Koji Nakagawa was born June 26, 1969 in Tokyo, Japan.

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, Masashi Honda, Masato Tanaka, and Katsutoshi Niiyama, as well as many other future FMW wrestlers.

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

May 31, 1992 at Korakuen Hall, Nakagawa would main event his first Korakuen Hall show very early in his career as he would team up with Atsushi Onita to take on the team of Sambo Asako and Mr. Gannosuke with Onita and Nakagawa getting the win after Onita would pin Gannosuke with a Thunder Fire Powerbomb to end the show.

September 19, 1992 at the Yokohama Stadium, it would be Nakagawa's first ever Stadium show and it would be in front of 30,000 fans with Nakagawa teaming up with Eiji Ezaki to take on the team of Sudden Impact consisting of Chris Jericho & Kevin Faule with Sudden Impact getting the win after Jericho would get the pinfall over Ezaki.

May 5, 1993 at Kawasaki Stadium, Nakagawa would then face Eiji Ezaki once again, this time in front of over 40,000 fans for his debut at Kawasaki Stadium in the opening match. Ezaki would once again defeat Nakagawa after hitting a Moonsault in a good match between the two.

Nakagawa would continue to work openers including getting his first big win in a Stadium show on August 22, 1993 in Osaka against Chiaki Matsuyama. He would also accompany Atsushi Onita along with other FMW trainees to the ring for his matches in the main event. 

Nakagawa would continue to work undercard matches with wrestlers of the likes of Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Katsutoshi Niiyama, Gosaku Goshogawara, Masato Tanaka, and Hayato Nanjyo. But he would also get to work higher up in the card when he would team with Tarzan Goto.

Nakagawa would team with the giant Judge Dread to defeat Ryo Myoke & Douktare in a undercard match at the biggest FMW show ever on May 5, 1995 at Kawasaki Stadium in front of over 58,000 fans for Atsushi Onita's Retirement match.

Nakagawa would win his first ever title in the Independent Jr. Heavyweight Championship against Ricky Fuji on November 20, 1995. Nakagawa would then get to headline his first ever show for FMW on December 21, 1995 at the Yokohama Bunka Gym where he would team with Hayabusa & The Great Sasuke against Super Delfin, Ricky Fuji, and TAKA Michinoku in a highflying 6 man match, which Hayabusa would get the win for his team after hitting a Phoenix Splash on Ricky for the win. 

Nakagawa would then fly to the United States and make his only U.S. wrestling appearance with ECW and on December 29, 1995, he would be used to be beaten easily by Taz in Queens, New York.  

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 until May 5, 1996. 

Nakagawa would score the pinfall over TAKA Michinoku in a tag match on February 23, 1996 at Korakuen Hall and would then defend his Independent Jr. Heavyweight Title against TAKA on May 5, 1996 at Kawasaki Stadium. Although it would turn out to be one of Nakagawa's first great matches, he would not be able to defeat TAKA Michinoku once again in front of the 33,321 fans as TAKA would capture the FMW Independent Jr. Heavyweight Title by pinning Nakagawa with the Michinoku Driver.

After the show, Hayabusa would once again be barred with injuries and take a leave of absence from FMW in which he would be tempted to leave FMW for New Japan Pro-Wrestling. 

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. 

On June 28, 1996 at Korakuen Hall, Nakagawa along with Masato Tanaka & Tetsuhiro Kuroda would capture the FMW 6 Man Street Fight Tag Team Titles against 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 on. 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 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 Barbwire on the floor which would help Masato Tanaka hit a Powerbomb on Hideki Hosaka to get the win for FMW.

Nakagawa would patch his differences up with Hayabusa and spend the rest of 1996 in undercard matches while on the creative side of FMW with Go Ito and Victor Quinones. But a creative conflict with Go Ito would happen as Nakagawa was booked along with Atsushi Onita, Mr. Pogo, and Masato Tanaka against Terry Funk, Hisakatsu Oya, and The Headhunters. 

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, but it would be Niiyama's last FMW match after Niiyama would break kayfabe and hug Nakagawa after the match for such a good match the two put on together.

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 & Muhammed 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. Tanaka & Kuroda would go on to defeat Hayabusa & Kodo Fuyuki to win the Tournament and the FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Titles.

Nakagawa would then face All Japan's Tsuyoshi Kikuchi in a singles match on May 5, 1999 at the Yokohama Bunka Gym. Kikuchi would win the match after reversing Nakagawa's jack knife roll up for the win. Despite Nakagawa being a heel, the crowd would begin to show their anger towards the finish that Nakagawa should have won the match and that All Japan was abusing their power over FMW in their talent exchanging. FMW would end their relationship with All Japan as a result.

Nakagawa & Gedo would continue to team up, despite Jado returning to action. They would be granted the first shot at Tanaka & Kuroda's FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Titles on June 13, 1999 in Okayama for scoring their upset win over them in the Tournament. This time, during the match. Nakagawa would grab the belt and smash it over Kuroda's head and get the pin on Kuroda as a result to become the new FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Champions.

Nakagawa & Gedo would quickly defend their newly won Tag Titles against the team of Sabu & Super Leather. Nakagawa & Gedo would successfully defend their Titles after Gedo would pin Super Leather with a Gedo Clutch. Soon afterwards, the FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Titles would be changed into the WEW Tag Team Titles and Nakagawa & Gedo would officially be declared the first WEW Tag Team Champions.

They would defeat their fellow Team No Respect team mates of Mr. Gannosuke & Yukihiro Kanemura & Jado after Gedo would hit the Frog Splash on Jado for the win which would set up Nakagawa's team as getting the chance to wrestle in the Finals of the Tournament.

Nakagawa along with Kodo Fuyuki & Gedo would end up facing the team of Hayabusa & Masato Tanaka & Tetsuhiro Kuroda once again on July 31, 1999 at Korakuen Hall. The Hayabusa team had already wrestled two matches prior on the show, and after interference, Fuyuki would end up pinning Hayabusa after a Charging Lariat to score the pin on Hayabusa to become the first ever WEW 6 Man Tag Team Champions. Nakagawa was now both apart of the WEW Tag Team Champions, as well as part of the WEW 6 Man Tag Team Champions.

