Yasushi Tsujimoto (辻本 恭史,Tsujimoto Yasushi),[1] better known by his ringname"brother" Yasshi (stylised as"brother"YASSHI), is a Japaneseprofessional wrestler, known for his appearances in El Dorado Wrestling,Dragon Gate, andAll Japan Pro Wrestling. He is currently working forPro Wrestling Zero1. He was an amateur wrestler before becoming a pro wrestler.
Tsujimoto debuted inToryumon Japan as part of the T2P class as Stevie "brother" Tsujimoto. He was ranked second, roughly tied withMasato Yoshino, but far behindMilano Collection AT. Both he and Yoshino would join Milano's factionThe Italian Connection, renaming to Yassini and Yossino respectively. Tsujimoto did not like his new name, and after arguing with Milano, settled on "brother Yassini".[2]
The Italian Connection began showing a divide, as Milano and Yossino were face oriented, whereas Yassini and fellow ItaCon stablemates Condotti Shuji, Bakery Yagi and Berlinetta Boxer were all heels.[2] Yassini and Shuji would split from the ItaCon when they attacked Milano and Yossino with blue boxes. They renamed to brother Yasshi and Shuji Kondo respectively, and as of 2008 have remained together. Kondo and Yasshi broughtToru Owashi and Shogo Takagi (the unmasked Berlinetta Boxer) into their group, and renamed to Hagure Gundam.[2]
Veteran Dragon Gate wrestler Masaaki Mochizuki joined Hagure Gundam as the leader. The stable renamed to Aagan Iisou, which means roughlyVillains all wear the same colors. They addedTakuya Sugawara into the mix shortly after. Kondo, Yasshi and Sugawara formed a regular three man tag team. Kondo and Mochizuki began to argue over who was the ace of the stable, and Aagan sided with Kondo, kicking Mochi out of the group.
All five members of Aagan Iisou – Kondo, Yasshi, Sugawara, Owashi and Takagi – were fired from Dragon Gate on December 31, 2004, for controversial and mostly unexplained reasons.[3]
After Kondo and Yasshi were fired from Dragon Gate, they surfaced in AJPW as part of DG alumniTARU's stableVoodoo Murders.[4]
Yasshi and Kondo reprised their alliance in the short lived Dragondoor promotion, as well as their three-man tag team with Takuya Sugawara. Although Toru Owashi and Shogo Takagi were both in the promotion, a full reunion of Aagan Iisou never happened.
In El Dorado, Yasshi split from Kondo for the first time since their early days in the Italian Connection. Yasshi returned to the wrestling and Llave style he used in the early days of his career, and formed a stable of his own called theNanking Fucking Wrestling Team alongside high school wrestling teammatesMasaki Okimoto andYuji Hino. It did not last long as he made few attempts to expand it, and after losing a match to Kondo in which the loser disbanded his faction, Yasshi reformed his alliance with Kondo.
Yasshi retired in February 2009.
On December 9, 2012, Yasshi made a special appearance inKensuke Sasaki's Diamond Ring. On February 11, 2013, he, Taru,Kazunari Murakami, Kengo Nishimura,Kento Miyahara andTaishi Takizawa reformed the Voodoo Murders, with Yasshi positioned as the leader of the group.[5]
On February 4, 2016, Yasshi returned to Dragon Gate, 11 years after his controversial firing, and reunited with his former Italian Connection stablemate Masato Yoshino. On May 11, Yasshi returned once again and joined Verserk.
