Akira Tozawa looks like he was born to be a wrestler. Everything from the way he carries himself in the ring to the way he seamlessly moves around it just screams Superstar. Although he isn’t that well known around the world, he’s a star back in his native Japan where he wrestles for Dragon Gate, one of the most renowned promotions in Japan.

Tozawa’s offence ranges from a range of stiff chops and strikes to his specialty, a huge variety of German suplexes ranging from the traditional German suplex, the deadlift German suplex to his trademark package German suplex and a host of others.
