Jun Izumida
Jun Izumida (泉田 純, Izumida Jun; October 28, 1965 – January 25, 2017) was a Japanese professional wrestler who worked for All Japan Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Noah.
Before being a professional wrestler, Izumida was a sumo wrestler, making his debut in March 1986. He reached a highest rank of makushita 37. He trained at Azumazeki stable and was known under three different ring names (shikona): Takamishō (高見将), Seiunryū (青雲龍), and finally Musashiumi (武蔵海). He retired from sumo in September 1991.
Izumida debuted for All Japan Pro Wrestling at the age of twenty-six after being scouted by the company. On May 25, 1992, he wrestled his first match with Giant Baba and Rusher Kimura against Masanobu Fuchi, Haruka Eigen, and Motoshi Okuma. He then formed a team with Tamon Honda, and the two enjoyed a reign as All Asia Tag Team Champions.
When Mitsuharu Misawa left AJPW in mid-2000 and formed Pro Wrestling Noah, Izumida followed. In Noah, Izumida formed the Violence Bulldogs faction with his close friend, Akira Taue. A hilarious comedy match on June 10, 2005, saw him team with fellow sumo Takeshi Rikio to defeat Jun Akiyama and (at the time) rookie Go Shiozaki in a tag team match, with the stipulation that Izumida would propose to female wrestler Mima Shimoda if he won. Shimoda proceeded to reject a kiss attempt from him.
Beginning in early-2010, Izumida declared free agency to wrestle in other promotions. He made a return to All Japan on June 24, 2010, teaming with Yoshinobu Kanemaru to beat Hiroshi Yamato and Yasufumi Nakanoue in a tag team match. In his last match, on March 18, 2012, he teamed with Takao Omori and Manabu Soya to defeat Dark Cuervo, Dark Ozz, and RONIN.
Izumida was found dead on January 31, 2017, in his home in Kanagawa. It was determined he had died on January 25 of a heart attack.
