Born '''Genichiro Shimada''' in 1950, '''Genichiro Tenryu''' is a [[UsefulNotes/{{Japan}} Japanese]] sumo and [[ProfessionalWrestling professional wrestler]]. He started as a sumo wrestler at the age of 13 and competed for 13 years. Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling's Giant Baba sent Shimada (''Tenryu'' was his ''Shikona,'' or ''ring name,'' in Sumo) to train with the Funk Brothers ([[Wrestling/TerryFunk Terry]] and Dory Jr.) in their Amarillo, Texas promotion. Tenryu debuted against [[Wrestling/TedDiBiase Ted [=DiBiase=]]] in 1976. After some time in the AJPW undercard and a brief run in Jim Crockett Promotions, his career started picking up in the 1980s. He is the second wrestler ([[Wrestling/{{Vader}} Big Van Vader]] was the first) and the first native-born one to win both the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/japan/alljapan/tc-h.html All Japan Pro Wrestling Triple Crown Heavyweight Title]] and the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/japan/newjapan/iwgp-h.html New Japan Pro Wrestling IWGP Heavyweight Title]]. He also held the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/midatlantic/nwa/nwa-ma-6.html NWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles]] with Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors. Among his other achievements, he is the only Japanese wrestler who ever defeated both Giant Baba AND [[Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling Antonio Inoki]] by pinfall. Tenryu and fellow former sumo wrestler Koji Kitao defeated Wrestling/{{Demolition}} (Smash and Crush) in the team's last-ever [=PPV=] match, at ''Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}} VII'' in 1991. Tenryu also was in the 1993 ''Wrestling/RoyalRumble'' and, as a hired gun for Mr. Fuji, was one of the ten wrestlers who attacked Wrestling/TheUndertaker during his [[GimmickMatches casket match]] with [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-h.html WWE World Heavyweight Champion]] Wrestling/{{Yokozuna}} at ''Wrestling/RoyalRumble 1994.''
