Koji who had grown up as a fan of wrestling decided to get in the business and in 1991 he entered into the FMW Dojo where he would start his new life as a professional wrestler and live in the Dojo where he would train and test his body with physical activities to show his trainer Tarzan Goto that he had what it took to make in to the wrestling business. While living in the FMW Dojo, he would make friendships with Eiji Ezaki and Masashi Honda who were one year ahead of him in training.

Koji Nakagawa would wrestle his debut match on March 20, 1992 in Fukui against fellow FMW Dojo student Eiji Ezaki with Ezaki getting the win after making Nakagawa submit to a single leg crab.

Nakagawa would score his first pinfall over a wrestler that had started after him as he would manage to defeat Mr. Gannosuke on January 5, 1993 at Korakuen Hall in Gannosuke's return match from injury. Nakagawa would follow that up the next day at Korakuen Hall on January 6th by getting knocked out by boxer Katsuji Ueda. 

Nakagawa's next important match would take place on February 19, 1993 at the Minami Ashikaga Gym as he would take on his trainer Tarzan Goto for the first time in the opening match.

Nakagawa's first match would be against Eiji Ezaki on September 17, 1993 in Ibaraki with Nakagawa getting his first career pinfall over Ezaki after hitting him with a Moonsault. Nakagawa though would come down wrong on the Moonsault and end up injuring his shoulder. Nakagawa would need help after the match and his arm would end up needing to be put in a sling. Despite defeating Ezaki in the match, due to the injury, Ezaki would end up taking Nakagawa's place in the semi-finals of the tournament. 

Nakagawa would make his return from his injury on November 19, 1993 at Korakuen Hall losing to FMW rookie Masato Tanaka.

Nakagawa would team up with fellow FMW Dojo wrestlers Katsutoshi Niiyama, Mr. Gannosuke, and Masato Tanaka to represent FMW against the W*ING team of Hisakatsu Oya, Masaru Toi, Hideki Hosaka, and Dark Ranger on December 8, 1993 at the Tokyo International Trade Harumi Dome with Niiyama hitting an Exploder on Ranger to get the win for the FMW team.

The FMW undercard would be represented by Nakagawa, Katsutoshi Niiyama and Masato Tanaka as they would take on the W*ING team of Mitsuhiro Matsunaga, Yukihiro Kanemura, and Masashi Aoyagi on December 1, 1994 at the Hiroshima Green Arena with W*ING team being just too much for the younger FMW team as Kanemura would pin Tanaka for the W*ING victory.

The young FMW team would take on the W*ING team again on December 20, 1994 at the Nagoya Aiichi Gym, this time the FMW team would be represented by Nakagawa, Katsutoshi Niiyama, Masato Tanaka, and Gosaku Goshogawara against the W*ING team of Mitsuhiro Matsunaga, Yukihiro Kanemura, Hideki Hosaka, and Hido in a Single Elimination Match. Nakagawa would manage to eliminate Hido during the match and would be the last member of the FMW team going up against both Matsunaga and Kanemura which would just be too much for him as Matsunaga would end up putting away Nakagawa for another W*ING victory. 

Nakagawa would main event Korakuen Hall for the first time since very early in his career as he would be apart of the FMW team of Atsushi Onita, Tarzan Goto, Mr. Gannosuke, and Katsutoshi Niiyama, and Gosaku Goshogawara against the W*ING team of Mr. Pogo, The Gladiator, Hisakatsu Oya, Mitsuhiro Matsunaga, Yukihiro Kanemura, and Hideki Hosaka on January 6, 1995 in a Yen on a Pole Street Fight with the W*ING team once again defeating the FMW team after Kanemura would come down with the Yen.

Nakagawa would wrestle in the first post Onita match in FMW on May 17, 1995 as he would defeat Tetsuhiro Kuroda in the opening match in Saitama. FMW would have a completely different look to the promotion with Onita retiring and Tarzan Goto along with Mr. Gannosuke having left the promotion to join the IWA Japan promotion. Eiji Ezaki who had wrestled Nakagawa was now expected to become the leader of FMW as Hayabusa. Nakagawa had also reinvented himself wearing pink and black and wearing shades to match his favorite wrestler Bret Hart.

