{{nihongo|Tokyo Gurentai|東京愚連隊|Tōkyō Gurentai}} is a professional wrestling stable, currently made up of Fujita, Kikuzawa, Mazada, and Nosawa Rongai. The group was formed in 2000 by Kikuzawa, Mazada and Nosawa and has since appeared for Japan's four biggest promotions; All Japan Pro Wrestling, Dragon Gate, New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Noah, as well as several larger independent promotions such DDT Pro-Wrestling, Diamond Ring, Kaientai Dojo, Osaka Pro Wrestling and Wrestling New Classic (WNC), while also regularly producing their own independent events. The stable has also made appearances for promotions in Mexico and the United States. Currently the stable is working most notably for Wrestle-1. "Gurentai", denoting "hoodlums", is one of the three principal member categories of the yakuza crime syndicate.{{cite web | url = http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/japan-yakuza-mafia-henchmen-create-own-website-urge-visitors-stay-off-drugs-1443010 | title = Japan: Yakuza Mafia Henchmen Create Own Website and Urge Visitors to Stay Off Drugs | last=Iaccino | first=Ludovica | date=April 2, 2014 | accessdate=November 27, 2015 | work=International Business Times}}

History

File:NOSAWA Rongai.jpg]]

In July 2000, while working for the American Xtreme Pro Wrestling (XPW) promotion in Los Angeles, California, Japanese wrestlers Kikuzawa and Nosawa began teaming together as "Tokyo Gurentai".{{cite web | url = http://www.tokyogurentai.com/history.html | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20100325192352/http://www.tokyogurentai.com/history.html | title = 東京愚連隊 History | archivedate=March 25, 2010 | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Tokyo Gurentai | language=Japanese}} Later that same month, Nosawa used the same team name while teaming with compatriot Mazada on the Mexican independent circuit, culminating in the two defeating Los Rayos Tapatío (Rayo Tapatío I and Rayo Tapatío II) for the UWA World Tag Team Championship. Upon their return to Japan, Kikuzawa, Mazada and Nosawa teamed together for local independent promotions until January 2001, when Kikuzawa left the group as he began concentrating on his work with Osaka Pro Wrestling as the masked comedy character Ebessan.{{cite web | url = http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/bios/k/kikutaro/ | title = Kikutaro | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Online World of Wrestling}} The following March, Mazada and Nosawa returned to Mexico to work for the International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG), where Fujita joined them as the third member of Tokyo Gurentai. The three also teamed together for promotions in the United States the following month. Mazada and Nosawa returned to IWRG during the summer of 2001, first losing their hairs to Mike Segura and Último Vampiro in a Hair vs. Hair match on May 31,{{cite web | url = http://www.pwinsider.com/article/58480/531-this-day-in-history.html?p=1 | title = 5/31 This Day in History | last=Martinez | first=Ryan | date=May 31, 2011 | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Pro Wrestling Insider}} and then defeating Los Megas (Mega and Super Mega) on June 10 for the IWRG Intercontinental Tag Team Championship.{{cite web | url = http://www.wrestling-titles.com/mexico/iwrg/iwrg-t.html | title = International Wrestling Revolution Group Intercontinental Tag Team Title | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Puroresu Dojo}} They held the title for a month, before being stripped when Nosawa no-showed a scheduled title defense. As the relationship between Mazada and Nosawa went sour, the Tokyo Gurentai was effectively dissolved.

