past weekend. Ihashi looks ready to kick it up a notch and finally become a more established member of the DDT roster. The key might be for him to copy Ibushi even more. The colours and design of his ring gear is now identical to Ibushi’s.

A change in the card sees Antonio Honda taken out of the Double Ring match. Danshoku Dino and Hikaru Sato are both added in, making this a 5 Way Match. Honda is now in a Monster Army plus Batten Tamagawa (for America!) Vs Team Dream Futures bout.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2012”, 23/12/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi Vs HARASHIMA & Hiro Tsumaki
2. Sanshiro Takagi, Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima Vs Monster Army
3. KO-D Openweight Title: El Generico (c) Vs Kenny Omega

Two months after they teamed together over in America for PWG, El Generico and Kenny Omega will soon collide over in Japan for DDT. Omega has voiced his displeasure at seeing Generico quickly achieve what he could not, victories over Kota Ibushi and winning the KO-D Openweight Championship. Generico has chosen Omega as his next challenger so the Canadian now has a chance to win the title he craves so much.

Antonio Honda’s stealing spree in the DDT locker room has gotten out of hand. His bad habit of stealing wrestling gear to sell online and raise funds for the Monster Army has finally gotten him into trouble. The straw that broke the camel’s back is a suitcase with a mystery item inside that Honda stole from Tsurumi Amon. Sanshiro Takagi has hired two powerful men to go after the Monster Army for their crimes. The team is none other than Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima! Takagi and TenKoji have banded together to become the COZY Police Force and their goal is to stop Honda from stealing more stuff. Takagi also wants his 3:46 entrance vest back, which Honda stole and gave to Hoshitango. The unknown factor right now is who out of the Monster Army will fight the Police. Will it be all of them?

DDT “SNAKE WORLD REINCARNATION FINAL ~ POISON SAWADA JULIE FOREVER” Results

November 25, 2012

DDT “SNAKE WORLD REINCARNATION FINAL ~ POISON SAWADA JULIE FOREVER”, 25/11/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,779 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. Dark Match: Hoshitango defeated Taichi Kazato with the Midnight Buenos Aires (4:53).
1. Castle Siege Death Match – Final Chapter: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiri Irie & Takao Soma defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Makoto Oishi & Akito (5:39).
2. Yasu Urano, Hikaru Sato & Gorgeous Matsuno defeated Masa Takanashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yukio Sakaguchi when Sato submitted MatsunG with the Cross Armbreaker (8:41).
3. Danshoku Dino & DJ Nira defeated Michael Nakazawa & Hiroshi Fukuda when Nira pinned Fukuda after the Danshoku Driver (6:43).
4. Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Gota Ihashi defeated Yuji Hino, Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki when Ihashi pinned Honda with the Frog Splash (10:17).
5. KO-D Openweight Title: El Generico (c) defeated MIKAMI with the Brainbustaaaaahhhhh!!!!! (16:30).
*V2 for El Generico.
6. Poison Sawada JULIE Retirement Match: Hiro Tsumaki, Tetsuya Endo & Konosuke Takeshita defeated Poison Sawada JULIE, Takatoge & JARASHIMA when Takeshita pinned JULIE with the Touchdown (10:57).

Poison Sawada JULIE has retired from wrestling after 24 years of sleaze. Vipers, poison, the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title, snake magic, petrification, cloning, scorpions, feuds with karate dojos, time travel, a match against Masahiro Chono, J-Pop tribute acts and more. Poison Sawada had done it all in the Japanese wrestling scene. But his time has finally come to an end and efforts must be put in place for the new generation of wrestlers to shine, as highlighted by Sawada’s retirement match. Konosuke Takeshita is learning fast and now has two main event wins in a row.

El Generico passed his second defence of the KO-D Openweight Title against a very tough opponent. Generico praised MIKAMI for being a great challenger. The champion was given the chance to select his next opponent for 23rd December. That was when Kenny Omega entered the ring. He told Generico (in Japanese) he was upset with how Generico was able to quickly achieve goals that Omega couldn’t do during his 4 year stay in DDT. Generico was able to beat Kota Ibushi before Omega could. Generico was able to win the KO-D Title before Omega could. Generico simply replied by saying “I don’t speak Japanese.” Nevertheless, he chose Kenny Omega to be his next challenger.

It can now safely be said that Antonio Honda has a case of kleptomania. This time around, Honda stole leg guards from Kota Ibushi and Kenny Omega, items that would surely fetch a neat price online. The Golden Lovers were able to take their items back thanks to Gota Ihashi, who scored a big win and possibly discovered a suitable finisher in the form of the Frog Splash. Honda’s kleptomania flared up again after the match when he stole a briefcase from Tsurumi Amon. The briefcase contains something valuable that Amon was going to reveal to the DDT fans on 23/12. Honda then said he will sell the briefcase on Yahoo Auctions without knowing what is inside it.

Sanshiro Takagi then appeared to call Honda a thief. As punishment for his actions, the Monster Army would have to face Takagi plus a special tag team on 23/12. A video message then came up on the screen. It was Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima! They heard about Honda’s thievery and wanted to stop him. Tenzan’s message to Honda was “You’re under arrest, idiot!” and Kojima referred to themselves as the COZY Heaven Police Force. So it will be Sanshiro Takagi and TenKoji versus the Monster Army on 23/12!

