Hayabusa

Eiji Ezaki was born on November 29, 1968 in Kumamoto, Yatsuhiro Japan.

In 1987, Eiji Ezaki went to college where he would meet Masashi Honda. Both Eiji and Honda quickly found out that both of them shared a love for wrestling.

At the age of 23, Eiji and Honda would begin to wrestle in college at very small shows for fun, but it wasn't until February 1991 when Masashi Honda would put in a FMW tape where Atsushi Onita wrestled Tarzan Goto in the first ever Exploding Barbwire match and tell Eiji that he was planning on joining the FMW Dojo. Masashi was sure that he wanted to enter FMW, and asked Eiji if he would like to join it. Eiji turned down the offer as he felt that FMW was just too dangerous to enter. Honda ended up packing his bags to move to the FMW Dojo where he could train to be a pro wrestler, as Honda was leaving, Eiji was already outside packed and ready to go.

Tarzan Goto was assigned their trainer, and before they even got started, Eiji and Honda were force to do 1000 pushups to prove themselves.

Eiji and Honda were forced to do many obstacles including scrubbing every inch of the Dojo everyday, and doing a treacherous training everyday for several months while learning the basics of pro-wrestling.

After the months of suffering in the Dojo, Goto agreed that it was time for them to become professional wrestlers.

Eiji Ezaki wrestled his first ever career match for FMW on May 5, 1991 in Nagoya with Amigo Ultra who would later be known as Damian as they lost to the team of Yukihide Ueno & El Pandita. Ezaki considered it to be a very disappointing performance in his debut match. His second match would be a handicap match as Ezaki teamed with Flying Kid Ichihara against The Gladiator. It was a quick squash for Gladiator and another disappointing performance in Ezaki's mind.

Then in June 1991, Eiji Ezaki wrestled his first singles professional match against Yukihide Ueno, the same day Masashi Honda would made his debut against Flying Kid Ichihara. Both were very happy with the outcome, and Ezaki considered the match to be his real debut. That night FMW threw a party for the wrestlers, as FMW Dojo teachers Atsushi Onita and Tarzan Goto went up to Ezaki and Honda to congratulate them on their performances. Onita & Goto being the Dojo teachers trying to get the younger green wrestlers to pay their dues in the business suggest that the light a firecracker for the celebration, in their ass'.
In the Dojo, both Ezaki and Honda were force to put firecrackers up each other's ass and explode them while still in the ass Ezaki and Honda were injured after the display, but after people got word of the experience, it would become a very famous incident for FMW and its Dojo.

Eiji Ezaki & Masashi Honda wrestled in the biggest match of their career at the time in the opening match at the biggest FMW show at the time against each other on September 23, 1991 at Kawasaki Stadium. Eiji Ezaki won the match, but many people who saw the match saw the potential in Honda and not Ezaki.

Eiji Ezaki & Masashi Honda went back to training in the Dojo and opening FMW shows when FMW Booker and Referee Go Ito felt it was time to take Masashi Honda to the next level and give him a new name. Mr. Gannosuke. Mr. Gannosuke would be one of Atsushi Onita and Tarzan Goto's teammate in main events of FMW shows while Ezaki would stay in preliminary matches.

Ezaki was used as a preliminary worker for wrestlers like The Gladiator, Lance Storm, and Chris Jericho to be put over on houseshows., while Gannosuke began to team with Atsushi Onita and Tarzan Goto in the main event on those same houseshows.

Eiji Ezaki began to feel like overshadowed by how his best friend was getting all this attention, while he was just some prelim jobber still training in the FMW Dojo. Soon after Gannosuke left the Dojo to focus fulltime to become a midcard singles wrestler or partner with Onita and Goto in the main event, while Eiji Ezaki and new Dojo member Koji Nakagawa began training with each other.

On September 19, 1992 at the Yokohama Stadium, Eiji Ezaki and Koji Nakagawa teamed up to take on Kevin Faule & Chris Jericho which would be the prelim tag teams debut at a major show, Jericho would end up getting the pinfall victory over Nakagawa in the matchup.

Eiji Ezaki & Koji Nakagawa were then given a shot as they would have the opening match up on May 5, 1993 at Kawasaki Stadium. Ezaki on this show impressed many people with his highflying ability that he had, and many people after the match felt that Eiji Ezaki with a lot work on him could be the next big thing for FMW.

Eiji Ezaki & Koji Nakagawa remained training in the FMW Dojo for most of 1993, and on July 22, 1993 after Atsushi Onita was being attacked by his main rival Mr. Pogo, Ezaki ran out to the ring to try and help Onita after Mr. Pogo had blown fire allover Onita's back.

In the later part of 1993, FMW decided for Eiji to send to Mexico along with wrestlers such as Flying Kid Ichihara so that he could work on his in-ring flaws before returning to the promotion.

In 1994, Ezaki met with New Japan Wrestler Jushin Liger who had been good friends with Ezaki for awhile, and Liger suggested that Eiji Ezaki could use a gimmick that was similar to his gimmick. Eiji tried it by using a unique outfit like Liger's was, and Eiji called himself "Hayabusa" which means Falcon and "The Bird that never dies" Ezaki used the gimmick is several matches in Mexico which was very well received, and Hayabusa began doing very spectacular moves like the Shooting Star Press.

May 5, 1996 at Kawasaki Stadium, Hayabusa & Masato Tanaka team up to wrestle Victor Quinones' team of Mr. Pogo and their Mystery Partner Terry Funk with the winner receiving 1 Million Yen in the Death Match. Hayabusa is again severely injured as his back is cut open after being tossed onto Exploding Barbwire and being dropped into a Exploding Land Mind, and then tossed onto a burning chair, and is finally pinned after a Powerbomb from Funk for the lost. Funk and Pogo then begin to tear off Hayabusa's to show every the bloody face of Eiji Ezaki. Hayabusa is quickly stretcher off as Terry Funk grabs the mic and begins calling out the retired Atsushi Onita who is in the stands watching the match. In the locker room, a bloodied mask less Hayabusa begins crying because of how much money he had just cost the promotion and says he was full of shit to think he could lead this promotion.. Atsushi Onita goes over to the locker room, and begins screaming at Hayabusa for sobbing and tells Hayabusa that if he wants to lead this promotion to greatness like he did, he'll need to grow up and take these kind of incidents like a man would. The scarred up and bloodied Hayabusa gets up and goes back to his locker room before taking another trip to the hospital to receive over 100 stitches for his cut up back.

Shawn Michaels then grabs the mic and congratulates them on a great match, and then tells Gannosuke to be a man and shake Ezaki's hand for great sportsmanship. H puts his hand out, as everyone in the crowd looks at Gannosuke to see if he will do what he did on April 29, 1997at the Yokohama Arena and attack Ezaki after putting his hand out in friendship. But Gannosuke this time does shake Ezaki's hand. Gannosuke then grabs the mic and proclaims that he will not apologize for what he has done.

H and Kuroda do battle the majority of the time, as they fight outside in the ring, and into the crowd where H hits a Hurricanrana on Kuroda on the concrete. Gannosuke spends majority of the time watching the match and sometimes helping either H or Kuroda double team the other.