Mazada and Nosawa finally made amends in April 2002 and the following month began working together for Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), forming a new version of the Tokyo Gurentai with Takemura. The group also returned to IWRG and in June 2003 won the promotion's Intercontinental Trios Championship from Los Megas (Mega, Omega and Ultra Mega).{{cite web | url = http://www.wrestling-titles.com/mexico/iwrg/iwrg-6.html | title = International Wrestling Revolution Group Intercontinental Trios Title | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Puroresu Dojo}} They, however, held the title for only a week before losing it back to Los Megas. That same month, the Tokyo Gurentai produced their own independent event in Tulancingo, Hidalgo. Takemura left the Tokyo Gurentai in October 2003, after signing with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), while Mazada and Nosawa began working regularly with All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) in February 2004. In May 2004, Mazada and Nosawa also made guest appearances for NJPW, feuding with former stablemate Takemura. The following month, Takemura quit NJPW and jumped to AJPW, re-joining the Tokyo Gurentai. Mazada and Nosawa, the latter now known as {{nihongo|Nosawa Rongai|Nosawa論外}} (which made him the first Tokyo Gurentai member to use Japanese script as part of his ring name), received their first title opportunity in AJPW in October 2004, when they unsuccessfully challenged Genichiro Tenryu and Masanobu Fuchi for the All Asia Tag Team Championship. In February 2005, Mazada and Nosawa had another storyline falling out, after which Nozawa formed the new tag team RonKaz with Kaz Hayashi, throwing the future of the Tokyo Gurentai into question. While the Tokyo Gurentai was inactive in Japan, the stable's three original members, Kikuzawa, Mazada and Nosawa, made a one-night reunion in April 2005, working for the Los Angeles-based Alternative Wrestling Show (AWS) promotion.

