Biography: During his upbringing in the Fujita Fury Dojo, Go struggled to keep up with top stars of the class, including Hiroaki Nakata, Tetsuhisa Nakagawa, and Toshinari Kubota. However, the one attribute Go had over them was his size. At 193cm, Go towered over everyone in the Dojo system, including the head instructor himself! However, Go did not take to the fundamentals of pro-wrestling as quickly as some. The one saving grace for Go was his unique charm, and ability to entertain a room full of people. With his unique sense of humor, Go heightened his strengths and hid his weaknesses by developing the "Hisai Tomagotchi" character. Being a fan of the old style Kabuki plays, Go patterned the Hisai costume after them. As Hisai Tomagotchi, Go was one of FURY's most popular attractions. Whether it was little children, teenagers or adults, Hisai Tomagotchi was a clear favorite, and made frequent appearances on many Japanese Variety Shows. However after three years or portraying the Hisai Tomagotchi character, Go revealed himself for the first time. Inspired by his best friend, Taku Okamoto, Go announced that he was sealing the Hisai Tomagotchi character in order to become a serious wrestler for the first time in his career.