Nakagawa would then be entered into the FMW Young Spirit Tournament with the finalists of the tournament being placed into the FMW Grand Slam Tournament to challenge for the FMW Brass Knuckles Title. Nakagawa would start off slow by losing to Masato Tanaka in the first match of the round robin tournament on July 18, 1995 at Korakuen Hall. Nakagawa would then lose to Hido and although he would come back and defeat Tetsuhiro Kuroda, he would lose to W*ING Kanemura on July 23, 1995 which would pretty much eliminate him from the tournament. He would still manage to defeat Hideki Hosaka on July 28th but it would not be enough as he would finish with only four points, not enough to qualify for the finals. 

The FMW Independent Jr. Heavyweight Title held by Nakagawa would end up being vacated with Nakagawa having to challenge once again to win back his title.

. 

Nakagawa would then fly to the United States and make his only U.S. wrestling appearance in ECW on December 29, 1995 in Queens, New York as he would be defeated easily by getting choked by Taz in his one and only appearance for the promotion.

Nakagawa would then fly back to Japan and work one of the most brutal matches on January 10, 1996 in Chiba while teaming with Hayabusa & Masato Tanaka against Mitsuhiro Matsunaga, W*ING Kanemura, and Hido in a barbwire spider net Death Match. Nakagawa would be thrown into the barbwire several times, but it would be Hayabusa to take the brutal beating in the match after being tossed several times into the spider net barbwire, which would severe injuries to Hayabusa causing the ace of FMW to be out of action until May 5, 1996 for FMW's Kawasaki Stadium show.

The Kaientai DX team of TAKA Michinoku and Shoichi Funaki would then set their sights for Nakagawa's FMW Jr. Heavyweight Title. TAKA and Funaki would challenge Nakagawa and The Wild Shooter on February 23, 1996 at Korakuen Hall with Nakagawa getting the pinfall over TAKA. TAKA and Funaki would end up stealing the FMW Independent Jr. Heavyweight Title belt from Nakagawa afterwards with Nakagawa having to be held back by Gosaku Goshogawara and referee Ted Tanabe from going after them.

Nakagawa would then team up with Masato Tanaka to represent FMW with Hayabusa out of action in the main event of the March 15, 1996 show at the Sapporo Nakajima Sports Center against the returning Shoji Nakamaki and Headhunter A with Headhunter A getting the pinfall over Tanaka. Atsushi Onita would return to FMW for the first time since his retirement to chase off the new group consisting of IWA Puerto Rico wrestlers. 

Nakagawa would then defend his FMW Independent Jr. Heavyweight Title for the first time on April 21, 1996 at Korakuen Hall against Shoichi Funaki with Nakagawa getting the pinfall over Funaki to setup a match against TAKA Michinoku on May 5, 1996 at Kawasaki Stadium for the title. 

Nakagawa would put up his FMW Independent Jr. Heavyweight Title against TAKA Michinoku on May 5, 1996 at Kawasaki Stadium and although the match would turn out to be one of Nakagawa's best quality matches, he would end up losing his Jr. Heavyweight Title after TAKA Michinoku would hit the Michinoku Driver on Nakagawa for the pinfall and the title. Hayabusa would also take another absence after the show due to injuries he had suffered in his Exploding Ring Barbed wire Death Match loss to Terry Funk and Mr. Pogo. 

Nakagawa would also be promoted as one of the bookers for FMW as he was the group leader that would represent the FMW wrestlers backstage and along with Victor Quinones who represented the foreigners with head booker Go Ito who would help book the matches for FMW. 

Nakagawa would team up with Masato Tanaka and Tetsuhiro Kuroda on June 28, 1996 at Korakuen Hall to capture the FMW 6 Man Street Fight Tag Team Titles from Super Leather & The Headhunters, and after the celebration of winning the match, a mask less Hayabusa in shades and a hat would appear in the back to watch the FMW team celebrate their victory. Nakagawa would spot Hayabusa and go right after him and attack Hayabusa until he would have to be held back by Tanaka and Kuroda. Nakagawa very upset over Hayabusa leaving FMW for the time being and causing Tanaka, Kuroda, and himself having to defend FMW against the W*ING team as well as the IWA Puerto Rican team.

