Profile: Toru Yano is one of the most decorated amaresu graduates to enter professional wrestling in some time. His list of accomplishments and top standings in competitions is large, a mile long. So it's natural that New Japan scouts went gunning for his services, and got them when he joined New Japan's amaresu section, the Toukon Club in April, 2001. He formally joined New Japan in January, 2002, and passed through severe training in that same year. He debuted in May, facing dojo classmate, Blue Wolf. Yano has been slowly climbing the ladder and improving as a wrestler since then. Early in 2004, he devoted to a heel route, resembling the legendary Umanosuke Ueda, dying his hair blond and wielding a bamboo stick. From April to July, 2004, Yano went on one of the longest DQ streaks in pro wrestling history, running wild against all kinds of opponents. After a learning excursion to America in early 2005, Yano returned as more of a threat, joining up with Chono's Black New Japan. In 2006, Yano formed a new "Heisei no Gokudo Combi" (Wicked Pair of Heisei) team with Tomohiro Ishii, the two becoming a very polished and effective combination. Though still young, Yano's background, size, and strength give him the tools to become a leading figure in New Japan.