Ricky Fuji would end up climbing the ladder and grabbing the Title belts for the win in the much better than expected match.

But Nakagawa & Jado & Gedo would get a rematch, and on December 11, 1999, they would defeat the team of Ricky Fuji & Jado & Gedo after Jado would Chocoball with a lariat for the win. 

Koji Nakagawa & Gedo would then team up once again and take part in a 4 way Tag Team Match on February 25, 2000 at Korakuen Hall to become the number 1 contenders for the WEW Tag Team Titles.

Nakagawa & Jado & Gedo would then defend the WEW 6 Man Tag Team Titles once again against Kodo Fuyuki & Kyoko Inoue & Chocoball Mukai on May 28, 2000. Nakagawa would once again show why he was nick named "Mr. Double Cross" after hitting team mate Gedo with the 6 Man Title belt and helping Fuyuki once again get the pin over Gedo. Almost two years, to the date that he would turn on Atsushi Onita and help out Kodo Fuyuki and officially join Team No Respect. This time, Nakagawa was officially leaving Team No Respect which would soon end up disbanding for good afterwards to join Fuyuki's new team of Mr. Gannosuke, Kyoko Inoue, Shoichi Arai, Chocoball Mukai and the new WEW Hardcore Tag Team Champions Hideki Hosaka & Yoshinori Sasaki. Nakagawa would later show up at the end of the show with Fuyuki, but would be dressed up in all black and would be introduced as no longer going by the name of Koji Nakagawa, instead going by the name of GOEMON.

GOEMON was the name of a famous Japanese thief. Although, Koji Nakagawa would no longer be going under his real name anymore, he would continue his nick name of "Mr. Double Cross".

Nakagawa would make his name under the GOEMON name on May 30, 2000 in Kanawa with Kodo Fuyuki & Hideki Hosaka against Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Ricky Fuji, and Hayabusa going under the name H. GOEMON would get the pinfall over Ricky Fuji for the win.

GOEMON would then team with Kodo Fuyuki to take on H & Genichiro Tenryu who would go under the Hayabusa name for the match on June 16, 2000 at Korakuen Hall.

Tenryu would end up arriving and laying out Fuyuki and H would end up hitting a Fire Bird Splash on Fuyuki for the win.

GOEMON would then team with Kintaro Kanemura on August 28, 2000 at Korakuen Hall against Masato Tanaka & a newcomer to FMW, a wrestler by the name of Onryo. Onryo who was a zombie, coming back from the dead, mixed well with GOEMON's darkish gimmick. The two would mix it up for the first time against each other, and right off the back, worked well against each other. GOEMON's team mate Kintaro Kanemura would end up pinning Onryo in the match, but the GOEMON vs. Onryo feud had been set.

GOEMON would get the first win in a singles match between the two on October 10, 2000 in Fukuoka after getting the jack knife roll up on Onryo for the victory. A match between the two would be set up for November 12, 2000 at the Yokohama Bunka Gym. Onryo would also reveal his Belt of Curse, the belt that is said to have killed Onryo. The belt would be on the line in their match, with the loser having to keep the Belt of Curse.

GOEMON & Onryo's feud would be taken to the main event of Korakuen Hall on October 29, 2000 with GOEMON teaming up with Kodo Fuyuki to face Hayabusa & Onryo. GOEMON would focus on using his fork to cut open Hayabusa's arm to make up for the fact that Hayabusa was having troubles with his arms that were needed surgery on. Hayabusa would still manage to score the victory and defeat Kodo Fuyuki with the 450 Fire Bird Splash for the win.

GOEMON & Onryo would end up teaming once again on November 23, 2001 at the Yokohama Bunka Gym against the team of Superfly Jimmy Snuka & his protégé Jayson Ray. It would be turned into a very short match due to Snuka who was the attraction of the match, being so limited in the ring. GOEMON would end up pinning Ray to win the match which would be GOEMON's last time in the building.

GOEMON would lose be set up against Biomonster DNA who was long time FMW wrestler Gosaku Goshogawara on December 9, 2001 at Korakuen Hall. GOEMON would end up putting Biomonster over in the match clean after being hit with a Tombstone Piledriver.

GOEMON would then team with Kintaro Kanemura & Mammoth Sasaki on February 4, 2002 at Korakuen Hall against Vic Grimes, Paul LeDuc, and Mitsunobu Kikuzawa. GOEMON would end up taking an incredible beating during the match, and would also end up being the last wrestler to ever bleed in FMW as Mammoth would end up pinning Kikuzawa for the win. GOEMON who was incredibly bloody would walk off as Kanemura & Mammoth would do the TNR Dance in the ring together. It would turn out to be the last FMW show ever as FMW would declare bankruptcy on February 15, 2002. The FMW Dojo in which GOEMON worked with his students would also close shortly afterwards.

Kodo Fuyuki would group all the FMW wrestlers together and being to promote shows under the name "Fuyuki Army Promotion" in place of the scheduled FMW shows.

GOEMON would continue to tour with Fuyuki Army Promotion, but several of the wrestlers including GOEMON as well as Mammoth Sasaki and Flying Kid Ichihara would give notice to Fuyuki that they would no longer be working any of his shows.

GOEMON would stay for one last show for Fuyuki and team with Onryo & Satoshi Makita against the DDT team of Sanshiro Takagi & MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba. GOEMON's team would lose to the DDT team after Takagi would pin Makita. After that show, many of the former FMW wrestlers would officially just stay away from wrestling for the summer of 2002.

GOEMON would challenge The Great Sasuke on June 2, 2002 for the NWA Middle Heavyweight Title at the Tokyo Club Heights. The match would turn out to be slow and bad, with Sasuke finishing GOEMON off with a Swanton Bomb for the win and another successful title defense.

Then on July 3, 2003 at a Press Conference, it would be revealed that GOEMON along with many of the old FMW wrestlers that left Fuyuki would be entering into a new promotion in which Hayabusa would be the commissioner of. The new promotion would be WMF. Wrestling Marvelous Future.

