Tetsuya Shimizu (清水 哲也 Shimizu Tetsuya, born April 5, 1983) is a Japanese professional wrestler who has worked under the ring names T28, Tetsuya, and Tetsuya Bushi. He works as the masked BUSHI (stylized in all capital letters) for New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), where he is a former four-time NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champion and one-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight and IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion.

Having worked for All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) for most of his career, BUSHI transferred to NJPW in April 2012. Together with Super Crazy, BUSHI won AJPW's 2010 Junior Tag League and has previously won AJPW's U-30 Tag Team Tournament in 2008 with KUSHIDA. BUSHI spent 2009 working in Mexico for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG), gaining international experience before returning to AJPW in February, 200. Through NJPW's working relationship with the Mexican Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre promotion, BUSHI has held the CMLL World Welterweight Championship.

Professional wrestling career[]

All Japan Pro Wrestling (2007–2008)[]

Tetsuya Shimizu trained in the AJPW Dojo under Animal Hamaguchi as well as receiving extra training by Kaz Hayashi and Keiji Mutoh for his professional wrestling debut. Upon his debut, he adopted the ring name T28, inspired by the Japanese manga Tetsujin 28-go.[1] Shimizu, as T28 wrestled his first match on March 12, 2007, losing to Nobukazu Hirai in the opening match of an All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) show in Gunma, Japan.[2] Only two months after making his debut, T28 participated in the "Tag Team Samurai! TV Cup Triple Arrow Tournament", teaming up with veterans Satoshi Kojima and Taiyo Kea. In the first round, they defeated a team known as Grappler, Susumu, and Hanzo, before losing to Katsuhiko Nakajima, Kensuke Sasaki, and Seiya Sanada in the second round.[3][4] In February 2008, T28 teamed up with Kushida to participate in the U-30 Tag Team Tournament, a one-night tournament that featured AJPW's top young wrestlers. The team defeated CJ Otis and Mototsugu Shimizu in the first round, Kaji Yamato and Taishi Takizawa in the second round and the team of Daichi Kakimoto and Manabu Soya in the finals to win the U30 Tag Team tournament.[5] The team would go on to compete in AJPW's 2008 Junior Tag League, the team ended up tied for the last place with only four points for two victories and three losses.[6] He also competed in the 2008 AJPW Junior League, earning three points for one win and one time limit draw.[7] In late 2008 it was announced that T28 would undertake a "learning excursion" to Mexico to help him gain international experience, a tradition for many young Japanese wrestlers. He wrestled his last match for AJPW on September 19 before travelling to Mexico.

Learning excursion to Mexico (2008–2010)[]

In Mexico, Tetsuya Shimizu began learning the Lucha libre style under Skayde.[1] On January 29, 2009, he made his debut for the Naucalpan, State of Mexico based International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG), working as a masked rudo (bad guy) character called Tetsuya.[1] In only his second match in IWRG he defeated reigning IWRG Intercontinental Lightweight Champion Freelance, which earned him a chance at the title only 10 days after making his IWRG debut. Tetsuya defeated Freelance to win the title, in a match that also included Dr. Cerebro.[8] His run with the title lasted for more than a month and did not feature any successful title defenses before he lost the belt to Zatura.[9] He spent the next several months teaming with other heels for random trios matches. He participated in IWRG's 2009 Rey del Ring tournament but was eliminated as number 14 out of 30.[10] Over the summer of 2009 he began wrestling as Tetsuya Bushi, or at times just BUSHI after the Japanese term Bushido, the Samurai code. After losing a tag team match he was attacked by his partner Fantasma de la Opera and Tetsuya Bushi was turned technico (good guy). On November 11, 2009, Tetsuya Bushi became a two-time IWRG Intercontinental Lightweight Champion as he defeated Avisman to win the title, becoming the only wrestler to hold the title two times up to that point.[11] After the success of the title victory, Bushi tasted the sting of defeat as he was beaten by Oficial 911 in a Lucha de Apuesta, mask vs. mask match, and had to unmask.[12] Traditionally foreign wrestlers who traveled to Japan to learn to lose an Apuesta match and either unmasks or has their hair shaved before their tour ends.[12] Tetsuya Bushi's tour of Mexico ended in January 2010 when he lost the IWRG Intercontinental Lightweight Championship to Dr. Cerebro. After the match El Hijo del Diablo used a Tombstone piledriver on Bushi, which in storyline terms injured Bushi, explaining his absence.[13]

Return to AJPW (2010–2012)[]

