Tokyo Gurentai
Mazada and Nosawa finally made amends in April 2002 and the following month began working together for Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), forming a new version of the Tokyo Gurentai with Takemura. The group also returned to IWRG and in June 2003 won the promotion's Intercontinental Trios Championship from "Los Megas" (Mega, Omega and Ultra Mega). They, however, held the title for only a week before losing it back to "Los Megas". That same month, the Tokyo Gurentai produced their own independent event in Tulancingo, Hidalgo. Takemura left the Tokyo Gurentai in October 2003, after signing with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), while Mazada and Nosawa began working regularly with All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) in February 2004. In May 2004, Mazada and Nosawa also made guest appearances for NJPW, feuding with former stablemate Takemura. The following month, Takemura quit NJPW and jumped to AJPW, re-joining the Tokyo Gurentai. Mazada and Nosawa, the latter now known as (which made him the first Tokyo Gurentai member to use Japanese script as part of his ring name), received their first title opportunity in AJPW in October 2004, when they unsuccessfully challenged Genichiro Tenryu and Masanobu Fuchi for the All Asia Tag Team Championship. In February 2005, Mazada and Nosawa had another storyline falling out, after which Nozawa formed the new tag team RonKaz with Kaz Hayashi, throwing the future of the Tokyo Gurentai into question. While the Tokyo Gurentai was inactive in Japan, the stable's three original members, Kikuzawa, Mazada and Nosawa, made a one-night reunion in April 2005, working for the Los Angeles-based Alternative Wrestling Show (AWS) promotion.
