Career

Early Life/All Japan

Wanting to be a pro-wrestler since high school he competed in Amateur Wrestling while in high school, and was ranked 2nd in the 63 kg class in the 1997 Hokkaido high school championship conference. After debuting in All Japan Pro Wrestling in December of 2002, he picked up his first singles win over giant heavyweight prospect Masayuki Kono about six months into his career on 5/12/2003. He got a huge opportunity by representing All Japan in the 4th Stage Super J Cup hosted by Osaka Pro in 2004, but came up way short after losing to Osaka Pro ace Takehiro Murahama in the first round. Teaming with Toshiaki Kawada in the Autumn Festival Tag Tournament, he got both victories in their finals matches to win his first tournament after being a 2 year pro, upping his credibility very much. He was All Japan's first junior heavyweight prospect in a long while, being a very quick and fiery youngster who was coming along well. Ishikari began 2005 by challenging for the All Japan Jr. Heavyweight Championship against TAKA Michinoku in a losing effort, then continued wrestling in the lower mid-card.

Freelance/New Japan

In early February Ishikari followed his mentor, Toshiaki Kawada and ended his affiliation with All Japan to become a freelancer. Ishikari bounced around trying to find a new permanent home competing for HUSTLE and the short lived Kings Road promotion. In mid 2006 Ishikari started to pop up on New Japan Pro Wrestling shows and his activity with the company then increased in 06 & 07, but still hasn't earned a permanent spot on the roster.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling

Taichi Ishikari appeared as a member of Team Japan in TNA Wrestling's 2004 World X-Cup, competing in both a Battle Royal and a Ladder Match. He was rumored to be a part of 2008's Team Japan, but the spot was filled by Puma.
