March 2002, Sunami was involved in a 6-Man Tag Team match with Jack Daniels & Jon Jon the Pheonomenon as his partners. Unfortunately, they were defeated by the team of Jin Hiryu, Lucky, and Brawlin' Bo Cooper. A fued would ignite in the CWA between Sunami and Brawlin' Bo Cooper over the CWA Hardcore Championship. In October of 2002, Sunami finally defeated Bo Cooper and Kris Kage in a triple threat to capture his first singles title, the CWA Hardcore Championship. After the CWA was bought out in mid 2003, Sunami quietly left pro wrestling making only a few appearances throughout the years.

The Return 

Sunami made his return to pro wrestling in 2009 working for promotions such as North American Wrestling and shows for the Knokx Pro Academy.

Vendetta Pro Wrestling 

At Vendetta Pro's debut show on July 11, 2009, Sunami defeated Jesse Jimenez & Kid Omega in Vendetta's first ever Tri-Force Match. When Vendetta would return in Janruary of 2010, Sunami teamed with Shadow Dragon & Maverick against Jason Watts, Tank Alvarado, and old rival Brawlin' Bo Cooper. At the conclusion of the match, Bo decided to attack all of the competitors in the match with a steel chair. In February of 2010, Sunami defeated Jaysin Strife. After the match, Bo Cooper again attacked Sunami in the back with a steel chair. Later in the evening during Bo's match with Nate Rulez, Sunami's music hit, distracting Bo enough to let Nate roll up Bo for the three count. Afterwards, Bo threw a fit in the ring, unknowing that Sunami had come through the crowd with a chair in hand and hit Bo in the back. Extracting a small measure of revenge, it was set that Sunami would face Bo Cooper in Vendetta's first No-DQ, No-Countout hardcore match. Sunami got the victory after a frog splash on Bo through a table. As Sunami was making his exit, Bo called Sunami back in the ring. After what the fans thought was just another step in this fued, Bo extended his hand showing respect for Sunami. July of 2010, in a scheduled match between Ballard Brothers & Rock Of Love, Billy Blade attacked his partner Kadin Anthony and threw him to the waiting Ballard Brothers in the ring. Just when it looked like there was no hope for Kadin, Sunami came out to be his partner for the night. Unfortunately, Sunami and Kadin were defeated but it was that night, SU/KA was born.
