Don Fujii
In 2008, most of the active stables in Dragon Gate were going through rapid shifting. Kanda feuded with both BxB Hulk and his own stablemate Masato Yoshino. His 2008 started with several high-profile wins, but this collapsed after Yoshino helped Hulk defeat him in a multiple man hair vs hair cage match, and when Hulk debuted his "Killer Hulk" persona, defeating him in their blow-off match in a squash. He rebounded a little, winning the Open the Triangle Gate Championship for the first time with YAMATO &amp; Gamma on July 12, but they would lose them to Masaaki Mochizuki, Don Fujii &amp; Magnitude Kishiwada on September 28.
