Professional wrestling career

= Toryumon Japan (2004) =

Tadasuke started training in the Toryumon Japan Dojo alongside BxB Hulk, Shingo Takagi, Yūki Ōno & Akira Tozawa as part of the 15th class. Unfortunately though, after the dissolution of Toryumon Japan into Dragon Gate there was a reduced number of trainees in the new dojo, and Tadasuke didn't make it in.{{Cite web|title=【新日本vsノア】鷹木信悟が闘龍門同期のタダスケから3カウント|url=https://sportsbull.jp/p/1200749/|access-date=2022-02-11|website=スポーツブル (スポブル)|language=ja}}

=Osaka Pro Wrestling (2007–2014)=

Tadasuke made his professional wrestling debut on April 29, 2007, losing to Tsubasa at Osaka Pro Wrestling's eighth anniversary event.{{cite web | url = http://blog.livedoor.jp/osaka_result/archives/50930290.html | script-title=ja:2007年04月29日 | date=April 29, 2007 | access-date=February 21, 2012 | work=Osaka Pro Wrestling | publisher=Livedoor |language=Japanese}} As is typical for a rookie in Japanese professional wrestling, Tadasuke's first year in the business consisted solely of losses. The losing streak finally ended on March 22, 2008, when Tadasuke pinned Robert Tanaka, with whom he had developed a storyline rivalry during the past year.{{cite web | url = http://blog.livedoor.jp/osaka_result/archives/51281849.html | script-title=ja:2008年03月22日 | date=March 22, 2008 | access-date=February 21, 2012 | work=Osaka Pro Wrestling | publisher=Livedoor |language=Japanese}} Later in the event, Tadasuke confronted Daisuke Harada and Zeus, who eventually accepted him as the third member of their new Blood & Guts stable. During the next few months, Tadasuke started picking up wins more regularly during Blood & Guts' rivalry with the Bad Force stable, though he was still seen as the lowest ranking member of his stable.{{cite web|url=http://www.f4wonline.com/component/content/article/8656/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120616054022/http://www.f4wonline.com/component/content/article/8656/|title=Full review of Osaka Pro Hurricane 2009 show|last=Lowth|first=Dan|work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter|archive-date=June 16, 2012|access-date=February 21, 2012}} On June 21, Tadasuke entered the 2008 Osaka Tag Festival, teaming with fellow Blood & Guts member Atsushi Kotoge.{{cite web | url = http://blog.livedoor.jp/osaka_result/archives/51351685.html | script-title=ja:2008年06月21日 | date=June 21, 2008 | access-date=February 21, 2012 | work=Osaka Pro Wrestling | publisher=Livedoor |language=Japanese}} Tadasuke and Kotoge eventually made it to the finals of the tournament on June 29, where they were defeated by their stablemates Daisuke Harada and Zeus.{{cite web | url = http://blog.livedoor.jp/osaka_result/archives/51357114.html | script-title=ja:2008年06月29日 | date=June 29, 2008 | access-date=February 21, 2012 | work=Osaka Pro Wrestling | publisher=Livedoor |language=Japanese}} Following the dissolution of Bad Force, Blood & Guts found new rivals in the Legion of Violence (LOV) stable.{{cite web | url = http://blog.livedoor.jp/osaka_result/archives/51425758.html | script-title=ja:2008年10月04日 | date=October 4, 2008 | access-date=February 21, 2012 | work=Osaka Pro Wrestling | publisher=Livedoor |language=Japanese}} On March 14, 2009, Tadasuke, Harada and Kotoge entered a series to determine, which of the three would get to challenge for the Independent World Junior Heavyweight Championship.

Later in April, Tadasuke reunited with Atsushi Kotoge and Daisuke Harada to represent Osaka Pro in Chikara's 2010 King of Trios tournament, with all three making their American debuts in the process. In their first round match in the tournament on April 23, Team Osaka Pro defeated The UnStable (Colin Delaney, Stigma and Vin Gerard).{{cite web|url=http://www.f4wonline.com/content/view/13130/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100427073451/http://www.f4wonline.com/content/view/13130|title=Chikara King of Trios Night 1 Report|last=Streleckis|first=Brian|archive-date=April 27, 2010|date=April 24, 2010|access-date=February 21, 2012|work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}} Unlike his partners, Tadasuke worked the tour as a villain, and in the following day's quarterfinal match, used his antics to eliminate the reigning King of Trios, F.I.S.T.

On December 26, 2010, Orochi, Tadasuke's tag team partner, who had recently turned on LOV and joined the new Joker stable, which had taken over the spot as Osaka Pro's top heel group, approached
