Taiji Ishimori is a Japanese professional wrestler currently working for Pro Wrestling NOAH.
Ishimori was trained in Toryumon Mexico. He was given a pop idol gimmick and intended to become the ace of his graduating class, even going so far as to release an album to support it. However, the fan interest never matched his hype, and through no fault of his own, Ishimori became one of Toryumon's bigger failures. He worked for the short lived promotion dragondoor as the top face, and once again failed to get over with the fans.
He worked mostly as a freelance wrestler for NOAH up until a few months ago, when he finally signed a contract for NOAH. Prior to the contract he already worked most of NOAH's shows, so this was the final step in establishing himself as a credible talent. Taiji is a longtime Tag Team Partner of KENTA and they wrestled many shows together while working towards winning the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. They got a shot at the Champions, but lost their match. After Taiji signed the NOAH Contract, they shortly won the Tag Titles on March 20th, 2008.
Taiji and KENTA went to Dragon Gate and beat the team of BxB Hulk and Shingo Takagi to bring the Jr. Tag Titles back from Dragon Gate.
