Tomoaki Honma is a Japanese professional wrestler currently working for New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW).
Career
Honma dreamed of being a pro wrestler while in high school. He tried out as the NJPW Dojo but was unsuccessful. He trained eventually with Michinoku Pro's Dojo before switching to Big Japan Pro Wrestling's training system. He debuted at BJPW and became drawn to the deathmatch division. His major claim to fame is that he became the first wrestler to use a neon light tube as a weapon during a match. He later left due to disagreements with BJPW management.
