Ryusuke Taguchi is a Japanese professional wrestler under New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) promoter. He is currently in his fourth reign as the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team. Despite not being as strong as other wrestlers, he is notorious for his eccentric stage presence. Donning an afro and vibrant neon tights, Taguchi would win through a match with hip thrusts and would celebrate his victory with a dance. This playful behavior has earned him the nickname, "Immortal Funky Weapon". He has been a fighter for 14 years, and some of his trademark holds are the dodon, dropkick, hip attack, enban chuudoku, and shika koroshi.
