Taro Miyake

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taro Miyake was a Japanese professional wrestler who toured all over the U.S. in the 1920's. In 1928 Miyake returned to Japan and toured there with three other wrestlers, but professional wrestling was not popular in Japan back then and the shows did not sell tickets.