GOEMON would team up with Onryo & Darkness Dragon against The Great Sasuke, Tiger Mask IV, and Dragon Kid on August 28, 2002 at the Tokyo Differ Ariake for the WMF Debut show. It would turn out to be a very good match, but GOEMON's team would lose after Onryo would be pinned by Tiger Mask. It would turn out to be the last time that GOEMON would team up with Onryo as later on the show, GOEMON would make his presence known by coming out after a match between Mr. Gannosuke & Jinsei Shinzaki vs. Tetsuhiro Kuroda & Hisakatsu Oya. After Mitsuhiro Matsunaga had interfered in the match, GOEMON would come out and slap Matsunaga's hand to show his unity with the match that had just attacked Mr. Gannosuke with a barbwire bat. GOEMON would beat down on the fallen Gannosuke & Shinzaki with Kuroda & Oya and then walk over to Hayabusa. GOEMON would grab a bottle of water as Hayabusa watching in his wheel chair would be spit in the face with water by GOEMON. GOEMON would announce that he was forming own new group with Tetsuhiro Kuroda & Hisakatsu Oya, called The Double Cross Brand. GOEMON would be the official leader of the new heel group. 

GOEMON would then reveal a new partner to take the place of Onryo in Sukekiyo, who would also be the newest member of The Double Cross Brand. GOEMON would team with Sukekiyo on September 16, 2002 against Onryo & Flying Kid Ichihara. Sukekiyo who is a wrestler of the ZIPANG promotion by the name of Tomoya Adachi in a white hooded mask would pin Ichihara.

GOEMON would then team up with Sukekiyo and IWC's Super Hentai on September 29, 2002 at the Saitama Koshigaya Katsura Studio to face Onryo, Asian Cougar, and Flying Kid Ichihara. GOEMON's new partner Sukekiyo would manage to score the pinfall victory over GOEMON's former tag team partner Onryo to capture the win for the Double Cross Brand team. GOEMON would not be done for the night, as he would return  GOEMON would come to the announce table and watch Mitsuhiro Matsunaga take on Mammoth Sasaki with the commentators. Matsunaga being unable to use his death match tactics in WMF would resort to going back to his old karate style that he broke into the business training in. Mammoth would end up being too much for Matsunaga and would score the victory easily over him. Due to the loss, Matsunaga would be force to leave WMF although afterwards he would show his respect towards Mammoth Sasaki, which would not leave GOEMON please whatsoever.

Although GOEMON would become one the top heel for WMF, he would still suffer one of his most embarrassing losses after being pinned by Flying Kid Ichihara on November 10, 2002 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere after GOEMON's knee would go out and then be hit with Ichihara's 619 for the defeat.

GOEMON would also suffer another huge loss, this time to former rival and tag partner, Onryo on November 23, 2002 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere. The match would end up going over 18 minutes, but in the end, just like the many times before in FMW in 2000, Onryo would end up pinning GOEMON with the Onryo Clutch on his former friend and partner.

GOEMON would then make his return to Korakuen Hall for the first time since April 9, 2002 on December 12, 2002 in which he would team with Sukekiyo to defeat the team of Flying Kid Ichihara & Asian Cougar after GOEMON would end up getting revenge for his humiliating defeat by Ichihara a month earlier by pinning Ichihara in the match with a Swanton Bomb.

GOEMON would then team up with Tetsuhiro Kuroda on December 21, 2002 at the Sapporo Teisen Hall against the team of Mr. Gannosuke & Jinsei Shinzaki. During the match, Gannosuke would end up turning on Shinzaki and help The Double Cross Brand pound on Shinzaki in which Kuroda would become very confused by as he would know nothing about why Gannosuke was aligning himself with them. GOEMON & Gannosuke would then attack Kuroda causing the referee to throw the match out as Tetsuhiro Kuroda had been kicked out the Double Cross brand, and Mr. Gannosuke had became the newest member of the group.

The new Double Cross Brand team of GOEMON, Mr. Gannosuke, and Soldier would team up to take on the WMF team of Mammoth Sasaki, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, and Garuda on January 12, 2003 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere as the new Double Cross Brand would be successful after Gannosuke would pin Sasaki in the match.

GOEMON would then take on former friend and rival dating back to the early days in FMW in Tetsuhiro Kuroda on February 15, 2003 at the Osaka Sky Dome Hall. GOEMON would end up losing via DQ to Kuroda, after Soldier would interfere and help GOEMON take out Kuroda. But Double Cross Brand would have much friction at the end of the show as the team of Mr. Gannosuke had revised his Hayabusa gimmick would team up with HISAKATSU but lose to the team of Mammoth Sasaki & Jinsei Shinzaki after Mammoth would get the pin on HISAKATSU. Gannosuke would blame HISAKATSU for the loss and shove HISAKATSU. HISAKATSU would reply back by supplexing Gannosuke. A very upset Gannosuke end up leaving the Brand Double Cross and form his group called "The GUN's". 

Brand Double Cross on March 9, 2003 would end up gaining a new member, as after Onryo would defeat Ricky Fuji in one of the matches on the show, Brand Double Cross would hit the ring and begin attacking and stomping away at Onryo with Ricky Fuji right there in the ring. Ricky would look at them and then begin stomping away at Onryo as well as he would high five members of the group and become the newest member of Brand Double Cross. But they would take a big hit later in the show as Mr. Gannosuke would debut his new GUN's stable consisting of Ichiro Yaguchi & Katsumi Hirano as Gannosuke look-alikes by the names of Mr. Rocknosuke & Mr. Iwaonosuke. The GUN's group would become the top faction in WMF after The GUN's would defeat the team of GOEMON, HISAKATSU, and Soldier after Gannosuke would finish off GOEMON with a Fire Thunder. Brand Double Cross was now for the first time since WMF had started, no longer the leading heel faction in the promotion. 

Then on March 19, 2003 at a Yokohama Hospital, long time leader of Team No Respect and FMW booker Kodo Fuyuki would pass away at 6:50 PM due to cancer at the age of 42. Almost every former FMW wrestler as well as wrestlers from all over Japan would come to pay respect to the life of Hiromichi "Kodo" Fuyuki.

