Danshoku Dino (男色ディーノ Homo Dino?) is a Japanese professional wrestler. Dino plays an overly exaggerated homosexual character similar to the likes of Adrian Street. Although having only been in the wrestling industry for a few years he has gone places which a lot of wrestlers at both his level of experience and level of exposure have never been.
His ring name comes from the character Danshaku Dino from the manga series Sakigake!! Otokojuku.

[edit] History
Dino was trained in shoot fighting prior to training to be a wrestler which is seen in some of his matches.
As well as wrestling in a lot of the micro-indy wrestling promotions around Japan, he has even made appearances for Zero One MAX.He recently made his US debut in February, competing for various independent promotions such as CHIKARA, IWC and IWA-East Coast.
His natural charisma, outrageous personality and highly unorthodox ring style (which mostly consists of him using pro-wrestling moves with sexual overtones to them) catapulted his push in DDT at a phenomenal rate.
