## History

### Dragon Gate and Toryumon Japan

The stable before it was a stable it was tag team named Iwasa Gundam and it was formed by Taku Iwasa and Daniel Mishima later they renamed their tag team to Florida Brothers and formed a stable named Florida Express with Johnson Florida and Jackson Florida and Iwasa renamed imself to Michael Iwasa. Their routine involved spoofing American southern style wrestling, and winning matches by DQ. Iwasa carried a folding chair painted in a stars and stripes pattern to the ring, and the Floridas would throw the chair to their opponents, then fake having been hit with it. The referee would then DQ their opponents, and the Floridas would leap to their feet and put their hands over their hearts as The USA Nation Anthem played. Later, they would add Takayuki Yagi to their stable. Yagi portrayed a partial referee, dressing in an American Flag motif shirt and wearing oversized sunglasses that he required to see. Kensuke Sasaki joined the Floridas as a part-time member after losing to them via DQ, and called himself Kenskee whenever he teamed with them. The Florida Brothers gimmick had run its course in 2006, and Iwasa and Mishima put the gimmick on the line in a match against Stalker Ichikawa. Ichikawa won the match. Iwasa and Mishima went their separate ways. Mishima would leave the company very shortly after, while Iwasa joined the cram school stable Tozawa-juku. The stable was continued by Johnson and Jackson Florida as Super Florida Brothers that was the team of Johnson and Jackson and Jackson won the Open The Owarai Gate Champion three times and Johnson also won Owarai Gate Champion by defeating Jackson but he lost the title back to Jackson. They were disbanded on July 11, 2010. On May 9, Florida Express made a one-night return against Genki Horiguchi and Ryo Saito, where they won by disqualification.

Akira Tozawa Diet 7 Match Series

**The Akira Tozawa Diet Series** is a seven-match trial series Akira Tozawa undertook in Dragon Gate from August 2008 through October 2008.

## Overview

After nearly three years as a professional, Tozawa was nowhere near the level of rank his peers Shingo Takagi, BxB Hulk, and YAMATO were at. Even more embarrassing, his one equal Yuki Ono was slowly beginning to outrank him after bulking up into a great big fat person. Believing that following Ono on the same path would finally lead him to some success, Tozawa did the same throughout early 2008. It ended up making things worse.

Kenichiro Arai and Taku Iwasa, who had been solely responsible for virtually any success Tozawa-juku had, confronted Tozawa about his weight gain. Tozawa got the message and vowed to abandon the metabolic ways. To keep in check the progress of his weight loss, he engaged in a seven-match trial series as a means of displaying how he was also ready to finally breakout as a serious competitor. This series ended up garnering some attention as Tozawa would actually earn victories over his opponents, even if one ended up being the result of a disqualification. He also managed to go to an impressive twenty-minute draw with his master Masaaki Mochizuki. When all was said and done, Tozawa's diet series was viewed as a success as he won three matches.

The finale of the series saw Tozawa defeat long-time tormentor Don Fujii. Inspired by the momentum that was building, he boldly challenged Fujii and his partners for the Open The Triangle Gate Championship. After much persistence, the champions agreed on the condition that the Tozawa-juku unit be put up in return. Tozawa agreed without consulting the others, perhaps due to the confidence he felt from the series. In the end, Tozawa-juku lost and were forced to disband.

Since the series ended, Tozawa stayed in shape and, more importantly, began to slowly progress in rank. It started with his and Iwasa appealing to Shingo to form a unit, which became KAMIKAZE. Tozawa then embarked on a year-long learning excursion to the United States in 2010, which resulted in the career breakthrough he had been looking for. Upon his full-time return to Japan, he finally became a top-line player of equal rank to Shingo, Hulk, and YAMATO.

On June 1, 2004 he beat Takeshi Morishima for the WLW Heavyweight Championship. In December 2004 he announced his departure from Noah.
