Makoto Saitō (wrestler)
Makoto Saitō (斎藤 誠, Saitō Makoto; born April 16, 1974 in Nerima, Tokyo, Japan), better known by his ring name K-ness (stylized with a period as K-ness. and read as Kunesu (クネス)), is a Japanese retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his 23-year tenure with Toryumon and later Dragon Gate, where he was NWA World Welterweight Champion, Open the Brave Gate Champion, two-time Open the Twin Gate Champion and three-time Open the Triangle Gate Champion.
He was also known under the ring name Jimmy K-ness J.K.S. (ジミー・クネスJ.K.S., Jimī Kunesu Jē Kē Esu) while he was part of the Jimmyz stable.
Saitō debuted in Michinoku Pro Wrestling around the same time as Yoshito Sugamoto, and then went on to wrestle on the Japanese independent circuit.
He joined Tōryūmon in 1999 as Makoto, with a vampire style gimmick. As Makoto he was a member of the legendary Crazy Max stable. However, he did not get along with Taru, and eventually was kicked out of the stable after losing to Taru in a loser leaves match.
He returned to Tōryūmon as Darkness Dragon, a takeoff on the Último Dragón lineage, joining heel stable M2K. With the help of his stablemates he became a main event performer. He had a bitter feud with Dragon Kid that ended in 2002 with Kid winning the feud after winning a best of 3 falls mask vs mask match. Darkness Dragon unmasked and briefly went face, forming a face stable called Do Fixer with Kid and Ryo Saito. His face turn, however, was a ruse designed to cause dissention between the faces. He would soon turn heel again, joining the remnants of M2K and revealing that they were the real Do Fixer. He remasked and reinvented himself as K-ness., and engaged in a major feud and rivalry with Yossino.
In November 2003 he suffered a major shoulder injury which caused him to miss out on the majority of 2004, and the switch from Tōryūmon to Dragon Gate.
By the time K-ness returned, Último Dragón had left the promotion and taken the Tōryūmon trademark with him.
On returning, K-ness re-united members from the various M2K factions that had split up over the past few years and created Final M2K. He had a relatively quiet 2005. He faced long term rival Yossino for the Open the Brave Gate Championship, but was defeated.
