Biography: Yosuken grew up with childhood friend Otsuo Kayusa with the day of one day becoming pro-wrestlers. With the help of superp amateur wrestling skills, the two achieved their goal in 2002. Yosuken shared a friendly rivalry with Kayusa through out their training, which led to both men having two singles encounters that year. After their second match, the two officially formed what would become FURY's longstanding #1 team, "STRONG RIDERS". With Kayusa, Yosuken would capture the tag team titles in early 2003, and hold them for well over a year. During late 2004, Yosuken began to be plagued with back injuries. While they were initially not problematic; they would eventually develop into a serious condition that would keep Yosuken out of the ring from 5/31/2005 to 10/25/2007. Yosuken has suffered from some ring rust since returning, but aims to return to his old form.