For getting the pinfall on Match #3, DJ Nira earned the most valuable of prizes DDT can offer… an automatic Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title shot. Speaking of that belt, current champion Yoshiaki Fujiwara will return to DDT on 3rd January next year.

From what I have seen from translations and pictures posted online, the Castle Siege Death Match was sort of like a pro wrestling remake of DOTA/League Of Legends style video games. The Takagi Army and Team Drift each had a castle of stacked chairs to defend, one on the north stage of Korakuen Hall and one on the southside. There were also two smaller “towers” of stacked chairs inside the ring. Takagi hired a garrison of 15 people to defend his castle. Team Drift only hired one person, Toru Owashi! In a battle that saw a lot of chairs collapse, Team Drift were victorious in the end. Shigehiro Irie is said to have hurt his neck during the match. The injury happened when Irie gave Takagi the Vertical Drop Back Flip over on the north stage.

The next Hard Hit show has been announced to take place on 24th February in Shin-Kiba 1st RING. The show will have a youth theme to it.

DDT “DDT SPECIAL 2012” Results

October 21, 2012

DDT “DDT SPECIAL 2012”, 21/10/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,424 Fans – Super No Vacancy
DDT48 General Election Ranking In Parentheses

0. Dark Match: Yuji Hino (#26) defeated DJ Nira (#20) with a Rear Naked Choke (4:28).
0. Dark Match: Michael Nakazawa (#24) & Yoshihiko (#25) defeated Yukio Sakaguchi (#21) & Hiroshi Fukuda (#22) when Yoshihiko pinned Fukuda with a Small Package (7:04).
1. Masa Takanashi (#12) & Cherry (#15) defeated Makoto Oishi (#9) & Mio Shirai (#11) when Takanashi pinned Oishi with the Bacchus (7:41).
2. Hikaru Sato (#5) defeated Antonio Honda (#12) by KO (9:33).
3. Danshoku Dino (#2) defeated Konosuke Takeshita (#17) by KO with the Lip Lock (9:03).
4. Kenny Omega (#8) defeated Keisuke Ishii (#16) with the Croyt’s Wrath (12:56).
5. Hardcore Tag Team Match: Shigehiro Irie (#6) & Takao Soma (#18) defeated Isami Kodaka (#6) & Sanshiro Takagi (#18) when Irie pinned Kodaka with an Elbow Smash (12:44).
6. HARASHIMA (#3) defeated MIKAMI (#4) with the Somato (10:25).
7. KO-D Openweight Title: El Generico (c) defeated Kota Ibushi (#1) with an Inside Cradle (19:27).
*V1 for El Generico.

El Generico snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, countering Kota Ibushi’s Phoenix Splash into an Inside Cradle to successfully defend the KO-D Openweight Title. According to the DDT website, this is Generico’s first official defence of the title. His match with El Ligero for Revolution Pro Wrestling in England last week has not been recognised as a KO-D Title match. Ibushi was very disappointed to lose to Generico for the third time in a row this year. He is convinced that he will someday beat Generico but for now his focus will be developing his new stable with Kenny Omega and Gota Ihashi.

A 7 Way match to determine the next challenger will take place on 28/10. It will be HARASHIMA Vs Shigehiro Irie Vs Antonio Honda Vs Gota Ihashi Vs Isami Kodaka Vs MIKAMI Vs Hikaru Sato. Kenny Omega was supposed to be included in this match but he will be spending the rest of the year in Canada after that show, so Ihashi takes his spot instead.

After Shigehiro Irie pinned Isami Kodaka in the Hardcore Tag Team match, a singles bout between the two was set up for the 23/11 Union show.

Poison Sawada JULIE mentioned that there was no shortage in opponents for his retirement match. Some of his suggestions included a 60 minute Ironman Match against Ultraman Robin and a 60 minute Ironman Viper Death Match against one of his old alter egos. However, he decided to share the spotlight with younger generation. Sawada will team up with two mystery partners to face Hiro Tsumaki, Tetsuya Endo & Konosuke Takeshita for his retirement on 25/11.

Tetsuya Endo gave some advice to Konosuke Takeshita before his match with Danshoku Dino. Takeshita was told to protect his lips from Dino. He should have listened.

Antonio Honda spent his entire match Hikaru Sato targeting his opponent’s hair. Sato’s hairline is getting rather thin and Honda helped speed up the balding process. However, Sato got the last laugh when he instructed the Samurai TV cameraman to get a close up on Honda’s head, showing that Honda himself has a bald spot. Honda was so shocked at the revelation he lost consciousness and collapsed. The referee called for the bell and declared Sato the winner of the match.

Dick Togo was in attendance to receive the award for Best Indie Match of 2011 from Samurai TV. Togo never actually received the plaque due to his busy travelling schedule at the time. The award was for Togo’s match with Kota Ibushi from March 2011.

KUDO and Yasu Urano both appeared to update everyone on their injuries. KUDO said he is aiming to return in the new year but Yasu is still going through tests and does not know when he can return. They both decided to temporarily disband Ura-Shima-Kudo. However, Hiro Tsumaki interrupted and pleaded with them to reconsider their decision. He wants the unit to continue under the name ShimaHiro, since himself and HARASHIMA are the only active wrestlers in the group.

Yoshihiko wore a pumpkin mask for his match. It and Michael Nakazawa beat Yukio Sakaguchi & Hiroshi Fukuda when it countered Fukuda’s Perfect Plex into a Small Package.
