History Trivia / TakuyaSugi

* TalkingToHimself: In a odd case, Dual Force and SUGI's enemy RONIN are said by WordOfGod to be the same character, which means Sugi played his own archenemy when he wrestled in NOAH in 2013.

* CreatorBacklash: Although Sugi is famous for his endless list of gimmicks, this trait was actually a source of aggravation for him, as he had been wishing to wrestle under his real name since the start of his career. He had expected to break out as Sugi some time after his Mini CIMA character, but his first masked gimmicks were so successful that they basically typecasted as a multi-gimmick performer for the Japanese promotions. Sugi finally got his wish in AAA when he was given the chance to go under his true surname, and now that he has established himself as SUGI, he routinely rejects all offers to play other characters.

* OldShame: The Mini CIMA gimmick. While Sugi acknowledges it was a honor to be chosen to play the mini of a wrestling ace like Wrestling/{{CIMA}}, he felt disappointed to be given a derivative character for his early career.

** Being a fan of Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling's great heavyweights, among them Wrestling/AntonioInoki, Wrestling/TheGreatMuta and Wrestling/ShinyaHashimoto, Sugi originally wanted to become an allrounder wrestlerlike them. However, his small body size and practically forced him to become a high-flyer. This amusingly echoes the background of Hashimoto himself, who wanted to be a high-flyer but was forced to work as a heavyweight due to his large size.

He had expected to break out as Sugi some time after his Mini CIMA character, but his first masked gimmicks were so successful that they basically typecasted as a multi-gimmick performer for the Japanese promotions. Sugi finally got his wish in AAA, as its management thought the name "Yoshitsune" was too complicated for the Hispanosphere and instead allowed him to choose his ring name. Now that he has established himself as SUGI, he routinely rejects all the offers to play other characters again.

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: In 2012, Sugi was ordered by Wrestling/{{AAA}} directive Masahiro Hayashi to plant drugs in NOSAWA's baggage to get him arrested, in exchange for a solid contract. At the end, however, Takuya gave a press conference and confessed the truth. The case caused him to be expelled from the Fukumen World League (in which he was set to take part representing AAA) and get likely blackballed from most wrestling promotions in both countries. The worst thing was that Wrestling/{{Konnan}} and most of the AAA wrestlers were on his side, knowing that Hayashi had practically blackmailed him to do it. Nonetheless, many thought his career was destroyed forever, until a year later he made a brief return to Pro Wrestling NOAH under a very covert identity. It took four years for him to make his official return and one more to start wrestling full time again.