Koji Nakagawa would attend the wake of Kodo Fuyuki on March 22, 2003 as well as other WMF employees  Hayabusa, Mr. Gannosuke, Mammoth Sasaki, and Flying Kid Ichihara, all of whom had wrestled against or teamed with Kodo Fuyuki dating back to 1997. With videos playing of Kodo Fuyuki's career on a big screen, each wrestler and friend would walk up to the casket of Fuyuki to say their last goodbye.

GOEMON would be the selected person to come in the ring at the start of WMF's March 23, 2003 Saitama Hall Pepe Hall Atlas Show. GOEMON would wear his old Koji Nakagawa Team No Respect jersey given to him by Kodo Fuyuki in 1998. He would hold up a picture of Kodo Fuyuki and pay respect to Fuyuki from WMF with a 10 bell salute. GOEMON would then counter the loss earlier in the month to the GUN's by debuting a new member to his Brand Double Cross in a match against Mr. Gannosuke, Mr. Rocknosuke, and Mr. Iwaonosuke. GOEMON along with Soldier would reveal their partner to be Mr. Pogo. Mr. Pogo who had always hated Mr. Gannosuke dating back to Gannosuke's early days as a Onita partner back in FMW in 1994. Mr. Pogo would bring a chain in the match and then hang Gannosuke with the chain over the top rope causing the referee to stop the match and disqualify Mr. Pogo. 

GOEMON would then team up with fellow Brand Double Cross members HISAKATSU & Ricky Fuji for WMF's 2nd Korakuen Hall show on April 11, 2003. Like the first Korakuen Hall show, GOEMON would again appear in the opening match. Again, against Flying Kid Ichihara, Asian Cougar, and this time with Mineo Fujita. The three Brand Double Cross members would paint their faces for the match and win easily as GOEMON would get the victory over Fujita with a Swanton Bomb. Later in the show, Sukekiyo a member of the Brand Double Cross would lose a match to Onryo where Sukekiyo would have to take off his mask and reveal to be Tomoya Adachi. Adachi would announce that he was leaving Brand Double Cross to fight on his own.

GOEMON would then enter in the 8 man single elimination Tournament for the newly created WMF Jr. Heavyweight Title. GOEMON would face off against comedy opening match WMF wrestler Ikeda-kun in the 1st Round on June 1, 2003 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere in what look to be a easy win for GOEMON who was the favorite going into the Tournament. Ikeda who had been trained by GOEMON before debuting in FMW just short of two years before would not go down easily, and push GOEMON to the limits who spent the entire match hitting Ikeda with moves like his Swanton Bomb and Jackknife cradle, but each time Ikeda would manage to kick out. Ikeda would push the limits and last over 18 minutes with GOEMON before Ikeda would finally score a upset pinfall victory over GOEMON to eliminate him in the First Round of the Tournament. Tomoya Adachi would go on to win the Tournament to become the first WMF Jr. Heavyweight Champion.

After Kodo Fuyuki's death, long time FMW booker Go Ito would take over control of WEW, and would rename it back to Fuyuki Army Promotion. Go Ito would then agree to a deal with Hayabusa as they would work along side each other, with the first show being a FMW reunion at Korakuen Hall on July 7, 2003 with many of the WMF and WEW wrestlers working together. 

July 7, 2003 at Korakuen Hall, GOEMON would team up with freelancer GENTARO to take on the WEW team of Hido & Chocoball Mukai in a Street Fight. GOEMON would be busted open during the match after being thrown into stacks of chairs and them slammed over the head with those same chairs. GOEMON with blood running down his face would bring out his long time secret weapon, his fork. GOEMON would begin to carve open Hido's forehead with the fork causing blood to run down Hido's forehead. GOEMON would get a hold of Mukai and put him in Camel Clutch causing Mukai to tap. Hido would come back in the ring and knock out GOEMON & GENTARO with chairs until Onryo returning from an injury would hit the ring and make the save by dropkicking Hido & Mukai out of the ring. Onryo would look at his former friend and tag partner and put his out his hand as a show of friendship which GOEMON would answer by shaking it as the team of GOEMON & Onryo were officially back together. When Onryo would put out his hand to GENTARO, it would be slapped away as GENTARO would state he wanted nothing to do with Onryo nor GOEMON. Afterwards, GOEMON would announce that he was officially disbanding Brand Double Cross as the group was now allowed to go where ever they want, ending the group just short of 11 months. GOEMON would announce that he and Onryo were now officially back as a team and friends.

GOEMON & Onryo would return as a team for the first time since August 28, 2002 for WMF's Korakuen Hall show on July 25, 2003 against GENTARO and his new partner TAKA Michinoku. GOEMON was very familiar with TAKA as the two had feuded back in FMW in 1996 over the FMW Independent Jr. Heavyweight Championship. It would turn out to be one of the better matches on the lackluster show as all four wrestler would hit their signature spots on another before TAKA would finally manage to get Onryo in a Crossface and cause Onryo to tap out for the GOEMON & Onryo loss. 

GOEMON & Onryo would team up again for the Fuyuki Army Promotion August 25, 2003 Korakuen Hall show to take on the team of Mammoth Sasaki & K-Dojo's MIYAWAKI. Mammoth & MIYAWAKI would prove to be too powerful for GOEMON & Onryo as every time GOEMON & Onryo would start to gain control of the match, they would be overpowered. GOEMON would attempt a Tiger Driver on MIYAWAKI, but would be unable to pick him up, and as a result would be flipped over. Mammoth would nail GOEMON with a flying clothesline off the top rope, and then pick GOEMON up by the throat and choke slam right back down. Mammoth would then pick up GOEMON and nail him with Mammoth's 53 Year Old Jackhammer to score the pinfall victory over GOEMON. This would be back to back losses since returning as a team for GOEMON & Onryo. After the main event of Kintaro Kanemura defeating Mr. Gannosuke, Kanemura would get on the mic and announce that all the Independent wrestlers should band together to take on the wrestlers of major promotions like Zero-One. Kanemura, Gannosuke, Hido, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, TAKA Michinoku, GENTARO, Takashi Sasaki, and GOEMON & Onryo would join the group which would be called The Apache Army.

