Yukihiro Kanemura

Born 1970-08-09

Yukihiro Kanemura (金村 珩皓, Kanemura Yukihiro) (Korean: 김행호 Kim Hyeong-ho) is a Zainichi-Korean retired professional wrestler, better known by the ring name Kintaro Kanemura (金村 キンタロー, Kanemura Kintarō). He is also known as W*ING Kanemura or Wing Kanemura (ウイング金村, Uingu Kanemura). He is best known for his death matches in Apache Army, Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW), International Wrestling Association (IWA) and Wrestling International New Generations (W*ING). After beginning his career in the Japanese independent circuit in 1990, Kanemura joined W*ING in 1991 where he got his first mainstream exposure in professional wrestling and became skilled in deathmatch wrestling style as he participated in many notable deathmatches in the promotion, becoming one of the top stars of W*ING and became a one-time Caribbean Heavyweight Champion, one-time Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Champion and one-time World Tag Team Champion. He then worked briefly for IWA Japan after W*ING folded in 1994 before ultimately joining FMW. He made a name for himself in FMW by rising from a mid-carder to one of FMW's top main eventers as a member of W*ING Alliance and Team No Respect. He was the first title holder of the Independent Heavyweight Championship and the Hardcore Championship. He became a three-time world champion in FMW, winning the Brass Knuckles Heavyweight Championship once, the Independent Heavyweight Championship once and the WEW World Heavyweight Championship once. After FMW folded down, Kanemura became a freelancer in the independent circuit and founded his own promotion, Apache Army, an offshoot of FMW, which ended with Kanemura's retirement in 2016. Other major titles won by Kanemura were the BJW Deathmatch Heavyweight Championship and the KO-D Openweight Championship.

Japanese wrestlers make American tough guys look like girlie-men in this collection of no-holds-barred matches from the Far East. Punches and kicks are just a departure point for these fighters, who also use barbed wire, furniture, broken glass and other creative weapons to bring down their opponents; one wrestler even sets the ring on fire! This is a must-see for any real wrestling fan who wants to witness hard-core warriors in action.