Nakagawa would challenge Hayabusa who would be returning to FMW for the first time since his May 5, 1996 Kawasaki match at the Shiodome on August 1, 1996. Nakagawa and Hayabusa would never click in the match, and the match would be considered a very big disappointment by all the fans as well both Hayabusa and Nakagawa as Hayabusa would get the victory after both wrestlers would knock each other and Hayabusa barely getting up to beat the 10 count for the KO victory.

Both Hayabusa and Koji Nakagawa would go to FMW owner Shoichi Arai and ask for a rematch to make up for the bad match on August 23, 1996 at Korakuen Hall. Nakagawa would score the biggest win of his career as he would cleanly defeat Hayabusa in what was considered a much better match than the first. 

Nakagawa would then wrestle in the most brutal match of his career on September 1, 1996 in Nagoya with Masato Tanaka & Tetsuhiro Kuroda against W*ING Kanemura, Hido, and Hideki Hosaka in a Exploding Barbwire Double Hell Death Match. Nakagawa would take one of the sickest bumps after being thrown into the Exploding Barbwire and then being kicked into the head and sent into the exploding barbwire on the floor. Nakagawa would lay there motionless for several minutes as it would turn into a handicap math as a result. Hayabusa would come out and watch as Nakagawa would begin to crawl back into the ring. Nakagawa would end up getting revenge by throwing Kanemura into the Exploding Barbed wire on the floor which would help Masato Tanaka hit a Powerbomb on Hideki Hosaka to get the win for FMW. Hayabusa would be there watching and be by Nakagawa's side after the match as the differences between the two would end as Nakagawa would accept Hayabusa back into the FMW team. 

Nakagawa would schedule himself to get the pinfall in the match which would not go over well with Go Ito as both Onita who was returning from retirement and Mr. Pogo was supposedly wrestling retiring were in the match. In the end, Nakagawa would be removed from the booking team for the most part as well as removed from the match and be replaced by friend Tetsuhiro Kuroda, and Masato Tanaka would then be booked to get the win in the match instead. Victor Quinones would also be removed for the most part from the booking team as well with Atsushi Onita along with Shoichi Arai would help book the matches with Go Ito. 

Nakagawa would then begin to feud with friend Katsutoshi Niiyama who had just turned heel and joined the new members of the Funk Masters of Wrestling in Mr. Gannosuke and Flying Kid Ichihara. Nakagawa would wrestle Katsutoshi Niiyama on April 29, 1997 at the Yokohama Arena. Nakagawa would get the win over Niiyama in a very good match. Afterwards, Niiyama would help up Nakagawa despite being a heel and the two would embrace afterwards. It would turn out to be Katsutoshi Niiyama's last match in FMW after a 7 year career in the promotion.

Nakagawa would work just undercard matches or as Hayabusa's tag partner for the most part of 1997 until winning the FMW Street Fight Tag Titles again on August 31, 1997 at Korakuen Hall with Hayabusa & Masato Tanaka against The Gladiator & Hisakatsu Oya & Mr. Gannosuke.

Nakagawa would then wrestle at FMW's biggest show of the year on September 28, 1997 at Kawasaki Stadium in a 13 man street fight Royal Rumble, but would not fair so well after be eliminated very early in the match. After the show, Atsushi Onita would form a new group called ZEN after the W*ING team finally came to an end. Onita along with Yukihiro Kanemura, Hido, Hideki Hosaka, and Tetsuhiro Kuroda were officially the new group to try and take over FMW.

The ZEN group would start by winning the FMW 6 Man Street Fight Tag Titles away from Hayabusa, Tanaka, and Nakagawa on October 14, 1997 at the Sapporo Nakajima Sports Center after Onita would pin Nakagawa.