Mazada and Nosawa tried a reunion also in Japan in June 2005 by entering a tournament for the vacant All Asia Tag Team Championship, however, after being eliminated in their first round match, the two began feuding with each other, leading to a Loser Leaves Town match in July, where Mazada defeated Nosawa, forcing him to leave AJPW. Before the end of the year, Mazada and Nosawa made several more attempts to once again get along with each other, which eventually led to them re-forming the Tokyo Gurentai with Takemura in December. The following month, Mazada and Nosawa returned to AJPW, where, two months later, they won the first annual Junior Tag League.{{cite web | url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/japan/alljapan/juniortag.html#jrtag2006 | title=Junior Heavyweight Tag Team League 2006 | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Pro Wrestling History}} In June 2006, Mazada and Nosawa also returned to Mexico, working for Toryumon Mexico. In January 2008, the Tokyo Gurentai was turned into an official corporation, which began producing its own events on a more regular basis, with Mazada, Nosawa and Takemura becoming its official representatives. In March 2008, Mazada and Nosawa revived the UWA World Tag Team Championship, which had not been seen in eight years, losing it to the team of Kagetora and Kota Ibushi at an event held by El Dorado Wrestling.{{cite web | url = http://www.wrestling-titles.com/mexico/uwa/uwa-t.html | title = Universal Wrestling Association World Tag Team Title | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Puroresu Dojo}} In December, Mazada, Nosawa and Takemura won the Mobius promotion's Apex of Triangle Six-Man Tag Team Championship. In January 2009, Takemura suffered a shoulder injury, which would eventually force him to retire from professional wrestling. In February 2009, Fujita reunited with Mazada and Nosawa, effectively replacing Takemura as the third member of Tokyo Gurentai. He would become officially affiliated with the group in January 2010. From 2008 to 2010, Tokyo Gurentai was a sub-group of an AJPW stable named simply Gurentai, which also included Minoru Suzuki, Taiyō Kea and Yoshihiro Takayama.{{cite web | url = http://sportsnavi.yahoo.co.jp/sports/fight/all/2012/columndtl/200809130006-spnavi | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20131213225259/http://sportsnavi.yahoo.co.jp/sports/fight/all/2012/columndtl/200809130006-spnavi | script-title=ja:みのるが武藤に勝利! 全戦メーン乗っ取りへ=全日本プロレス 雷陣に緊急アクシデント……硬膜下血腫の疑い | last=Takagi | first=Hiromi | archivedate=December 13, 2013 | date=September 14, 2008 | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Sports Navi | publisher=Yahoo! | language=Japanese}}{{cite web | url = http://sportsnavi.yahoo.co.jp/fight/other/live/2010/2010012501/index.html | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20100128082736/http://sportsnavi.yahoo.co.jp/fight/other/live/2010/2010012501/index.html | title = 西口DXプロレス「Megaton8~道玄坂純情少年ラリアット~」 | archivedate=January 28, 2010 | date=January 25, 2010 | accessdate=December 15, 2013 | work=Sports Navi | publisher=Yahoo! | language=Japanese}} During the first six months of 2010, Fujita, Mazada and Nosawa worked for DDT Pro-Wrestling and Osaka Pro Wrestling and between the two promotions won the UWA World Trios Championship on two occasions.{{cite web | url = http://www.osaka-prowres.com/result/?m=20100612 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131214163915/http://www.osaka-prowres.com/result/?m=20100612 | url-status = usurped | archive-date = December 14, 2013 | script-title=ja:6月12日試合結果 | date=June 12, 2010 | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Osaka Pro Wrestling | language=Japanese}}{{cite web | url = http://www.ddtpro.com/result/ddt/article/1264412131/ | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20110706081016/http://www.ddtpro.com/result/ddt/article/1264412131/ | title = Dramatic 2010 January Special | archivedate=July 6, 2011 | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=DDT Pro-Wrestling | language=Japanese}}{{cite web | url = http://www.ddtpro.com/result/ddt/article/1276496332/ | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20110706081255/http://www.ddtpro.com/result/ddt/article/1276496332/ | title = What are you doing? 2010 | archivedate=July 6, 2011 | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=DDT Pro-Wrestling | language=Japanese}} Shortly afterwards, Tokyo Gurentai was split up, when Fujita and Nosawa joined Pro Wrestling Noah, where they chased the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, while Mazada remained a regular with AJPW.{{cite web | url = http://www.noah.co.jp/result.php?tour_id=630 | title = ~プロレスリング・ノア創立10周年記念~Summer Navig.'10 part.1「ラッシャー木村 追悼興行」 | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Pro Wrestling Noah | language=Japanese}} During 2011, Tokyo Gurentai was hit hard, when first in February, Nosawa was arrested for stealing a taxi,{{cite web | url = http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/Other_News_4/article_47873.shtml | title = Japan News: MVP's Japanese wrestling debut hits speed bump – tag partner arrested, replacement match announced | last=Caldwell | first=James | date=February 20, 2011 | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Pro Wrestling Torch}} which led to him taking a break from professional wrestling,{{cite web | url = http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/news/f-bt-tp0-20110222-740170.html | script-title=ja:論外タクシー盗む前に酒10杯 謝罪会見 記事を印刷する | date=February 22, 2011 | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Nikkan Sports | language=Japanese}}{{cite web | url = http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/12790/ | title = Nosawa論外 平身低頭で謝罪 | date=February 24, 2011 | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Tokyo Sports | language=Japanese}} and then in May, Mazada also went inactive, after being suspended by AJPW for his role in a backstage fight between Nobukazu Hirai and Yoshikazu Taru, which left Hirai in a coma.{{cite web | url = http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/news/f-bt-tp0-20110603-785135.html | script-title=ja:ヘイト暴行事件で王座はく奪など処分発表 | date=June 3, 2011 | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Nikkan Sports | language=Japanese}} Tokyo Gurentai reunited on September 28, 2011, when the stable produced its own event titled Tokyo Love II: Second Chance.{{cite web | url = http://battle-news.com/battle/2011/09/000730.php | title = 三四郎との"最後の一騎打ち"に敗れたNosawaだが、Mazadaと和解して東京愚連隊の完全復活を宣言!Cimaはバラモン兄弟と危険な再会! | date=September 28, 2011 | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | work=Battle News | language=Japanese}} Following the main event, where Nosawa lost his Tokyo World Heavyweight Championship to Sanshiro Takagi, he was confronted by Mazada, who suggested the two reformed their old tag team.
