Career

He has worked for many Japanese federations: after graduating in the 9th Toryumon school class term, he debuted in 2002 in Toryumon Mexico with the gimmick of Small Dandy Fuji, a little version of the Japanese wrestler Sumo Dandy Fujii, teaming up with SUWAcito and Mini CIMA, forming the Mini CMAX stable; he continued using this gimmick during 2003. He joined Michinoku Pro Wrestling, originally as Michinoku Ranger Silver with Michinoku Ranger Gold as his partner. He later changed his name and gimmick to Rasse, a masked character representing the Aomori Nebuta Matsuri, which he currently uses. Rasse gained a title shot for the Tohoku Tag Titles, teaming up with Shanao, and losing to Great Sasuke & Dick Togo, and lost the final match for the Tohoku Jr. Heavyweight Title to Takeshi Minamino.

He also wrestled in HUSTLE as HUSTLE Kamen Blue, a member of HUSTLE Kamen along HUSTLE Kamen Red and HUSTLE Kamen Yellow.

Okimoto joined the newborn El Dorado, wrestling as Jumping Kid Okimoto, a masked character exclusive to the promotion.
