Timeline

Masahito Kakihara (垣原 賢人) is a former Japanese professional wrestler and mixed martial artist, who is known for his work in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and UWF International (UWFI).

1989

Kakihara actually joined UWF Newborn in 1989 and debuted a year later, but the promotion folded shortly after.

He then joined its new incarnation, UWF-i, where he became an apprentice under Nobuhiko Takada.

A promising rookie, he was booked accordingly and soon had wins over Kiyoshi Tamura, Gary Albright and Dan Severn.

1995

In 1995, during the interpromotional feud between UWF-i and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, Kakihara was one of the few who were given victories in his side, defeating Kensuke Sasaki, Shinjiro Otani and Yuji Nagata.

Later, when UWF-i started another feud with Wrestle Association R, Kakihara teamed up with Takada and Yuhi Sano to win the WAR World Six-Man Tag Team Championship.

He also had an appearance in one of the first events of Battlarts, beating Satoshi Yoneyama.

1996

In 1996, UWF-i folded as well.

He spent some time in the next incarnation, Kingdom Pro Wrestling, but it was short-lived.

1998

Kakihara and his Kingdom partner Yoshihiro Takayama debuted in All Japan Pro Wrestling in 1998.

They reunited with Gary Albright to form the second incarnation of the Triangle of Power stable, which would get into a feud with The Holy Demon Army, but they split up later when Takayama left to found No Fear with Takao Omori and Satoru Asako.

Kakihara then joined Mitsuharu Misawa and his Untouchables faction, where he teamed up with Yoshinari Ogawa.

Out of kayfabe, Misawa wanted Kakihara to be pushed as the second member of the group, but Giant Baba opposed, feeling Kakihara was too undersized and hadn't paid his dues with the promotion yet.

2000

In 2000, Misawa, Kakihara and a large group of wrestlers left to form Pro Wrestling Noah, but he soon left the promotion because of a few personal problems with fellow wrestler Takao Omori.

In his first and only match for NOAH, a six-man tag team match involving him, Yoshinari Ogawa and Daisuke Ikeda against Omori, Takayama and Satoru Asako on the promotion's first show, Kakihara appeared wearing mixed martial arts gloves and got in a scuffle with Omori, beating him down with stiff strikes.

Immediately after Kakihara left, claiming he was interested in competing for Pride Fighting Championships like several of his fellow shoot-style wrestlers.

However, he instead returned as a freelancer to AJPW, where the Noah exodus had left new chances.

He joined another shoot-stylist, Mitsuya Nagai, and they won the vacant All Asia Tag Team Championship against Yuji Nagata and Shinya Makabe.

Their reign would be short, as Masahito suffered a knee injury and was forced to vacate the titles again.

He didn't return to AJPW when he recovered.

2001

In 2001, Kakihara debuted for New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

Upon his arrival, he formed an occasional alliance with two other shoot-style users, Masayuki Naruse and Minoru Tanaka.

Tanaka and him competed for the vacant IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, but Kakihara was defeated.

2003

He spent the rest of his tenure as a midcarder, until in 2003 Kakihara shockingly won the Best Of The Super Junior X.

However, his persistent injury impeded any lasting push he might have received.

He seemed to recover his momentum at the Best Of The Super Junior XI, but he was defeated at the very finals by Heat.

Around this time, he also started competing in Kiyoshi Tamura's promotion U-style.

2004

He ended 2004 teaming with Takashi Iizuka to challenge two of Kakihara's former allies, Naruse and Nagai, for the very title Kakihara had gained in AJPW with the latter, the All Asia Tag Team Championship; however, Kakihara and Iizuka failed.

2006

Kakihara bounced around the roster for two more years, until in 2006 he announced his retirement from professional wrestling due to a spinal injury.