There would then be talk of releasing Koji Nakagawa by FMW as Nakagawa had shown much frustration in where his character was with the promotion. But the two would come to terms and would turn into a storyline as on November 28, 1997 at Korakuen Hall, Nakagawa would talk with FMW owner Shoichi Arai in the ring and would talk about his frustrations with where he was being positioned on the card and that if it did not change soon, then he would leave FMW. Arai agreed that there would be a change for Nakagawa in FMW. But that promise was not lived up to by Arai. Nakagawa would wrestle Mr. Pogo # 2 and wrestle against Yoshinori Sasaki in his debut match on December 8, 1997. Nakagawa would continue to work in undercard matches infuriating him inside about his spot and being lied to.

It would all explode on December 13, 1997 after Hayabusa would cut a promo praising FMW at the end of a show. A furious Nakagawa would knee his friend in the gut with all the FMW wrestlers in the ring watching. Nakagawa would begin screaming at Hayabusa for praising the promotion after it had lied to him and kept him down on the card after promising there would be a difference. Nakagawa would announce that he was quitting FMW.

December 22, 1997 at Korakuen Hall, ZEN would suffer a huge loss as Onita would be pinned by Hayabusa in a War Games Match. Afterwards, Onita would be turned on by his ZEN members Mr. Gannosuke and Yukihiro Kanemura and left in the cage where he was tied up, and beaten by the two until Nakagawa in all black came into the ring and attacked Gannosuke and Kanemura with a chair until they would leave officially gone from ZEN. Nakagawa would get on the mic and ask Atsushi Onita to let him into the ZEN group after FMW had turned its back on him and lied to him. Atsushi Onita would accept Koji Nakagawa into the new ZEN group as ZEN had become a new face group due to the emergence of the group consisting of Mr. Gannosuke, Yukihiro Kanemura, and Hido.

Nakagawa would make his presence known right away at ZEN's first ever promoted show on January 7, 1998 show at Korakuen Hall, with the team of Atsushi Onita and Tetsuhiro Kuroda would defeat the team of Mr. Gannosuke, Yukihiro Kanemura, and Hido after Nakagawa would score the pinfall on Hido for the win. After the show, Mr. Gannosuke, Kanemura, and Hido along with Kodo Fuyuki and Jado would form the new heel group "Team No Respect" that would battle both the ZEN team and the FMW team.

Nakagawa along with Atsushi Onita and Tetsuhiro Kuroda would capture the FMW 6 Man Street Fights at ZEN's second promoted show on February 13, 1998 defeating the TNR team of Mr. Gannosuke, Yukihiro Kanemura, and Jado after Nakagawa would choke out the bloody Kanemura for the win. But afterwards, the TNR team would attack FMW referee Go Ito's leg for stopping the match and giving the titles to ZEN which would apparently leave Go Ito on crutches after the attack.

Nakagawa would then team with Tetsuhiro Kuroda would then challenge Mr. Gannosuke & Yukihiro Kanemura for the FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Titles on February 19, 1998 at Korakuen Hall with Go Ito in the ZEN team's corner. But as Nakagawa would be climbing the top turnbuckle, Go Ito would jump on the apron and smash his crutch over Nakagawa's back helping  Gannosuke get the easy pinfall over the injured Koji Nakagawa. Go Ito would become the newest member of Team No Respect.

Nakagawa would then be entered into the 8 man tournament for a shot at Gannosuke's Double Titles but would fail to advance past the first round on March 7, 1998 after losing to Yukihiro Kanemura by a rollup after Go Ito would interfere in the match. 

ZEN would then begin a losing streak, and on March 13, 1998 at the Sapporo Nakajima Sports Center, they would lose for the first time at a ZEN promoted show as himself, Hideki Hosaka, and Tetsuhiro Kuroda would be tied up and beaten by Team No Respect as the rest of members would attack Atsushi Onita before laying him out and Gannosuke getting the pinfall over Onita.

Nakagawa would then suffer an apparent shoulder injury while wrestling and would have to be bandaged up for every show, which would cause him to lose very quickly on April 30, 1998 in a Three Way Dance at the Yokohama Bunka Gym to Hisakatsu Oya and Chris Chetti after Oya would make him submit. 

Nakagawa's losing streak due to the injury would continue in May as he would be pinned for the FMW 6 Man Street Fight Tag Titles by the team of Kodo Fuyuki, Yukihiro Kanemura, and Hido after Hido would pin Nakagawa on May 5, 1998 in Wakayama. After the show, a depressed Onita by losing on May 5th would announce to Nakagawa, Kuroda, The Gladiator, and Hosaka that he was officially ending ZEN.

