Professional wrestling career

He was the second student from the Dragon Gate Dojo. He was brought into Dragon Gate by Magnum TOKYO, with TOKYO's influence evident in many aspects of his character, most notably his trademark pre-match dance routine. Magnum TOKYO had him placed in the Pos.HEARTS unit he created ("Pos." representing the limitless possibilities he showed), with Anthony W. Mori and Super Shisa as the other members. The unit largely served as a launching pad to get his career off the ground. Pos.HEARTS would have only one major success, winning the Open the Triangle Gate titles in December 2006 from Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino and Gamma of the Muscle Outlaw'z, but they lost the titles in their first defense the following month back to them, and when they lost to them again the month after that, they were forced to dissolve the unit.

He would join up with CIMA's Typhoon stable, but a few months later, in the midst of Typhoon's feud with the faction Muscle Outlaw'z, he and MO'z member Cyber Kong both betrayed their stables to join together and form New Hazard, also including Shingo Takagi and YAMATO. While in the group, he would hold the OTG titles twice, and most notably, he and Shingo would win the Pro Wrestling NOAH GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship in January 2008.

In April, YAMATO betrayed both New Hazard and an outside tag team partner, defecting to Muscle Outlaw'z. A month later, Shingo and Kong turned on BxB Hulk before they were to defend the OTG titles against YAMATO, Genki Horiguchi and Gamma of MO'z, effectively vacating the titles and ending New Hazard. Then, Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino—who had recently split from MO'z—came to his aid, and although the trio failed to win the vacant titles from Shingo, YAMATO & Gamma of the newly-formed Real Hazard, they formed a new unit with Naoki Tanisaki and m.c.KZ called WORLD-1.

On June 12, BxB Hulk unveiled a persona that he had hinted at doing several months ago called "Killer Hulk", wearing black pants and black make-up and using a violent fight style. Under this persona, he dismantled Real Hazard's Yasushi Kanda, blowing off what was left of their feud that they had going on for the last few months. He then got into a feud with Shingo. They fought in a match on June 29 to determine the #1 contender for CIMA's Open the Dream Gate Title, but the match ended in a one-hour draw. They were soon scheduled to do battle again on July 27, but this time it would be for the Open the Dream Gate Title itself, due to CIMA vacating it because of a neck injury. Hulk would unfortunately lose that match, but his performance impressed Shingo enough that he retracted his statement about Hulk being weak—which was the basis of the New Hazard split—and shook hands with him.
