Mr. Gannosuke
After the dissolution of FMW, Nakagawa, along with several FMW alumni joined Mr. Gannosuke's new promotion Wrestlings Marvelous Future (WMF), which was based on promoting younger talent. His first match for WMF on its pre-debut show took place on August 18, 2002, when he teamed with Mammoth Sasaki, Ricky Fuji and Soldier against Garuda, Mr. Gannosuke, Seiji Ikeda and Onryo in a losing effort in an eight-man tag team match. On August 28, GOEMON participated in WMF's debut show "The Independence Day", where he teamed with Onryo and Darkness Dragon against Dragon Kid, The Great Sasuke and Tiger Mask IV in a losing effort. Later that night, GOEMON turned heel by attacking Mr. Gannosuke and Jinsei Shinzaki with a baseball bat after Mitsuhiro Matsunaga had cost Gannosuke and Shinzaki, a match against Hisakatsu Oya and Tetsuhiro Kuroda. GOEMON formed a villainous faction called Brand Double Cross with Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Hisakatsu Oya and Sukeiyo, based on his "Mr. Double Cross" moniker, thus ending Goemon's affiliation with Onryo. On November 10, Goemon unsuccessfully challenged Flying Kid Ichihara for the NMC Junior Heavyweight Championship. At "Marvelous Days 1st", Goemon and Sukeiyo defeated Asian Cougar and Flying Kid Ichihara.