GOEMON would then work two times in one day as he would take part in WMF's Jr. Heavyweight show entitled "Flash" at the Tokyo Differ Ariake on September 6, 2003. GOEMON would team with GENTARO despite the differences between the two back in July to take on Onryo & WMF Jr. Heavyweight Champion Tomoya Adachi. GOEMON would score the victory over Adachi with a Swanton Bomb in the main event to make himself the number 1 contender for the WMF Jr. Heavyweight Title. GOEMON & Onryo would then team up later in the evening for WMF's 1st Anniversary Show to take on the team of Dick Togo & Ikuto Hidaka. Again, GOEMON & Onryo would lose another match as this time Togo would hit Onryo with a Senton Splash for the pinfall victory. 

GOEMON & Onryo would team with fellow Apache Army members TAKA Michinoku & Takashi Sasaki to take on a group of Independent wrestlers that had not joined the group in Mammoth Sasaki, MIYAWAKI, YOSHIYA, and Ikeda-kun for the Fuyuki Army Promotion September 22, 2003 Korakuen Hall show. This time, GOEMON & Onryo would finally manage to get a victory on the same team together as even though Mammoth Sasaki would double clothesline them both and choke slam then both, it would be TAKA Michinoku who would manage to get Ikeda into his Just Lock cross face and force Ikeda to tap out for The Apache Army victory. 

GOEMON would then challenge for Tomoya Adachi's WMF Jr. Heavyweight Title on October 14, 2003 at WMF's 2nd Flash show at the Tokyo Club ATOM. GOEMON would have the advantage on Adachi, and would even deliver a Falcon Arrow on to Adachi, but would not manage to get the three count. A frustrated GOEMON would grab the WMF Jr. Heavyweight Title and swing it at Adachi, but Adachi would duck and Superkick the title belt right onto GOEMON's face and cover him for the three count victory.

GOEMON & Onryo would then team up on October 19, 2003 at the Tokyo Differ Ariake against the Zero One team of Naohiro Hoshikawa & former FMW wrestler Yoshihito Sasaki. Hoshikawa & Sasaki would be too much for GOEMON & Onryo as Hoshikawa would use his lightning quick kicks and Sasaki would put up Onryo in a Canadian Backbreaker before Hoshikawa would finally finish off GOEMON with the pinfall for the victory and yet another GOEMON & Onryo loss.

GOEMON & Onryo would finally get their first victory as a team on October 24, 2003 at Fuyuki Army Promotion's Korakuen Hall show against GENTARO & Chocoball Mukai. GOEMON & GENTARO would brawl around ringside with Chocoball on offense on Onryo by using stiff kicks and hitting several moves to try and put Onryo away while GENTARO held onto GOEMON from making the save. Onryo would end up coming back and kicking Mukai from under his legs and getting the Onryo Clutch on Chocoball for the three count victory for the GOEMON & Onryo win. 

GOEMON would then team with fellow Apache Army members Kintaro Kanemura & Tetsuhiro Kuroda for WMF's November 20, 2003 Korakuen Hall show against Jinsei Shinzaki, Seiji  Ikeda, and Kazuya Yuasa. The Apache Army would take the loss after again Ikeda would manage to get the pinfall victory over his trainer GOEMON with a lariat and pinning GOEMON for the victory and the second straight victory over him. Despite embarrassed, GOEMON would accept the defeat by Ikeda.

GOEMON & Onryo would then take on Takashi Sasaki and his mystery partner Poison Sawada JULIE at Fuyuki Army Promotion's December 5, 2003 Korakuen Hall show. GOEMON and DDT's Poison Sawada JULIE would start off the match trading punches, but eventually Onryo and Takashi Sasaki who had been hypnotized to side with JULIE would go at it, with Onryo hitting a flip off the top rope onto the outside onto Sasaki, as well as a flying missile dropkick on Sasaki. Sasaki would counter with dropkicks as well as sunset flips, but Onryo would manage to turn it into a Onryo Clutch for a two count. GOEMON would come in, but would end up having Poison Sawada JULIE's cow mutilation submission maneuver put on him before Onryo would make the save. Onryo would then attempt to throw white powder at JULIE but JULIE would end up throwing GOEMON in the way causing the powder to get all over GOEMON's face and blind him. JULIE would then hit GOEMON with the face buster and get the pinfall victory over GOEMON in yet another GOEMON loss. With GOEMON out, JULIE would then attempt to suck GOEMON's brain out before Onryo would quickly dropkick JULIE out of the ring making the save for GOEMON. 

GOEMON & Onryo would then enter in a 4 team Tournament for the NWA Light Heavyweight Intercontinental Tag Team Championships. They would have to face Dick Togo & Ikuto Hidaka on December 25, 2003 at Zero One's Korakuen Hall show. GOEMON would be making his debut for Zero One on the show. GOEMON & Onryo would take it to Togo & Hidaka by controlling the match most of the time, including GOEMON using his Falcon Arrow and Swanton Bombs while Onryo would use his Onryo Clutch, but it would be Togo & Hidaka to take the match after Hidaka would hit a Tornado DDT off the turnbuckle and Togo finishing Onryo with a Senton Bomb for the three count and the victory to eliminate GOEMON & Onryo from the Tournament and would end up winning the titles.

GOEMON & Onryo would take on Garuda & Masashi Ikeda on January 12, 2004 at the Saitama Pepe Hall Atlas, but again the up and coming wrestlers for WMF would get the victory over GENTARO would hit the ring and accidentally Superkick GOEMON knocking GOEMON out as Garuda would hit a diving body press right on GOEMON for the pinfall victory. 

GOEMON & Onryo would renew their feud with GENTARO as they would take on GENTARO & Takashi Sasaki who had finally broke away from Poison Sawada JULIE's hypnosis. The two teams would go against each other at the Fuyuki Army Promotion January 14, 2004 Korakuen Hall show. GENTARO would get the best of GOEMON and lay him out with a Superkick and then followed by a Shooting Star Press to get the victory in yet another GOEMON pinfall loss. GENTARO would continue the attack on GOEMON after the match by continue to throw punches at him. Garuda would rush to the ring and deliver a top rope dropkick on GENTARO to make the save for GOEMON. Due to the conflict between the two teams, GOEMON & Onryo would no longer be apart of The Apache Army.

