A veteran of multiple promotions, Taiji Ishimori has brought his speed, athleticism and ruthless mentality to earn success everywhere he goes. A member of BULLET CLUB since 2018, Ishimori has become a key player in the group.
With alaundry list of titles already under his belt in Pro-Wrestling NOAH, Ishimori’s first NJPW championship was the NEVER Openweight 6-Man tag title, which he won alongside G.o.D. in August 2018. The next January he won his first IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship from KUSHIDA, and claimed the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships with El Phantasmo the same year, before becoming IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion for the second time in August 2020.
That title was earned after defeating an injured Hiromu Takahashi in Jingu Stadium, but Hiromu was determined to win the title back from the Bone Soldier at Wrestle Kingdom 15. Falling to Time Bomb II, Ishimori readjusted, and with ELP, laid down a challenge to IWGP Jr. Tag Team Champions El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru the next night at New Year Dash. Singles or tag, Ishimori is never far from a championship conversation.