Koji Nakagawa still with a bandaged arm would team with Atsushi Onita to challenge Kodo Fuyuki and Yukihiro Kanemura for the FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Titles on May 31, 1998 and after it seemed like Onita was about to defeat Fuyuki. Go Ito with a crutch would try to interfere in the match, but Nakagawa would grab the crutch from him, and then would shock the crowd by smashing the crutch over Onita's back just like Go Ito had done to him three months earlier as Onita was trying to Powerbomb Fuyuki. Nakagawa would pull of the bandage showing that it was a fake injury the entire time and would help Fuyuki and Kanemura defeat the beaten down Atsushi Onita. Go Ito would get on the mic and proclaim Koji Nakagawa, "Mr. Double Cross" and the newest member of Team No Respect.

Team No Respect would then reveal Nakagawa as their mystery partner in a match with Kodo Fuyuki and Yukihiro Kanemura for the vacant FMW 6 Man Street Fight Tag Titles against Hayabusa, Masato Tanaka, and Hisakatsu Oya with Nakagawa scoring the pin over Tanaka on June 1, 1998 in Osaka. Only one day after joining Team No Respect, Nakagawa was once again a FMW 6 Man Street Fight Champion.

June 28, 1998 at theTokyo South Owasa Multipurpose Plaza, Koji Nakagawa along with Kodo Fuyuki and Yukihiro Kanemura to defend their FMW 6 Man Street Fight Tag Team Titles against Hayabusa, Hisakatsu Oya, and Ricky Fuji. Nakagawa would bring out his fork again as he would carve Ricky Fuji's forehead during the match leaving him a bloody mess. Fuyuki would eventually end up getting the pinfall over Ricky after hitting him with a Lariat for the successful title defense for Team No Respect. 

Nakagawa along with fellow Team No Respect members Kodo Fuyuki, Jado, and Gedo would team in a Single Elimination match against the FMW team of Hayabusa, Daisuke Ikeda, Hisakatsu Oya, and Ricky Fuji on July 10, 1998 at Korakuen Hall. During the match, Hayabusa would be unmasked, and Nakagawa would being to use his now signature fork in cutting and bloodying Hayabusa's forehead until he was a bloody mess. Hayabusa who would be the only one left would finally be able to grab the fork away from Nakagawa, but Nakagawa would spit mist in Hayabusa's face and roll him up for the pinfall and the win for Team No Respect to set up a feud between Nakagawa and FMW Double Titles Champion Hayabusa.

Hayabusa who was extremely upset over the loss to Nakagawa at Korakuen, would announce that he was not going to be the same Hayabusa when challenging Nakagawa in their next match. 

Nakagawa would challenge The Darkside of Hayabusa on August 22, 1998 at a Tokyo TV Studio. Hayabusa would be dressed differently from his normal entire, showing more of a chaotic side. The match though again would be considered a let down as there were many mess up spots like their match two years at Shiodome, as well as a screw job finish as Hayabusa was going to the top turnbuckle to finish Nakagawa off. The light would turn off, and Mr. Gannosuke in Jinsei Shinzaki's ring attire would Powerbomb Hayabusa laying him out for when the lights were turned on, Nakagawa would roll over and get the pinfall victory on The Darkside of Hayabusa to set up Nakagawa for a future match with Hayabusa for the FMW Double Titles.

Nakagawa would first go through former FMW and ZEN friend Tetsuhiro Kuroda on September 8, 1998 at Korakuen Hall, and defeat Kuroda with a jackknife roll up to set up his match with Hayabusa for the FMW Double Titles at the next Korakuen Hall show.

Nakagawa would finally get his shot at a singles main event at Korakuen Hall for the FMW Double Titles on October 6, 1998. Again, their Korakuen match would turn out to be much better than their previous one, as Nakagawa would attempt to use his fork on Hayabusa, but in the end, it would get knocked away and Hayabusa would finally defeat Koji Nakagawa with a Falcon Arrow, ending Nakagawa's one big chance.