It would then be announced to the public that due to WMF's struggling business that most likely the last show will be on February 11, 2004 at Korakuen Hall. GOEMON's match would be turned into a old school FMW match.

GOEMON would team with Tetsuhiro Kuroda against Hideki Hosaka and Ricky Fuji at WMF's February 11, 2004 Korakuen Hall show. The match would be entitled "Story of the F" as all four wrestlers had wrestled with and against each other tons of times while in FMW. Kuroda would hit Ricky with the lariat and score the pinfall over him for the win. Later in the show, Onryo would manage to defeat GENTARO with help from GOEMON earlier in the match for the WMF Jr. Heavyweight Title using his 666 Lock for the submission. Mr. Gannosuke would then announce that the promotion would not be ending like expected, but that it would be restarting in six months and start back in August. GOEMON would officially leave the promotion and officially join his friend Hayabusa's Project Hayabusa group that would focus on Hayabusa's singing career, although he would still remain working every WMF show when it is to return. 

GOEMON & Onryo would team up with MIKAMI to take on GENTARO, Takashi Sasaki, and DDT's Tanomusaku Toba the following day on February 12, 2004 at Korakuen Hall for the Fuyuki Army Promotion. Although MIKAMI would end up accidentally dropkicking GOEMON, the team would manage to get back in control as GOEMON would carve GENTARO's forehead with a fork causing him to bleed while putting him in the Camel Clutch. MIKAMI and GOEMON would both deliver their Swanton Bombs and Onryo would manage to put GENTARO in his 66 Lock causing GENTARO tap to the move for the second straight day. 

With WMF not running for the time being, and the large gaps in between Fuyuki Army Promotion shows, GOEMON & Onryo would begin working for the the new small promotion called "666" started by Crazy SKB and help promoted by Onryo. The promotion would be based on dark gothic wrestlers. The first show would take place on December 13, 2003 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere for what would be a successful show for the small arena. They would return on February 29, 2004 at the same Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere. GOEMON would team with Onryo as well the spiked red hair wrestler Crazy SKB. They would go on to defeat the team of The Great Takeru, Asian Cougar, and Asian Condor when Onryo would make Condor tap to the 666 Lock. 

GOEMON would attend the 1 Year Anniversary of Kodo Fuyuki's death on March 19, 2004 at Korakuen Hall, with GOEMON joining all the other wrestlers on the card presenting a yellow flower to the ring with a life cardboard cutout of Kodo Fuyuki in the ring as a memorable to the late Kodo Fuyuki. GOEMON would team up with fellow former Team No Respect members Mr. Gannosuke and Masao Orihara, as well as MIYAWAKI to face Takashi Sasaki, GENTARO, Garuda, and Goshogawara Goshogawara with GOEMON going at it with GENTARO for the most part of the match, but it would be Gannosuke to get the victory over Goshogawara with the lariat for the victory.

Ricky Fuji would promote his own show "One Wild Night" the next day on March 20, 2004 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere. Ricky would take on Men's Teioh in a 60 minute Iron Man match with Teioh winning four falls to three. After the match, a familiar FMW theme would begin to play and  Koji "The Hitman" Nakagawa would come out down the ramp. It would be the return of Koji Nakagawa in wrestling for the first time since May 28, 2000. Nakagawa would be dressed in his old FMW attire from the mid 90's when he feuded with Ricky Fuji. Nakagawa would make the challenge to Ricky Fuji for a singles match at his next show, and Ricky would accept.

GOEMON would team up with Onryo & Masao Orihara to take on Takashi Sasaki, Gosaku Goshogawara, and Daisaku Shimoda for the last Korakuen Hall show on April 8, 2004 for the Fuyuki Army Promotion. It would also be the first time GOEMON was not facing GENTARO for a Fuyuki Army Korakuen Hall show in 2004. Goshogawara would go after GOEMON in the match, attempting to chokeslam him, but GOEMON would manage to counter and deliver a hip toss to him instead, with Orihara following up by delivering a supplex to Goshogawara. GOEMON would back in the ring with Onryo but would both would end up being hit with a double clothesline by Shimoda. Shimoda would attempt an enziguri on Onryo, but Onryo would manage to duck it, and kick Shimoda's legs from underneath him and roll him up for the Onryo Clutch for the victory.

GOEMON would then return to Kawasaki Stadium for the first time since 2001 to team up with Garuda on May 5, 2004 for the last Fuyuki Army Promotion show. GOEMON & Garuda's opponents would be no stranger to GOEMON in Jado & Gedo who were GOEMON's former tag partners four years earlier in FMW as the three had won two WEW 6 Man Tag Team Titles together. Garuda would face off against Jado & Gedo early, but GOEMON would be tagged in and begin brawling outside the ring with Jado with Jado swinging GOEMON into the guardrail. Jado would eventually manage to get GOEMON into the Crossface of JADO and force GOEMON to tap out for the Jado & Gedo victory over their old friend and partner for GOEMON's seventh and most likely final Kawasaki Stadium match.

GOEMON would then take part for the Wrestle-Aid Project group that would a charity funded show for May 16, 2004 at the Tokyo Differ Ariake facing his former tag team partner Tomoya Adachi with Tomoya getting the pinfall victory over his former tag team partner. 

GOEMON would team up with Onryo & Bolshoi 666 for the 666 promotion June 6, 2004 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere to face Asian Cougar, HERO!, and baby-M. The match would be entitled Good vs. Evil, although the evil team of GOEMON, Onryo, and Bolshoi would actually be the faces during the match. Asian Cougar would end up getting the victory for his team after pinning Onryo in the main event. 

GOEMON would then participate in Hayabusa's first concert on June 11, 2004 in Sapporo called "Triple Fight". Hayabusa & GOEMON would be joined by guitarist Masahiko Minoya who would play while Hayabusa sang. GOEMON would help with the show, talking with Hayabusa in between songs as the show overall would be considered a success.

