Before being a professional wrestler, Izumida was asumo wrestler, making his debut in March 1986. He reached a highest rank ofmakushita 37. He trained atAzumazeki stable and was known under three different ring names (shikona): Takamishō (高見将), Seiunryū (青雲龍), and finally Musashiumi (武蔵海). He retired from sumo in September 1991.
Izumida debuted forAll Japan Pro Wrestling at the age of twenty-six after being scouted by the company. On May 25, 1992, he wrestled his first match withGiant Baba andRusher Kimura againstMasanobu Fuchi,Haruka Eigen, andMotoshi Okuma. He then formed a team withTamon Honda, and the two enjoyed a reign asAll Asia Tag Team Champions.
WhenMitsuharu Misawa left AJPW in mid-2000 and formedPro Wrestling Noah, Izumida followed. In Noah, Izumida formed the Violence Bulldogs faction with his close friend,Akira Taue. A hilarious comedy match on June 10, 2005, saw him team with fellow sumoTakeshi Rikio to defeatJun Akiyama and (at the time) rookieGo Shiozaki in a tag team match, with the stipulation that Izumida would propose to female wrestlerMima Shimoda if he won. Shimoda proceeded to reject a kiss attempt from him.
Beginning in early-2010, Izumida declared free agency to wrestle in other promotions. He made a return to All Japan on June 24, 2010, teaming withYoshinobu Kanemaru to beatHiroshi Yamato andYasufumi Nakanoue in a tag team match. In his last match, on March 18, 2012, he teamed withTakao Omori andManabu Soya to defeatDark Cuervo,Dark Ozz, andRONIN.
Izumida was found dead on January 31, 2017, in his home inKanagawa. It was determined he had died on January 25 of aheart attack.[1]