Nakagawa would then challenge Hisakatsu Oya a the Yokohama Bunka Gym on November 20, 1998 in some what of a rematch of their last encounter at the Yokohama Bunka Gym. Nakagawa would defeat Oya with a jack knife rollup in the undercard match, but it would turn to be really the last push of Nakagawa as the "Mr. Double Cross" character.

Koji Nakagawa would then be entered into the 16 man single elimination tournament for a shot at Kodo Fuyuki's newly won Double Titles on March 19th at the Sapporo Nakajima Sports Center. 

Nakagawa's first round opponent would be Mr. Gannosuke who had just returned to FMW after a knee injury had kept him out for most the year on December 12, 1998 at Korakuen Hall. Nakagawa would attempt using his fork by cutting open Gannosuke as well as putting him in the Sharpshooter, but Gannosuke would counter and end up putting into a submission which Nakagawa would quickly give up, ending his tournament hopes in the first round.

In what defiantly would show the sign that FMW had given up on Nakagawa's main push, he would take on the returning Masato Tanaka on January 5, 1999 at Korakuen Hall. It would only take Tanaka 33 seconds to get the pin on Nakagawa, debuting his new finisher "The Diamond Dust" for the victory.

Nakagawa would then begin to tag team with fellow Team No Respect member Gedo on a permanent basis with Gedo's usual tag partner Jado out of action with an injury. Nakagawa and Gedo's first real big match as a tag team would come on March 19, 1999 at the Sapporo Nakajima Sports Center against the All Japan team of Masa Fuchi & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, and in the end it would be Nakagawa that would be pinned by Kikuchi in the match. 

Nakagawa & Gedo would then be entered into the FMW Round Robin Tag Team Tournament with the winners of the tournament, winning the FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Titles.

Nakagawa & Gedo would start off slow and be defeated by the favorites of the Tournament, Hayabusa & Kodo Fuyuki on March 20, 1999 in Miyagi after Hayabusa would pin Gedo. Nakagawa & Gedo would get their first win over the team of Super Leather & Hideki Hosaka on March 26, 1999 in Mie, after Nakagawa would get the pin over former FMW Brass Knuckles Champion Super Leather. But they would fall and look to be out of it, after losing to the team of Mr. Gannosuke & Hisakatsu Oya on March 28, 1999 in Shiga after Oya would pin Nakagawa. Nakagawa & Gedo would seem to be out of the Tournament, but on April 20, 1999 at Korakuen Hall, they would score the upset of the Tournament by defeating the team of Masato Tanaka & Tetsuhiro Kuroda who were heavy favorites after Nakagawa would hit a jack knife roll up on Kuroda for the win. 

After their major upset, they would score a pinfall over the team of Armageddon who would later become 3 Minute Warning in the WWE after Gedo would pin Armageddon # 2 with a Frog Splash to keep their hopes in the Tournament alive. Nakagawa & Gedo would then have to face two teams on the same day, and win both matches for them to be able to make a playoff match against Masato Tanaka & Tetsuhiro Kuroda to make it to the finals of the Tournament.

Nakagawa & Gedo would start off by defeating fellow Team No Respect members Yukihiro Kanemura & Hido on April 30, 1999 with Gedo pinning Hido. They would then face the Battlarts' team of Daisuke Ikeda and Mohammed Yone and defeat them after Nakagawa would roll up Yone for the win and the chance to wrestle in a playoff match to make it to the finals of the Tournament.

Before facing Tanaka & Kuroda in the play off match, Nakagawa would wrestle his only All Japan match and make his Tokyo Dome debut on May 2, 1999 along with Yukihiro Kanemura & Gedo taking on the All Japan team of Masa Fuchi, Johnny Smith, and Tamon Honda which the All Japan team would win after Honda would score the pinfall over Gedo.

Nakagawa & Gedo would then face Masato Tanaka & Tetsuhiro Kuroda on May 3, 1999 in Nagoya in the playoff to see who would face Hayabusa & Kodo Fuyuki in the finals. Nakagawa & Gedo would not lost last though, as they would be destroyed by Tanaka & Kuroda and Kuroda would pin Gedo in just over two minutes to eliminate Nakagawa & Gedo.