GOEMON would return to the ring for the first time in over two months for the return of WMF on August 7, 2004 at the Tokyo Kitazawa Hall by teaming up with Mr. Gannosuke to go against Garuda & Seiji Ikeda in the main event of the show. The match would be the longest match in the promotions history going almost twenty-six minutes before Garuda would trap GOEMON into an armbreaker forcing GOEMON to tap. 

GOEMON, Onryo, and Bolshoi 666 would return as a tag team along with MASAMUNE to face Asian Cougar, HERO!, The Great Takeru, and baby-M on August 21, 2004 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere in a near rematch of two months earlier with again a Good vs. Evil theme to it, with the faces representing the evil. This time the end result would be different as Onryo would manage to score the pinfall victory on Asian Cougar after pinning him with the school boy for the win.

GOEMON would then team up with Onryo & Junji Tanaka to face Mammoth Sasaki and his DDT friends Tomohiko Hashimoto & Seiya Morohashi on August 29, 2004 at the Saitama Pepe Atlas Hall for WMF's 2nd Anniversary show. The Junior Heavyweight team of GOEMON, Onryo, and Tanaka would be no match for the powerhouse team of Mammoth and the DDT wrestlers as Mammoth would manage to finish off Tanaka with the 29 Years Old.

GOEMON & Onryo would return to Korakuen Hall for the first time since April 8th to team together once again for the debut of the Apache Army Promotion on August 30, 2004. GOEMON & Onryo would team up to take on Undertaker Gosaku which was a gimmick Goshogawara had used in 1994 in FMW and Paul Bearer who was DDT's Shoichi Ichimiya portraying The Undertaker's manager. Bearer would barely take part in the match, and although Undertaker Gosaku would deliver several Undertaker trademark moves, he simply could not handle GOEMON & Onryo and Onryo would manage to pin him using the Onryo Clutch. 

GOEMON would then be entered into the WMF Round Robin Tournament consisting of himself, Mr. Gannosuke, Mammoth Sasaki, Soldier, Onryo, Garuda, Seiji Ikeda, and Mineo Fujita with the winner getting their one wish granted. The first match of the tournament would take place on November 6, 2004 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere, with GOEMON facing his partner Onryo. Although GOEMON would control a good portion of the match, his struggle to defeat Onryo would happen again as Onryo would manage to lock the 66 Lock on GOEMON and force him to tap against his tag team partner giving GOEMON his first lost in the tournament.

The return of Koji Nakagawa in the ring would take place on November 14, 2004 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere, with Nakagawa wrestling as Koji "The Hitman" Nakagawa at Ricky Fuji's second promoted show in the main event. It would renewal their rivalry from FMW in 1995 with this time Ricky Fuji getting the victory over Nakagawa after the Referee would be force to stop the match. Nakagawa extremely upset over the loss in his return would demand a rematch to take place at the next show promoted by Ricky Fuji. 

GOEMON's second match of the WMF Round Robin Tournament would take place on November 28, 2004 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere, with GOEMON facing Seiji Ikeda. Even though GOEMON had trained Seiji Ikeda in the FMW Dojo, he had lacked success against his former student losing to him when Ikeda was still a comedy wrestler in the WMF Jr. Heavyweight Tournament on June 1, 2003 and then getting pinned by him again in a 6-man on November 20, 2003. This time the match was controlled by GOEMON though who would manage to get even on Ikeda by scoring the pinfall over him earning GOEMON two points and his first win of the tournament.

GOEMON's next opponent in the WMF Round Robin Tournament would be Mr. Gannosuke on December 18, 2004 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere which would be an incredible difficult task for GOEMON as Gannosuke was one of the few wrestlers in FMW that Nakagawa never defeated during the later years of the promotion. Gannosuke again would be just too much for GOEMON as he would get his first victory by making GOEMON tap to the Nirvana strangle putting GOEMON in a bad spot in the tournament. GOEMON would be able to rebound the next day on December 19, 2004 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere defeating Mineo Fujita after making him submit to the Crossface  to earn four points in the tournament and stay alive going into the new year.

GOEMON's next challenge would be on January 22, 2005 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere, taking on another one of his former students Soldier and once again GOEMON would suffer a defeat after being nailed with Soldier's BUU that would cost him his chances of advancing to the finals after losing. 

GOEMON would be put in a spot where he could not lose anymore matches in the tournament, or he would be eliminated. GOEMON would then face Mammoth Sasaki the next day on January 23, 2005 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere. Mammoth who had originally made his debut facing GOEMON had gone years before finally being able to defeat GOEMON was now the clear favorite going into the match. But GOEMON would use his quickness and intelligence after Mammoth would attempt to hit him with the Mammoth Home Run. Mammoth would set the chair on GOEMON's head and just as he was about to smash another chair over GOEMON's head, GOEMON would quickly duck and throw the chair on his head in the air to dodge the Mammoth Home Run. Mammoth would come back and try to take another swing at GOEMON, but GOEMON would move out of the way right before Mammoth would take his swing and miss, hitting the ropes and causing the chair to come right back and hit him in the face allowing GOEMON to quickly roll up Mammoth with the school boy to get the pinfall victory and stay alive in the WMF Round Robin Tournament with six points. 

Motoko Baba would put together a Giant Baba Memorial Show at Budokan Hall, home of many of old All Japan classic matches on February 5, 2005. Hayabusa who had became friends with Giant Baba at the end of his life had agreed to open the show with a tribute song to Baba, as well as have GOEMON booked for the show. GOEMON would team up with Yuto Aijima to face Ryuji Hijikata and Nobukazu Hirai with Hirai getting the pinfall victory over Aijima with Hirai End for the victory to start the show.

GOEMON would again participate for Hayabusa's Triple Fight on February 15, 2005 on the three year anniversary of the day that FMW was declared bankrupt. The concert would held at KRAPS Hall for a show that was postponed back in December that was going to auction off many Hayabusa items. GOEMON led the auction in between songs helping auction off posters of Hayabusa during his career, as well as Hayabusa cigarette lighters for another successful concert for Hayabusa.

