Atsushi Maruyama (丸山 敦 Maruyama Atsushi, born on June 1, 1976 in Osaka, Japan) is a Japanese professional wrestler, best known for his work with Osaka Pro Wrestling under the ring name Tigers Mask (タイガースマスク Taigāsu Masuku).[1][2] The ring name and original wrestling attire were inspired by the Hanshin Tigers baseball team. On February 8, 2014, Tigers Mask announced his resignation from Osaka Pro, effective April 20, after which he will begin working in the Tokyo area under a new persona. On April 22, 2014, Maruyama made his first appearance unmasked, announcing that in the future he would be working under his real name.[3] Maruyama also adopted two new ring names, when he started to work for Pro Wrestling Heat Up as Akatora (アカトラ Akatora) and Kaientai Dojo as Teppei (TEPPEI).[4][5]