When Shimizu he used the name BUSHI instead of T28 and resumed wearing the mask he had lost to Oficial 911, since Japan are not subject to the strict mask rules of Mexico. After returning BUSHI teamed with AJPW's top star Keiji Mutoh as well as luchador Super Crazy. The team with Super Crazy became a semi-regular feature, at times even as a six-man team with Kiyoshi who himself had recently returned from his own "learning excursion". On April 11, 2010, BUSHI received his first shot at the World Junior Heavyweight Championship, but champion Kaz Hayashi successfully defended the title against BUSHI in a very close match, a testament to the improvements he had made in Mexico[14] He teamed up with Super Crazy to win the 2010 Junior Tag League, defeating Hiroshi Yamato and Shuji Kondo in the finals.[15] In August 2011, All Japan introduced a new character named Black BUSHI, portrayed by Canadian Adam Filangeri, who started a rivalry with the original BUSHI, imitating the famous rivalry between the Tiger Mask and Black Tiger characters.[16]

New Japan Pro Wrestling (2012–present)[]

On April 16, 2012, New Japan Pro Wrestling announced it had reached an agreement with AJPW, which would see BUSHI switch promotions in what was referred to as a "one-year rental transfer".[17] BUSHI debuted as an NJPW wrestler in 2012 Best of the Super Juniors tournament, where he won three out of his eight round-robin stage matches and finished second to last in his block.[18] On October 21, BUSHI and Mexican wrestler Negro Casas entered the 2012 Super Jr. Tag Tournament as "Grupo Cibernetico".[19] However, the team was eliminated from the tournament in the first round by Suzuki-gun (Taichi and Taka Michinoku).[20] On November 15, BUSHI participated in the NEVER Openweight Championship tournament, but was eliminated in his first round match by Kengo Mashimo.[21] On January 18, 2013, New Japan and BUSHI held a press conference to announce that he had signed a contract to make his move from All Japan permanent.[22] On June 7, Mexican Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) promotion, with which New Japan Pro Wrestling had a working relationship, announced that BUSHI, working under the ring name "Bushiroad", would start his first tour with the promotion the following week.[23] In his Mexican return match on June 14, Bushiroad teamed with Guerrero Maya, Jr. and Tritón to defeat Bobby Zavala, Namajague, and Puma in a six-man tag team match.[24][25] In an unusual role for Japanese wrestlers in CMLL, Bushiroad was positioned as a technico, leading to Okumura of La Fiebre Amarilla branding him a traitor for going against his own people.[26] BUSHI returned to New Japan on September 5.[27] From May 30 to June 6, BUSHI took part in the 2014 Best of the Super Juniors tournament, where he finished with a record of four wins and three losses, with a loss against Ricochet on the final day costing him a spot in the semifinals.[28][29] On October 13 at King of Pro-Wrestling, BUSHI unsuccessfully challenged the visiting Chase Owens for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) World Junior Heavyweight Championship.[30] On December 19, BUSHI suffered an epidural hematoma, cervical cord neurapraxia and a thoracic vertebrae fracture, which were estimated to sideline him for six months.[31]

BUSHI was set to wrestle his return match on August 16, 2015, but the match had to be postponed, after he broke the orbital floor in his right eye while training.[32] BUSHI's comeback was postponed until November 21, 2015.[33] However, on November 20, New Japan announced they had pulled BUSHI from his return match due to being unable to get into contact with him.[34] However, the following day this was revealed to be a storyline as BUSHI accompanied Tetsuya Naito and EVIL to their match, joining their villainous Los Ingobernables de Japón stable in the process.[35] On December 9, BUSHI attacked Máscara Dorada after he refused to join Los Ingobernables, ripped off his mask, and stole the CMLL World Welterweight Championship belt, setting up a future title match between the two.[36] On December 19, BUSHI defeated Dorada with help from EVIL to become the new CMLL World Welterweight Champion.[37] On January 22, 2016, at Fantastica Mania 2016, BUSHI lost the title back to Dorada.[38] On February 14 at The New Beginning in Niigata, BUSHI unsuccessfully challenged Kushida for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.[39] In May, BUSHI entered the 2016 Best of the Super Juniors. Though he failed to advance from his block with a record of four wins and three losses, he scored a big win over Kushida in his final match, eliminating the reigning IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion from the tournament in the process.[40] In July 6th it was announced that he is going to participate in the 2016th Super J-Cup.[41] On July 20, BUSHI entered the 2016 Super J-Cup, but was eliminated in his first round match by Yoshinobu Kanemaru.[42]

During the tournament, BUSHI picked up a big win, over reigning IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay. On August 20, it was announced that BUSHI would take part in a four-man single-elimination tournament to crown a new champion after BUSHI's Los Ingobernables de Japón stablemate Hiromu Takahashi was forced to vacate the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship due to a neck injury.[52] BUSHI lost in the semifinals to KUSHIDA on September 23 at Destruction in Kobe. In October, BUSHI and the newest member of Los Ingobernables de Japon Shingo Takagi took part in the Super Jr. Tag League, finishing the tournament with a record of five wins and two losses, advancing to the finals of the tournament.