GOEMON's last chance at advancing into the finals for the WMF Round Robin Tournament would fall on February 19, 2005 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere, taking on another one of his students in Garuda. Garuda would manage to make GOEMON tap to his submission move the Lunar Eclipse eliminating GOEMON from advancing in the tournament, and causing GOEMON to finish with 6 points. 

GOEMON would suffer even more humiliation the next night on February 20, 2005 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere when GOEMON would team up with Seiji Ikeda to face Onryo & Mineo Fujita in a match of the four wrestlers that did not advance into the tournament. GOEMON would again lose to one of his students, this time it would be Mineo Fujita who had only been a professional for two years and had graduated from the WMF Dojo. Fujita would manage to put away GOEMON with the neckbreaker as GOEMON continued to put over each and one of his students. Soldier would end up eventually winning the WMF Round Robin Tournament after defeating Mammoth Sasaki later in the night in the main event. 

Koji Nakagawa would return on March 19, 2005 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere for another Ricky Fuji promoted "One Wild Night" show, almost one year to the day that he had originally came out at the first show and challenged Ricky Fuji to a match. Their rematch this time would be a Canadian Last Standing Match, and Nakagawa would manage to get his revenge after putting away Ricky Fuji with a Tiger Driver on a chair. Ricky after being pinned would not be able to get back up after the 10 count and the bloody Koji Nakagawa would be rewarded the victory over his rival. Nakagawa would then place the Canadian flag over Ricky Fuji's body and shake his hand after winning the 10 year feud that he had with Ricky Fuji. 

GOEMON's good luck against an old rival would happen as well as he would challenge once again former tag team partner and current rival Onryo for the WMF Jr. Heavyweight Championship on April 1, 2005. GOEMON would manage to kick out of the Onryo Clutch, and escape the 66 Lock and finally manage to score the pinfall victory over Onryo ending his struggles against Onryo, as well as the WMF Jr. Heavyweight Title. It would be GOEMON's first title since having to vacate the WEW 6 Man Tag Team Titles after Hayabusa's injury, and his first single title since winning the FMW Independent Junior Heavyweight Title over Ricky Fuji ten years ago as Koji Nakagawa.

GOEMON would return to the Tokyo Differ Ariake to participate for the WE LOVE SABU charity show on April 17, 2005. GOEMON who had been friends with Sabu dating back to the early FMW days was honored to work the show for his friend after Sabu had became ill and needed money to pay the hospital bills. GOEMON would team with Big Japan's Daisuke Sekimoto and renewal his feud with GENTARO and Takashi Sasaki, but once again GOEMON would have no luck against Sasaki & GENTARO as Sasaki would manage to pin GOEMON with the D Geist for the Akrangers victory. After the show, all the wrestlers would get in the ring to pose for the cameras with Sabu and have a beer party in honor of him.

GOEMON would defend his WMF Jr. Heavyweight Title for the first time on May 14, 2005 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere, facing his Mineo Fujita. Fujita had earned the title shot after pinning GOEMON in a tag match back on February 20th in a upset. GOEMON would make sure that he would not be embarrassed by his former student again, and would manage to hook on the Crossface to Fujita forcing him to tap for the GOEMON victory for his first successful title defense in years.

GOEMON would then team up with Gosaku Goshogawara and Kenji Sawaraki to face Soldier, Mad Man Pondo, and Necro Butcher on May 15, 2005 at the Osaka Delfin Arena. Soldier who had got to bring in the foreigners as a reward for the winning the WMF Round Robin Tournament would turn the match into a brawl using stacks of chairs and tables before Necro Butcher would manage to score the pinfall over Gosaku with the Super Powerbomb for the victory.

GOEMON would return to the 666 promotion on May 21, 2005 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere to team up with MASAMUNE to face off against Asian Cougar and Asian Condor for the show that was celebrating Onryo's 10 years in pro wrestling. The match would be force to stop after MASAMUNE would refuse to stop tearing off Asian Cougar's mask causing the referee to disqualify MASAMUNE and reward the match to Asian Cougar & Asian Condor. Onryo would end up winning his ten year anniversary match against MIKAMI after originally the match had been a double count out. The match would restart and Onryo who would take off his shirt for the first time revealing his whole right side of his body tattooed would end up getting the Onryo Clutch on MIKAMI for the victory. Afterwards, Onryo would speak for the first time ever to the crowd in celebration of his anniversary in wrestling and hug MIKAMI afterwards.

It would then be announced that Laing, Inc. the financial backers for WMF would be pulling out of the promotion after nearly three years of funding it, feeling that the promotion was never going to make them money. Mr. Gannosuke would announce that he would keep WMF alive by promoting the next show on July 31, 2005 by himself.

Hayabusa's next Triple Fight would be on June 20, 2005 at the Naked Loft, with the show being dedicated to both Masahiko Minoya and GOEMON's birthday as both their birthdays would be on the same week. 

GOEMON would then participate for DDT on July 11, 2005 at the Niigata Phase for the first time since 2002 for an Earthquake revival charity show for the victims of a Earthquake in Niigata in February. GOEMON would team up with HERO! who had recently joined the darkside and became Darkside HERO! to face KUDO & Iifushi Kota with HERO! hitting the splash to score the victory over Kota for the sold out charity show. 

GOEMON will go on to work for the 666 promotion on July 24, 2005 at the Tokyo Takenotsuka Battle Sphere, where he will team with Darkside HERO! once again to face Onryo & MIKAMI in the main event. It will be followed the next week on July 31, 2005 by returning to the Takenotsuka Battle Sphere for WMF's return to face off against Soldier once again. GOEMON will then help out once again for Hayabusa's Triple Fight concert at the Naked Loft on August 16, 2005. 

GOEMON continues to be what he always has been in wrestling, and that's a key person to make a promotion better. At the age of 36, he continues to train wrestlers as well as help put over many other wrestlers, including his former students. GOEMON still remains WMF Jr. Heavyweight Champion, as well as a main event wrestler for the 666 promotion as Onryo's main rival, and is a huge assist in helping out making Hayabusa's concerts very entertaining.
