Shoji Akiyoshi (秋吉 昭二 Akiyoshi Shōji?), better known by his ring name Jado (邪道?) (born September 28, 1968) is a Japanese professional wrestler, best known for his work in New Japan Pro Wrestling with his tag team partner Gedo. His career has largely paralleled that of his partner except for brief instances in Universal Lucha Libre in 1993 and Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling in 1997 where they were on opposing sides; additionally, Jado never toured North America with World Championship Wrestling like Gedo did. In 1992, he and Takayami defeated Scorpio, Jr. and Shu El Guerrero to win Michinoku Pro Wrestling's UWA/UWF Intercontinental Tag Team Title.[1]
